Skimmer & Main Drain Additional Notes

The skimmer has many blemishes present where it appears that chunks of the plastic have been gouged out where the skimmer baskets sits normally, Additionally, the float O-ring settled area also has gouges present, Still all parts are present, but recommend updating the float and float ring and likely a weighted basket as well ($200).

If the two main drain Than seven years, which I do feel, they are judging by how they look, recommend updating them for safety ($200).

Bottom Cleaner Condition: Damaged, unit is in distressed shape and will need more than $250 in repair items currently, consider replacement options ($405-655+). $650

Cleaner #1 Cleaner #2

Return Style
Bottom Cleaner Additional Notes

There is no bottom cleaner present, but it is set up for a return style bottom cleaner, In my opinion, it may be wiser to consider a suction style bottom cleaner instead, which would require some plumbing modifications, but if you’re planning on removing a lot of the leaf debris, focusing on dust debris, a section side would be a superior option. Either a return style bottom cleaner is the Polaris 360 at approximately $600 on Amazon, My recommendation would be “the pool cleaner 4 wheel” That could be purchased on Amazon Amazon for $500 - But would likely require at least $200 in plumbing modifications.

Autofill #1 Autofill #2

Auto-Fill Additional Notes

There is an automatic filler located on the southwest portion of the pool. It is currently running continuously, which generally is a sign of water loss being present, or a faulty fill valve, recommend service to confirm ($125-250+). Note though on the opposite side of the pool on the north end appears to be a drain and the water is buttered up right to the bottom of it. Therefore, this may be simply filling and spilling over continuously, and skewing the results / issues.

To me, it appears the pool light has water condensation on the inside of the light lens, as well as some organic matter on the outside of the light lens. Recommend replacement if that is the case For safety ($900+)

Filter Additional Notes

The filter is in pretty rough shape overall, It’s band appears to be heavily corroded, but likely still intact, Recommend removing the band and properly painting it to help prolong his life ($100). Additionally, the pressure is nominal, and no leaks or presents, but the band is nearly 100% tight indicating that the tank O-ring is likely due for service / replacement ($100).

Yes - The plug and or breaker are connected to the pool light and test and reset.
Board & Timer Additional Notes

The timer has no breakers present, But is a like new ideal working controller. It appears it does have a wireless remote antenna, but it appears to be likely damaged / Remote may be missing. Note that the remote is required for all programming and if it is missing, you would likely want to order a new one ASAP - Typically, I see them online for $300 or $700 new.

In the main breaker panel, it does appear to have GFCI for the pool filter pump as well as the pool light.

Overall Details

The plumbing installed is fairly unexposed and due for re-UV painting and labeling ($200) as well as covering from UV with a UV mesh ($50).



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.
Condition
Damaged (Needs Attention)
Notes

There appears to potential be a leak at this plumbing connection, But the main leak is coming from the return solar check valve. It would be wise to likely update those two check valves to prevent issue in the future (service the return one as it looks newer and replace the return solar one as it’s older) $400.

Condition
Good
Notes

The fusion nature 2 Unit appears to be in working condition however it is also likely due for service soon ($200) Which will include new O-rings for this canister.
