Overall Details

It does appear that the valves are in poor working condition with salt build up present indicating the seals are likely compromised in this plumbing application. To service existing o ring sets on all equipment expect $750+ or with o rings $1000+. Recommend new o rings service.

Also The plumbing is heavily Sun damaged recommend painting and labeling ($200).


Due for maintenance, medium equipment pad, Required every 10-15 years, all valving must be opened, cleaned, lubricated, and re sealed to ensure longevity of equipment.
No, the equipment pad is not UV protected by a UV protectant paint, recommend painting this pad to ensure long PVC piping life as well as certain equipment, The equipment appears to be in direct sunlight a large portion of the day. By simply covering the equipment with a UV mesh shade ($25-55 on Amazon + Installation) you will see approx 3x equipment life and 3x less equipment breakdown. This is recommended here.
