This is an older Jandy filter. It is heavily sun-beaten and exposed, so much that the model cannot be read, but it does appear to be a CL, likely a 340 or 460. It is in relatively poor sun-beaten shape and condition. There do not appear to be any leaks on this filter, which is good, but the pressure is fairly high, indicating the elements inside are likely due to be serviced at around $150 or less. It would then likely be determined that the filter elements themselves are due to be updated at a cost of around $500 and up. It would be wise to consider at least updating the pressure gauge at that time at around $50 and up. The tank O-ring will also be serviced and likely updated if it has not been done in the past two years, which is also likely, at around $100 and up. This filter is so old that it would not be wise to put too much more money into it. It already appears to potentially have a split union on its bottom area, requiring a $200 repair as well if that is in fact the case, which does look fairly likely. A new filter like the AquaStar PLF 35,000, which costs around $950, is an excellent option compared to this filter.
Cost summary: element service around $150 or less, filter elements around $500 and up, pressure gauge around $50 and up, tank O-ring around $100 and up, split union repair $200 if confirmed. Service path total around $1,000 and up. New AquaStar PLF 35,000 alternative around $950.
