Filter Additional Notes

This filter is in excellent condition and close to new in age. I would expect it last many years before a new filter is needed. Unfortunately, this filteri rated far to small by the manufacturer to accommodate this pool. As well, this filter is far to small as far as California safety codes are concerned. To install a filter up to code will cost 1250 for parts and labor for the minimum sized filter that would suffice.

Heater Additional Notes

This heater is working with out issue and has a bonding wirely properly fastened to the unit. I would expect this heater to have issues often. This heater is around 20 years old. This as an expensive heater to own. These older heaters are not nearly As gas or energy Effecient as a new heater. I would expect this heater to require repair or replacement within the next 1-12 months. A new heater is 3500 upwards to 5500 parts and labor dependent on the BTU of the heater.
