so it seems that the socket is riveted to a plate behind the socket. you can make out the rivets in the pic. there seem to be 4 rivets. If i pop them off, is there an easy way to mount a new one back in provided i can get one at a lighting store?

I'll take another look at the socket tomorrow but i don't know how easy it will be to replace because the bottom is full of the epoxy or whatever waterproofing material is used. I think i may be able just remove the socket part as you suggested. Do you know if the big box home improvement...

update... I tested with some alligator clips at the transformer...bulb lit test at the junction box where the niche connects...bulb lit tested again in the fixture...nothing So obviously it is the actual fixture or the wiring to the fixture. I am not an expert but i did connect my multimeter...

Of course that is only talking about labor. $400 surely wouldn't cover labor and materials. They are expensive little things!

Negative on the brand and/or model. It isn't identifiable on the casing anymore. It uses a 75 watt - 12 volt - MR16 - Bi-Pin (GU5.3) Base. It is the underwater niche style housing. From the post above it is a low voltage source. I took a picture of it and attempted to post it. The only...

Re: Piping question. Additional line on suction side of pum Ok. so pump is in and working. Thanks for the help on that. Didn't get a picture of that setup yet but i did take a picture of the eyeball socket that was was talking about before. I also felt in there as far back as my fingers...

Re: Piping question. Additional line on suction side of pum Once again, appreciate immensely the responses. Didn't have a chance to take pics today. Busy day. Had to rewire all of the pump wiring and remove the heater wiring. They had a service disconnect for the heater but only a double...

Re: Piping question. Additional line on suction side of pum It is too dark to take a pic right now but of the three parts: the eyeball, the collar, and the threaded insert...it is the threaded insert that is broken. In fact, the eyeball and collar are not even there because the part is...

Re: Piping question. Additional line on suction side of pum found this thread and it is similar to my question about the return jets. any-good-suggestions-to-remove-plaster-from-return-threads-t53584.html?hilit=return%20jet%20repair%20return%20jet%20pool%20return%20pipe wasn't able to find...

Re: Piping question. Additional line on suction side of pum So i took another look around and there is a non-covered and non-threaded opening in the side of the pool. I think it can safely be confirmed that it is for a suction side cleaner. A bit of the housing has been broken off and i...
