Hey thanks for the feedback. Messing up the concrete (gunite) or creating a leak is my biggest concern too. Finding a 1 1/2" drill bit makes a lot more sense than a hole saw, thanks. The pool light needs 1 1/2" and the metal fitting they put in ( in the otherwise 1 1/2" tube) is 1 3/8". I...

So I did some more investigation, the OD of my light is 1 1/2" (just as they said). However, this metal fitting that got plumbed into the concrete has an ID of 1 3/8". Know of any way I can make the clearance? I'm tempted to run a 1 1/2" drill bit through the hole enlarging the metal...

Hey Guys, Just bought a house with a ~8 year old pool. It's a pebbletec, in Phoenix AZ. There is some pretty nice rock work around the edges, but unfortunately there is a rather large crack where some pieces have actually chipped away. Whats the best way to deal with the cracks? Fill it up...
