Overall Details

My only complaint is that this equipment pad should be labeled and covered from UV = ASAP ($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., 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.

Ran for 45 minutes, lots of air on the returns non stop, I also likely spotted 10 possible previous / current blemish / leaks. If leaking and due for service to plug ($1k+) if instead panels are due to be updated with some plumbing ($2-3k).
