Approx Gallonage: 25k Gallons
Dimensions: 18 x 28
Notes: The swimming pool plaster is in good condition considering its age. I would expect another 3-10 years from this good quality plaster surface. Also note that the water balance was most likely perfect the entire age of the swimming pool to accomplish these results. Continue such balance and experience up to 15 years of additional plaster life.

Model: DE Filter
Size: Not labeled.
Notes: The filter is in fair working condition. This filter is able to keep the water crystal clear. However if anything goes wrong with this filter during its operation, parts will be difficult to find and more expensive to replace. I feel replacement is needed in the next 1-12 months. Cost $775-1075

Overall Details

Manufacturer: Ortega
Model: Copper / 3 Way Valves x 2
Size: 1 3/4
Notes: The valving installed is original and older than 25 years. The valves are also partially buried under dirt. These two issues, age and location, make me feel that replacement will be required for proper operation. Ie proper operation; 2 working, smooth, above ground valves, that don't require you to use a custom pitch fork to turn valving to precise positions for proper pool and spa suction and return flow. Approx cost $550 to upgrade. Ideal when adjusting pool and spa heat operation.
