Board & Timer Additional Notes

The timer housing is in poor condition, however the timers are in fair working condition. The timers both are missing their terminal protection plate (plastic) on both sides. This is a safety issue and should be corrected asap. ($55)

Both timers appear to be newer than 10 years. And at some time the box was left open compromising the enclosure and causing rust. Recommend painting this now inside and out ($125) and Recommend box replacement in the next 5 - 15 years. ($505)

The pool light GFCI and pool pump gfci's are also not up to date, and will need replacement upon updating the pool light ($290).
