Filter Additional Notes

The filter is a Jandy CL 460 cartridge. It’s currently at 12/19 PSI when the pump is running, which appears to be a 0.75 HP pump, indicating that these elements are very very dirty and are due for service at around $150. Also, the filter elements may be so dirty because they’re overdue for a replacement, and if so, replacement for the filter elements are around $500 plus that service to install them. I would likely recommend both at this time based on visual. As for its condition, I don’t know. I also want to mention that there’s a check valve that comes out of the filter that is showing the filter is likely blocking more than 90% flow. Recommend service ASAP.
Estimated total: $650.

Filter Pump Notes
Filter Pump Additional Notes

The Jandy Flo Pro filter pump is in working condition. It has been run in a stressed state likely for most of its lifetime. I would imagine currently when the pump runs, the motor is a three out of four on heat, and that is while it’s in the shade, so therefore this pump is being overstressed due to a dirty filter element. This pump is technically undersized for this particular cartridge filter, likely unable to push water through a dirty filter and solar, therefore a more ideal at minimum pump would be a variable speed Super Flo VS—this pump likely would run around $1800 installed and would be a wise at minimum choice for this application. Versus this current pump, if paired up with a consistently clean cartridge filter, may not be an issue pumping onto the solar assembly, but when the filters are dirty, it is not able to do so, and this is very common in a swimming pool application. This pump is technically working right now, hot to the touch, but if the filter elements are cleaned and well-maintained, it will likely have minimal issue.

Overall Details

Looking at the plumbing, it all appears to be leak-free, recommend painting and re labeling pad ($300). And hose updates on in line chlorinator ($200).



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.
