Filter Condition: Fair (Normal to High Filter Pressure - Filter Cleaning Treatment Recommended $55) $

Filter #1 Filter #2
Filter Brand Filter Model
Filter Notes
Filter Additional Notes

Manufacturer: Jandy
Model: CL 340
SQFT: 340
Notes: This cartridge filter needs to have the elements cleaned ($65) and the cartridges need replacement every 18-24 months per the recommendation of the manufactuerer ($350).

The filter also has a known high pressure issue with its band and o ring ($190 + 65) around the filter as it will leak if the pressure gets above 30-65% of its recommened pressure rating (20-35psi) that is why this filter is not recommended for this current pump and or it MUST be cleaned and maintained every 1-3 months to avoid high pressure issues, until the pump is replaced and swapped with a lower hp / lower flow pump.

Filter Pump Condition: Good$

Filter Pump Additional Notes

Manufacturer: Jandy
Model: HHP
HP: 1.5
Notes: This filter pump is in fair to good condition. The pump body is in fair condition, and the pump motor is in good condition. The motor is not original. It is between 6 - 24 months old. The failure of this motor was most likly caused by an improper water level. Also the skimmer float is not installed so this would cause this pump failure until it is replaced, once replaced this motor should be free of any future potential harm.

Manufacturer: Jandy
Model: 200-400BTU Natural Gas Heater
Notes: The heater does not turn on at this time. It may need a repair ($350) or replacement ($2800). The heater does not receive power from the board, once you put the outside panel into service or time out mode and press the heater button the unit does not receive power.

Equipment Control System


Board & Timer Condition: Damaged (Needs Attention)$

Board/Timer #1 Board/Timer #2
GFCI Compliant
Board & Timer Additional Notes

This Jandy Aquaink system appears to be in good working condition which includes its handhelp PDA remote located inside in the master bedroom bathroom drawer. However there appears to be one issue that needs resolution; the heater cannot be turned on via the outdoor panel / pda. Recommend repair on this item ($125+) to allow the heater to function.

Auxiliary Timer Condition: N/A $

Auxiliary Timer #1 Auxiliary Timer #2
Auxiliary Timer Additional Notes

Salt Control Systems Condition: Damaged (Needs Attention)$

Salt Control #1 Salt Control #2
Salt System Power Detect Salt Flow Detect Salt Presence Low Salt
Salt Control System Additional Notes

The salt controller (The Main Jandy Board) is in working condition, however it appears that the salt cell is not in working condtion, as it is unplugged and not in use. The salt cells need replacement every 3-7 years ($500) and this is most likely the case here. Also note if this cell is to not be in use it should be removed as it has fine very thin plates that will eventually get so compacted with debris that it will inhibit flow. This is the case here, most likly causing unneeded back pressure in this system, simply replace with a spacer cell ($50) and remove current cell ASAP.

Valves & Fittings Condition: Good$

Overall Details

These valves, and actuators are all in working condition. However they are between 7-12 years old, and at least one actuator ($325) will fail in the next 4 - 24 months (there are two installed).

Also there are all original valving here, these valves need their o rings replaced every 5 - 10 years ($275) I do not feel this has been done since installation. Recommend service.

I also spotted one leak located on the last 90 degree elbow before returning to the labeled "side SPA JETS"; This 90 needs replacement ($175).

Also the spa check valves should be replaced every 5-10 years to avoid pump damage. Recommend internal components to be changed ($50 each).
