Excellent! Thank you for this information. I had no idea they were still building these. In retrospect, I think mine is also steel-walled with a concrete base... probably near the 30 yr mark now. Either way I'm hoping it can be repaired when the next liner goes in.

Hi... I recently changed my pool light from a 500w incandescent to a 50w LED. I ordered a new round Hayward seal and tightened it down to what I thought was satisfactory. I returned the light to the sidewall, turned it on and everything was good.. actually better than the old light. The next...
