    Can you use a Hayward transformer with Jandy Lights

    My Hawyard Colorlogic have failed multiple times- only once under warranty- flicker of death, and we are finally replacing with Jandy. The transformer that is already in place is a Hayward. Can I use that or is there something unusual about it and I need a Jandy or other brand?

    I just bought a Pentair EC602128 Amerilite 10 Inch 120 Volt 500 Watt pool light. I wired it to my switch and the power goes all the way to the new housing but the light doesn't turn on.

    Pool and Spa Light Replacement Options

    I am looking at replacing a broken spa light. I first started looking at the Pentair Intellibrite, but the idea of having to replace the entire fixture when it stops working in the future doesn’t sound good to me. Does anyone have any experience with the color LED bulbs by PoolTone? I think...

    Alternate Hayward/Pentair bulb replacement

    I have a 120V multicolor LED in both of my pool lights. Replacements are $899 each. It’s not worth that much to have pool lights. Currently the lights are ColorLogic 4.0 sp0527LED100. Are there other light bulb assemblies that will fit this Pentair receptacle?
