Good Day, I am in the market for new light fixtures, I've called the local pool stores and feel like I'm getting taken to the woodshed. Can anyone recommend a website for purchasing supplies, LED light fixtures is the project du jour. Also, because this technology (LED) is so new and ever...

Thanks, sorry for using wrong description, how difficult is changing the light fixture? Is this DIY or call the pool guy repair? Also if replacing 1 should I consider replacing all 3 (2 pool 1 spa) at the same time. Pool is 12 years old, how long should fixtures last?. Last question what...

One of our pool lights burnt out, I replaced the bulb with 300w (300 w is what the fixture calls for) feit, and it immediately blew. I did notice when removing the old bulb that the very bottom of the the Edison base had detached, (the bulb glass did not seperate from the Edison base) just a...

A couple weeks ago we were fortunate (or so we thought) to have a Jandy company employee to our house to inspect our Laars heater. While out I asked for him to check out our spa controls, which he hooked up a computer/ handheld devise to the outside breaker box (my term for it). Long and...

Good day everyone, Newbie here, great site, very informative. :-D We purchased a foreclosed home, empty for 3 years and it was a mess, so bad, we could not see the top step into the pool and had no idea which end was shallow and deep. We had the pool professionally dumped and cleaned (acid...
