Nolan Kienitz Posted March 1, 2008 Report 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 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.
msteger Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 Nolan, I would agree with your buyer's request. Who knows how much corrosion exists in that panel.
