    MOTOR OIL AND BRAKE FLUID (DOT 3)...HELP!!!

    Well again, thanks for all of the help. Everything seems to be back in perfect shape as it was before the "incident". Here are some pics of the pole and pads I used to help clean the surface, it seemed to work very well when the mats were "sweeping" the surface rather than just laying them ontop...

    Fix your Aqualuminator once and for all!!! (use at own risk)

    I would say it is a bit heavier. It looks like the same body as the ones pictured in your post, but it might be a bit deceiving. Luckily the housing seemed to be of a hard plastic, not glass. Thanks you for the links, I did get some enzyme stuff similar to the pool first aid for Leslies, and...

    Fix your Aqualuminator once and for all!!! (use at own risk)

    Wow, thanks for pointing that out. I wont mention it to my wife, but extra light around my deck would be great. It was a MR-16 3w with three diodes and it did look very nice when I was done forming it to the housing. I took my time and made it work without too much trouble. As far as the...

    Fix your Aqualuminator once and for all!!! (use at own risk)

    Well mine didnt go as smoothly as Matt said it would, but I knew better going into it. Seems one hour of boiling water wouldnt loosen the mastic holding the lens on. I couldnt get it to spin off without damaging the housing,so I finally popped it off with a screwdriver. Fortunately it didnt...

    MOTOR OIL AND BRAKE FLUID (DOT 3)...HELP!!!

    Just a follow up, when I got home from work a day later the pool looked great. It had a slight sheen on the surface no worse than a weekend party from suntanoil. I tore down the filter and recleaned the fingers and put it back into service while I took a dip and drank a cold beer. All of my...

    MOTOR OIL AND BRAKE FLUID (DOT 3)...HELP!!!

    thanks, i have doubled the dose of the "suntan" oil enzyme. i will breakdown the filter again when i get home and clean it again. i am concerned most about the brake fluid as from being in the buisness i know it eats some rubber surfaces (vinyl liner) and the MSDS sheet said some pretty bad...

    MOTOR OIL AND BRAKE FLUID (DOT 3)...HELP!!!

    Seems someone doesnt like me much and threw two quarts of motor oil and one quart of brake fluid (dot 3) into my pool yesterday. DE filter ran all day. I dissassembled and soaked in a de-greaser cleaned the best I could, reassembled and made a makeshift contraption with pig mats, a pole, and...

    Fix your Aqualuminator once and for all!!! (use at own risk)

    Well it has come time that I need to do this, but first a few questions forMatt 4x4 and anyone else who has done it. Does your light still work? I have seen several other MR16 12v LED bulbs,but alot of them say AC/DC will these work? They dont seem to differentiate what it is. When you cycle...
