I ended up replacing the bulbs with similar halogens. The following from 1000bulbs.com were the right combination of meeting specs, 4000 hours life, low cost, and relatively fast shipping. https://www.1000bulbs.com/product/57008/MR16-753604.html I didn’t want to fuss with expensive bulbs, LED...

Can someone please explain why it is better to start a new thread than reply to an existing one? A moderator recently moved my reply to a new thread instead of leaving it in the old thread after I stubbornly ignored the thread status warning when writing my reply. This seems to be a common...

I ordered the G/flex 650-8 "toughened" epoxy instead of the 655 "thickened" or other variants. I wanted something that would flow better into the damaged strain relief and was available quickly from Amazon. Then I did a cardboard & tape molding, requiring two pours due to leakage. The light...

Moved from here. I'm the latest victim of a leaking Sam light. I had to replace the bulbs on my ~2005 fixture, and I think the act of moving it around caused a leak at the cord entry. Mine worked fine for a night, but the next day one bulb was burned out, the color wheel wasn't moving, and there...

Just to close this one out, I ordered a Weir door, float valve, gasket, and basket from http://www.inyopools.com/pool_parts_waterway_renegade_skimmer.aspx Everything fits great except the door is just a little narrow for my liking. I can remove the door by just pushing it a bit without...

This looks just like the light I pulled yesterday. I posted in another thread with replacement options including bulbs and the parts page at INYO Pools. https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/led-replacement-bulb-for-pentair-sam-light.142933/

You should look here for a post I just added on replacement options https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/led-replacement-bulb-for-pentair-sam-light.142933/ Water inside the housing is OK. On my housing there's absolutely nothing to keep water out. Water inside the light module - behind the...

My Spectrum Amerlite stopped working on Friday night, both bulbs are dead, and I wanted to update the community on replacement options. Although I'd like the better colors that an entire LED replacement light would offer, I've got concerns about pulling a new cord and compatibility with my...

I went ahead and chipped off the grout. It was like a popcorn kernel stuck between my teeth, I just couldn’t resist. Sure enough, there are two formed-plastic holes (with backs) for the pivot. I guess now I just order the parts and live the high life.

Thanks for the response! So do I just have an old Waterway Renegade skimmer? I'm a little worried about chipping out the cement and causing a leak. I don't understand why the installer would have not installed a weir door and instead plugged up the pivot holes. It is even more strange because...

I've already searched the forums and INYOPools but can't find an exact match. http://www.inyopools.com/pool_part_cat_Skimmer_Parts.aspx http://www.inyopools.com/pool_parts_oem_weirs.aspx I've also tried e-mailing INYOPools and Waterway, but haven't heard back. Thanks in advance for the help. We...
