Overall Details

All piping and valving are in fair working condition. Due to the age of the installed items I would recommend;

1. All valving, and unions, to be opened, cleaned, and lubricated, then resealed.

2. Re-painted

3. All foliage trimmed back to allow proper shade yet easy access. A roof to cover equipment would be best, to resolve foliage build up, and degradation.
