Both skimmer have been HEAVILY abused. The north skimmer has signs of leak repair work performed to it, which appears older than 5 years. Therefore recommend either repairing both skimmers ($450) via temporary epoxy again or ideally repalcment of both skimmers ($2500x2) soon to resolve any leaks that may be present.

Filter Pump Notes
Filter Pump Additional Notes

Poor working condition. Recommend replacment lid o ring now ($100) and a leak on the suction side plumbing ($300).

This is a high energy consumer pump, and the bearings on the motor are of issue and will cause the motor to fail soon. I would anticipate the pump lasting another 1-24 months before replacement is required ($750+).

Note that a check valve should be added ($400) to allow pump to function more ideally.

A better fit would be a Superflo Vs ($1850 installed) or the correct sized is the I3 ($2675 installed).
