Gang,
I've got someone in my neighborhood that just moved into their house and there's a Sundance Cameo that was built in 1995 half sunken into their back deck. (we can get under the deck to access the pumps and control system to do any maintenance)
They haven't got it running yet as their hose in the backyard is broke and right now have no way of filling it. They plan on getting the spicket fixed this week and I told him I'd help him out trying to get it up and running.
I went by there last night and it's in pretty good shape for 10 years old. It's was sitting with a little water in the bottom so there was stuff basically growing/living in it. Pretty nasty. I think it's been empty for a while (a few months maybe but could be longer). The cushions need replacing and the filter is down right nasty. Shell looks in pretty good shape though and all the jets appear to be intact.
We're going to try to get it filled sometime this week and get it cleaned out.
What kinds of things should I expect might be wrong with it since we're not sure how long it's been since it's run. Should I maybe recommend to him to get a Sundance technician out there to give it a once over before doing anything? I don't know if it may need new pump seals or if the pumps are even working.
Also, how easy is it go get replacement parts for a 10 year old Sundance?
Any help or thoughts before we try anything would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken
