    Pool Light Problems

    Another question.. I have a 500W bulb. Is it safe to assume that I have a 120V model and not the 12V model?

    Pool Light Problems

    Thanks for the tips. So I guess I can't take the existing cord off and just attach it to the new fixture assembly huh? I guess the "fishing" it through will work though..Just need to see how long a cord I will need. Thanks again!

    removing dust from pool

    thank you so much for the info... How do I measure the cya level? is there even a test for that? If I take a sample of it to the pool store, can they do it? I will keep shocking the pool to bring the FC level up. Hopefully that will do the trick..plus it keeps raining every Dang day over...
