Notes: This swimming pool is in overall good condition.

The plaster surface has either been acid washed (poorly) or this is natural wearing patterns.

Spa Jet Additional Notes

This Spa Jet Pump is in good working condition at this time.

Upon arrival this pump did not have water filled to the top of the pump lid, this is not uncommon for pumps of this age (15 years+) therefore you must either install a check valve system (+$350) and or replace the pump lid o ring ($35). Otherwise prolonged use of a pump that must get prime upon every use will expire the pump prematurly.

The motor is not new and will need replacement in the next 1-48 months ($575-1325).
