Salt Control System Additional Notes

I am receiving a salt cell / check cell error during solar operation (which is normal as there is no flow during that time). This may also potentially be due to a bad cell ($650+) as I do see the metal blades vibrating some - indicating it may have issues present - due to age and condition it likely is covered under warranty but if not expect a cost of $650+ + service call ($150)

Valves & Fittings Condition: Great - Like New Condition$700

The valving present is all in ideal working condition without issue at this time. Recommend minor, UV coverage and labeling ($200+).

Yes, the equipment pad does have a thinning layer of UV protectant paint, and it is due to be re-painted and / or have a UV shade device ($50+) placed over the top / sides of equipment pad to help ensure long PVC piping life AS WELL AS 2x+ or more equipment life.
