Anyone have a product that works or do I just replace em. Thanks

I am working on a pool and the chrome trim rings on the lights seem to have been painted. Before I replace with new has anyone had sucess with painting their covers. They are Pentail Ameri Lights.

Looking at installing a new SR Smith Art-1004 railing to my pool. Dimensions make it more functional if I was to install it using the first step (underwater) to attatch the anchors vs deck mount. If I deck mount it is too high (for my wife) and does not extend into the pool enough. She has...

Is there an easy way (like that is an actual real thing... easy) to plug ONE port of a Jandy 3 way valve that is open or the top is off. I want to make sure that I am only testing the pipe and not the valve seal. Actually they are Pentair 3 Way valves - and the openings inside are oval and do...

Finally going to get a solar reel and keep my pool covered more this summer. Have used solar covers on and off, but never used much due to the hassle of installing and removing by myself. I tried cutting into pieces and am just getting to old or lazy to install and remove it. Just did not...
