Board & Timer Additional Notes

This timer board needs an upgraded gfci breaker for the pool lights if it's 240 / 120 v but since this is a 12v led setup there is no code need for a gfci breaker, however I recommend upgrading for safety $105 (estimated under pool light repairs).

The salt system appears to be functioning regardless of cold water (unit shuts down automatically at 55-65 degrees).

Note the salt level is low approx 4-10 bags. Recommend increasing salt mid January.

Valves & Fittings Condition: N/A$75

Overall Details

All valving is in fair to good condition. Note however due to the low acidic nature of the injection system, the injection could be enabled further down the system and should include a check valve, this will help with equipment wear (already present; leaky o rings).

Since the valves are all in fair to good shape I'd recommend opening cleaning and re lubricating all seals installed to ensure longevity of the valving.

Additionally there is one connection (acid return fitting) that is failing, and leaking, recommend Replacement fitting ($10-20).

Also recommend painting the plumbing pad as well ($55).
