I have a 10+ year old in-ground pool that was installed by a previous owner. The wires feeding from the outdoor pump house were ran in seal-tight and buried. All the other equipment (including the wiring from the light niche to the pool j-box and from the pool j-box to the light switch) are...

I can run new wire. I guess I would dig around the conduit in the pump house and cut it and glue an extension on it to get it up to the subpanel. i was just hoping to avoid pulling another 100' pull of 3 wires. I should also mention for the record that the light is low voltage and the wires...

Hi Doug, Thanks for the response. I may not have described it properly. The pool side: The light is in a wet niche with a j-box installed approx. 8" above grade (and 18" or so above the level of the pool water) and approx 48" from the pool. From that j-box, there is pvc conduit running...

I bought a home with an existing pool 2 summers ago. I noticed that out in the pump house, a piece of sealtight has broken and cut partially through the ground wire of the pool light circuit. There is sealtight running from the subpanel to about 4" underground. At that point, there is a male...

Here are a couple of pics!

Here it is. There is no sticker on the tank. The multiport valve has no name brand on it, but the model number is 272526. Thanks.

Sorry to take so long. Here is a picture. :)

Yes, indeed! I added two large (182 oz) jugs of 6% chlorine bleach, which according to the pool calculator should bring me up to around 7 ppm FC. Thanks again for all of your help!

The pool is finally coming around. Unfortunately, my vacation is over with no swim time. :( The pool is still a little cloudy, but vastly improved. I can see the design on the vinyl floor down to about 5-6' deep. I'm getting ready to add some bleach for the first time in several days. I...
