Board & Timer Condition: Damaged (Needs Attention)$

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

Overall the timer appears to be in working condition, however due to improper mounting and placement the timer could not be examined further.

Also this equipment panel is wired incorectly for safety.

The first issue is the labeled pool light gfi breaker does not power the light instead it powers the fitler pump.

The second issue is there is a GFCI plug on the bottom that does not appear to be able to be reset, however it does trip. This is a cause for concern.

Overall this panel should be mounted correctly as well as rewired for safety ($250) + parts ($100-200).

Auxiliary Timer Condition: Good $

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

The auxillary salt system does power on and function, however it appears that there is a bad flow sensor located inside the plumbing, this can be easily replaced for $60 part + $125 installation. This should resolve any issue with the salt system, if it does not, then the next issue may be the salt cell; $300-550 depending on output options.
