Thank you both for your feedback. Now I just have to decide which one to get as there is so many and some rebranded names to make it more confusing. The one I am looking at does not have a swivel cable, does anyone know if the standard cable is good with the figure 8 pools? I have read about...

Hello, I was looking for any feedback from pool owners who have a figure 8 shaped pool (or Kidney shaped) and who use a robotic pool cleaner. What is your experience, how well do they clean and how long does it take, ie- do you think the shape slows your robot down, does it do the whole pool in...

Thanks for the suggestion Mdragger88 I have already been looking at these taps, which are hard to find where I am, I was more interested in which style is best from people who have used them for chlorine, so I can be more specific on my ebay search. As for drinking bleach I would think that no...

I am using the following water cooler as my chlorine dispenser, it works like a dream apart from the tap (button release) which has a metal spring and over time rusts and needs replacing. The hole in the cooler is 3/4" (19mm). I was wondering if anyone else has used plastic taps and am looking...

At this point I am swaying back to just buying a replacement bulb for my old light, as old as it is. It seems the LED lights just don't last in a pool, you would think that with all the current technology we would not be going backwards. As my existing light uses the Par56 bulb type after more...

Thanks for this info. I had a look but was put off as I found some potential problems, not sure how they would fit in my existing lights Niche, I have a retro fit adapter for it which lets you attach most of the the big brand new LED's, but they are all flat to the wall unlike these. The price...

I have been looking for the newer design in lights but can't seem to find any that talk about heat dissipation or heat resistant components, do you know of any models or brands that I can search for? Any links you can send with these features would be helpful if you have any.

@setsailsoon Do you think that being underwater, that would be sufficent to keep the LED's cool?

@setsailsoon Thanks for the great insight, I never thought of the resin causing heat issues with the LED lights, when you think LED you think heat reduction, but this will make me think twice about them now. The problem with these Ebay lights is that there is never any reviews and I can't seem...

I am considering changing my old pool lights and was wondering if anyone has had any experiences with the 12V LED pool lights on ebay. I have been looking at this one in particular, anyone else used these resin filled lights? Also what are the general thoughts on LED lights compared to the...

Yes the ring goes all the way around the pool but is stronger in the shaded areas, the pool has never been at that low level since it was installed decades ago. I am thinking that Texas Splash is correct and the ring is calcium staining mixed with organic staining and will be taking his advice...

Appreciate your replying Texas Splash, once the CH is normal again will the calcium staining go away over time or is there any way to treat it? Would adding Citric Acid stain remover fix the problem? (once CH is down). I have already stopped using granular chlorine and am now using liquid. I...
