Overall Details

Equipment pad has air leaking Ortega valves that are older than 20 years old as well as booster pump connection fittings that are failing and In need of repair, as well as leaks in several areas of plumbing which all could be corrected ($1275).

Additionally paint would be applied at that time for uv protection.


Due for maintenance, medium equipment pad, Required every 10-15 years, all valving must be opened, cleaned, lubricated, and re sealed to ensure longevity of equipment.
No, the equipment pad is not UV protected by a UV protectant paint, recommend painting this pad to ensure long PVC piping life as well as certain equipment, The equipment appears to be in direct sunlight a large portion of the day. By simply covering the equipment with a UV mesh shade ($25-55 on Amazon + Installation) you will see approx 3x equipment life and 3x less equipment breakdown. This is recommended here.
