Filter #1 Filter #2
Filter Brand Filter Model
Jandy Jandy cl340
Filter Notes
Normal to High Filter Pressure - Indicating a filter cleaning ($85) is necessary to identify filter element quality of life, if elements were recently cleaned this is indicating element replacement is needed in the next 1 - 24 months ($150-450)
Filter Additional Notes

The filter is currently dirty and needing to be cleaned ($85) filter elements may need to be replaced soon ($375) but first check at cleaning. Account for tank seals ($205) when servicing this filter for operation over the next 1 - 10 years.

Overall I recommend an Sd 80 / 60 here for a much better filteration alternative (tr-100 being the best option).

Filter Pump Notes
Poor, the pool pump has significant air or is struggling to prime in its pump basket. The motor is failing making loud noise, the shaft o-ring or seal plate o-ring has failed and is leaking, and / or has hot or very hot motor.
Filter Pump Additional Notes

This pump is well over sized for the plumbing installed recommend removing this pump immediately it is not suited for this application an alternative would be a half horsepower pump ($405) or a variable speed 1 1/2 hp pump ($1375). Variable would be best to adjust to plumbing restrictions.
