Additional Water Quality Notes

Overall the water quality is clean and clear, however the hardness is slightly high and the cynuric is slightly high. I would recommend doing a 1/2 drain ($250) before the spring season.

Filter Additional Notes

Manufacturer: Clean and Clear
Model: ccp 320
SQFT: 320
Notes: The filter is in fair condition. It shows no signs of leaks. The filter pressure is high. And the filter elements need replacement every one to two years ($355), expect these filters to need replacement very soon as the filter pressure is very high (+15psi) also the pressure gauge is failing may need replacement in the next 1-6 months ($35). Last this filter is 10-15 years old and the outter shell is fading and the paint / fiberglass is also failing, expect replacement top only ($210) or entire unit ($1100) in the next 3 - 15 years.

The energy bowl filter is also on the older side, however no items are failing at this time. Expect the bowl o ring to need replacement in the next 1 - 6 months ($54).

Notes: The filter pump is in working condition. However this is a waterfall or high flow pump, the cartridge filter is not typically designed for this application. Recommend replacement with proper pump ($575) or energy efficient pump ($1275) when pump replacement is needed.

Expect a cost of $55-155 for a new pump lid, lid o ring, and pump basket in the next 1 - 3 months.

Waterfall Pump Additional Notes

The waterfall pump is in good working condition. This pump is a 3/4 HP Sta- Rite Dynamic Glas filter pump. This pump was actually probably supposed to be the filter pump or was at one time until the two pump may have been mistakenly swapped. Overall this pump is rated well for the filtration of the pool but not the solar.
