New Pool Owner Question about equipment condition

[IowaToyotas]

Good Morning,


Sorry I don't mean to be vague but I was wonder if someone could tell me about the condition and what type of maintenance I'm looking at on my pool I just purchased. It's a salt water pool and I have some pictures of the equipment, its about 10X30 standard size.

Welcome to TFP. How does the water look? Is all the equipment working like you think it should be?

Sorry I was going to post more pictures but ran out of storage on the site. Yes the water looks very crystal clear and the equipment seems to be functioning normal. The only thing I just don't know is when it first turns on it does make a whine that settles down and turns into a nice very quite running system.

I was also seeking a second opinion on my gear and if this is a good setup, anything I should add?

Hi! You can add more pics two ways:

-become a supporting member-more pics, tax deductible, discount on good test kit, discount at IYOPOOL.com, helps us keep the lights on :sun:

-photo bucket using the IMG code.

I see a test kit on the wall. Do you know which test kit it is? Have you tested the water?

Do you know what kind of filter you have?

Sorry for more questions but it will help us get you up to speed on your pool.

You may have a variable speed pump. If so, its not uncommon for it to come up in "prime" mode, which is the highest speed, and once primed, set itself to a lower speed. My pump is pretty loud when priming, but at 1400 RPM can't hear it from a short distance away.
