Skimmer & Main Drain Additional Notes

Skimmer Notes: The two American Standard skimmers are located on the north side of the swimming pool. Both have float valves installed however the o ring is missing in one unit. Recommend replacement of one of the two skimmer float valves ($55).

Main Drain Notes: There are three main drain covers / main drains throughout this pool and spa. The pool has one non VGBA complaint cover and the spa has two. Recommend replacement ($88 each), and future installation of a dual main drain system in the deep end of the swimming pool ($100-250 extra during re plaster or $1200 to install now) otherwise this main drain area is a hazard for swimmers. Future entrapment risk is high.

This Hayward h400 Natural Gas Heater is in fair to poor condition. It appears to be 10-12 years old and I would expect this item to work another 1-10 depending on use, water chemistry, and uv exposure. With the current chemistry it will degrade the heater. Range the water from 7.0-7.3

Overall Details

There are 2-3 Jandy 3 way valves installed, 2 Jandy lube valves, and two Intermatic actuator valves installed. All are in working condition. However I would highly recommend replacement ($255). of the 2 Jandy lubrication valves as these are the old standard and when they leak (1-5 years) it may leak water and erode the hill side if left for a long duration.
