Overall Details

The valving present is all in working condition without leaks except for one valve (waterfall). The two solar check valves will likely need updating soon ($600). Equipment pad will also need to be painted labeled and ideally covered from UV using a UV mesh ($300). There are five three-way valves that will need to be opened and serviced. One is currently leaking and the rest will leak soon if they are not serviced ($800).



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.
