Filter Pump Additional Notes

There is condensation present under the filter pump, but I cannot see where any leak is located. Likely a drain plug o ring or pump lid o ring - recommend minor service to likely resolve ($50).

Also note that the pump is having a communication issue often an issue with the drive ($750+). Normally this pump at only 8 years old should last 20-35 years but this pump has likely been sun exposed for quite some time and as a result may have caused issue with internal electronics of this pump.

If the pump drive is bad expect a cost of $750+ install $450 vs a new pump all together ($1600+).

Recommend a service call to confirm this issue as drive related ($250+) or ideally a bad com wire / programming ($250+).
