All of the faucets in the master bathroom had a brown tinge to the water so I let them run all the time that I was here in order to clear up, photo below.

The pool water timer valve was leaking quite a bit when I first arrived, photo below. I removed it to see if the gasket had any issues but it didn’t. After I put it back on and retained it it didn’t leak anymore.

4/26/22: The water main valve was on upon arrival, I turned it off before departure. I said the battery maintainer up on the car and it was operating upon my departure. I found the thermostat fan setting to ON when it should be set to AUTO. Due to the setting there was high humidity inside your condo. The fan runs constantly actually helps build humidity inside.
