Bottom Cleaner Additional Notes

The bottom cleaner is my favorite. The pool cleaner made by Hayward now. The unit is in working condition. It does have older hoses installed and a low quality in line leaf basket that looks recently updated. My recommendation would be to update the hoses at a hose swivel and the in-line leaf basket to a much more ideal unit (Pentair top mount) all for = ($300+).

Filter Additional Notes

Filters are older one is leaking at its air bleed (north). Both filters are very old, but working, small for this application (gpm). If this was my pool I’d remove these and install the absolute best = a Tr-140c Sand Filter $3200+) or for a budget options a single cartridge filter ($1250+)vs doing any repairs.

To update / repair the current filters ie new elements, air bleed, etc expect a cost of approx $750 total, which I would not recommend due to age and condition.

Overall Details

All plumbing and Valving is leaking air and water. Recommend re do ing this equipment pad as it is all older / damaged condition parts. Approx cost $1500+.



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.
