ok.... my pool is probably 15 years old in the house we bought. I tried to remove the spa light assembly to replace the bulb but the idiots didnt leave enough chord... The spa light is probably 15 years old too.
So I drain the spa and pull the light assembly out and lay it in the spa bottom. I decide to go buy a new assembly cause this one looks shot... $280...
Now I disconnect the spa light electricals from the junction box. Then I go to pull the assembly and chord out of the pool...
Some smart guy has packed the conduit that the cable comes through in the back of the light niche with silicone. I cant get the cable to budge. I pull and pull and then I try to cut some of the silicone away... I pull and pull and... the cable breaks in half! I am left with the old light unit with no cable coming out of it...
Ok... I still try and try to pull on the cable and it is sealed tight. So now I go to the junction box and I try and pull the cable back out that way... no luck. I get out a pulley and try... the thing wont budge. I pull and pull with the pulley and... the cable breaks again.
So now I am left with no way to get a new spa light installed in my inground pool. Looks like I may have to just put the old broken light back in and forget having a spa light..
Stuck with a broken spa light cable in pvc which is packed with silicone...
Any suggestions?
