Nolan Kienitz Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 At Thursday's inspection I observed a lot of rust on the screws for the deadfront cover. That was my first clue ... in addition to all the pool chemicals stored below the panel. Once I opened the cover I discovered a "new shade" of copper and rust on all surfaces. Then I also commented on the likely corrosion to all the circuit breaker internals. Buyer has requested seller replace the entire panel, breakers, etc. I told my client that was a very good call.

Jesse Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 In my former life I worked at a couple big public pools. It's amazing the corrosion the chemicals can cause. I left a tool box in a pump room overnight once. Once was enough to learn my lesson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msteger Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Nolan, I would agree with your buyer's request. Who knows how much corrosion exists in that panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
