New home with pool - what am I looking at?

Postby Magnum » Mon 23 Aug, 2021 22:17

Hi All, I've moved into a new home with a pool. All I know is it's a salt water pool, and other than that I'm kinda overwhelmed by the pool shed and all the devices in it. I intend to really figures this all out, but I was hoping someone could give me a quick rundown as to what the equipment is and generally what I should be doing with it. Pics attached.

No1 looks like a heater.
Dennis has covered the rest.
I may not give you the answer you want to hear, but I will give an honest opinion of your situation as you decribe it.
