My daughter’s pool. concrete , salt system 12k gallons. Built in 2004, salt added sometime after. Commercially maintained,- or ignored!!
We dropped water level because of high salt, 4300.
While the water was lowered, I pulled the light for a new bulb/gasket/trim and found this corrosion! Wrong unit for a salt pool?
It‘a a Hayward unit, I haven’t broken it open yet because I have to cut the collar screw.
Update: Not corrosion! PB actually sprayed everything while building pool! My guess is, the lights got pulled through before the spraying and they were too lazy/rushed to cover the lights! Same scenario for the spa light!
