You are right, it should eventually.

Yes, that's what I had to do with a conduit for landscape lights -- use a shop vac to pull a string in. Not sure how well it will work with water though, never tried it. So, the pool may need to be drained for the shop vac to pull air rather than water.

I do not see a problem with electrical codes. There is no difference between an electrical conduit and the vacuum line: both are just PVC pipes. So, technically, the existing PVC pipe can be repurposed as a conduit by modifying it where it exits near the equipment pad. Nether is bonding...

I have two lights in the pool. The right one is the one year old globrite replacement, the left one is the recent micro replacement. Both are white lights, I do not care much for color.

The micro produces less light (14W vs 15W), but in my case it does not matter because the pool was too bright anyway. The left image is a micro, the right one is a globrite:

What difference do you have in mind ? Lighting or physical appearance ?

Looks like a globrite, but the picture is too blurry so I cannot be sure. If your conduit is ok, it's a pretty easy job. An electrician pull cord is probably preferred, but I just used an ordinary thin nylon cord from HD. You attach the cord to the old cable with electrical tape at the...

I had one globrite replaced under the pool builder warranty last year after nly 2.5 years. Another one died a week ago (after 3.5 years), see the crack at the rear on the first picture and the manufacture date on the second: I've replaced it with a microbrite. At least, I managed to get @...

Thanks for the tip. Last year (after 2+ years), I lost one Glo-brite which was replaced free of charge by Pentair via the pool builder 3 year warranty. A couple of days ago, I lost the second globrite, after 3 years and 4 months. So, I decided to go with a microbrite+adapter replacement...

Looks good... In October, you'll swim :) It takes about 2.5-3mo for a pool this size in SoFL now.

Yes, the skimmer equalizer port can be connected to the main drain to allow the skimmer to operate if the water level falls below the skimmer opening. It is not depicted on the plan, though. https://blog.intheswim.com/inground-pool-skimmer-plumbing-diagrams/ For overflow, there has to be an...
