Notes: The fencing is not self closing or self latching at this time. It needs minor modification to the swiming fencing post, to allow this to clear the bttom of the fence and self close. The latch also needs minor maintenance to allow this gate to self latch. Both would can be helped by a simple fix via a fencing laborer ($50 fix, I can refer someone).

Additional Water Quality Notes

The water quality overall is fair to good. There is significant leaf debris in the pool / system for a long period of time, this turns into Phosphates in the water.

The phosphates need to be removed before the spring season begins or face extreme alage outbreaks.

Phopshate removal is $20-$35 in chemicals and within 3-7 days the filter MUST be cleaned to effectivly remove the phosphates from the water.

Depending on the age of the sand currently, the sand should be replaced every 10 years.

Overall Details

There are three actuator valves installed.

One actuator valve works but two do not.

The actuator that controls the suction side is no longer in working condition. It may only need a minor adjusts, currently it spins and spins even though it is supposed to only turn one direction then stop, then back and stop.

If minor adjustments do not fix this issue replacement will be recommended ($200 each valve).
