    Pentair GloBrite Failure, Removal & Replacement

    One other comment to include in this thread for future readers. I also plan to remove the remaining functioning light at the same time I install replacements for the two that failed. I will apply the silicone sealant "hack" to the working light in the hopes I can extend its longevity and avoid...

    Pentair GloBrite Failure, Removal & Replacement

    Yes I pulled through an electricians nylon fish line and have secured anchors on both ends of the line. Probably overkill but wouldn't want either end of the fish line to somehow accidentally get pulled through, or lose an end inside the conduit.

    Pentair GloBrite Failure, Removal & Replacement

    Thanks @ajw22 for the additional ideas. I'm trying to get out with the least hit to my wallet. I think the MicroBrites look like a great option but are a bit spendier. I value the OEM lighting integration so my plan will be to buy a Pentair 602055 GloBrite replacement and implement the YT...

    Pentair GloBrite Failure, Removal & Replacement

    You're absolutely right, sorry I missed that in their description text. Out of curiosity, what is your solution? Just waiting it out until a replacement is available, and keeping the damaged bulb in place awaiting removal when you have a new unit to install? I'll buy just one F.S. nicheless unit...

    Pentair GloBrite Failure, Removal & Replacement

    Thank you @mknauss. To clarify, the replacement unit I'm looking at appears to be smaller in footprint than the 6" model you reference. Florida Sunseeker has a nicheless option (edited my original post to include) that advertises as a replacement for GloBrites. Is this the same device you are...

    Pentair GloBrite Failure, Removal & Replacement

    Success. So after some brute strength and back and forth tugging on both ends, I was finally able to freely pull the entire light and cord through the conduit. I would still be interested in viable replacement alternatives. The model I linked to Florida Sunseekers appears to be advertised as a...

    Pentair GloBrite Failure, Removal & Replacement

    Like so many others, I have encountered failure on two out of my three Pentair GloBrite in ground pool lights. Interestingly, the two failed within days of each other, while the third is still operating, for now. I'm looking into Florida Sunseeker replacement options, as OEM Pentair lights are...

    Chlorine Injection System DIY - Tank Pickup Tube Floating

    I'm just finishing my cheap DIY chlorine injection build and began running tests. I filled my tank with 10.5% chlorine and now realize my norprene pickup tube is floating to the top. How have y'all addressed this so that the pickup line doesn't float and suck air? I have some PVC and CPVC pipe...
