I went ahead and took the unit apart. As far as I can tell the gearbox is bad. The video guy says you should be able to blow on it and it rotates. Mine is not moving at all and I can’t twist it by hand. So I am going to try replacing this part. Everything else seems to be moving fine so fingers...

I have one of the yellow critters - perhaps 10 years old. I have maintained the exterior of the unit - new shoes last year, just put new flaps on the bottom this year. But the unit this year makes a bee line for the wall and then stops. Normally it would shimmy around and then go cruising...

Thanks. Funny, the replacement setup is $100 more than buying a whole new Light. I did find a transformer on Amazon for $25 and I am going to try it out.

Water got into the housing for the transformer and I it is shot. I would like to replace just the transformer but can't seem to find anything that is close. Original is: 120V black/white/ground 13.1V 40.6 VA output yellow/yellow Bulb I think is halogen 35W I thought finding a transformer...

Moved from here. Hi. My bulb just went. Looking to do this. Looks like color changing bulbs are crazy cheap on Amazon with remotes to control. quick question. What size is the hole when the light is pulled out? I want to get a stopper so I can play around on my work bench when I pull it out...

Thanks for the feedback. I do tend to pump the water off as when it freezes it can become a real problem. Related to this - is it ok to add in a second or a third pillow under the cover to create a smaller area where rain water collects? I use a cover pump but at present it has to be moved...

In general, I have pumped the water off the cover on my above ground pool. However, I saw some videos this year from companies closing pools that actually added water to the cover after closing to keep the cover down? What is the general consensus on this? Thanks.

I am in the middle of replacing the liner on my 18 ft round, 52" high pool. The pool is 5 years old, the liner had a hole this winter, drained, and deformed, so I had to pull it out. The base was in good shape and I decided not to rebuild the cove assuming the new liner would fit just the way...

I have an above ground round 18 foot pool - it's 4 years old. During the winter it leaked out from a hole at the bottom. I couldn't see this until the cover started to stretch down. I just opened it up and all of the water was gone. I patched the hole and started to fill it again. There are...

I have the same question. I need to replace the cap/railing around the top of the walls of the pool. In my case it is metal. The pool is old, I bought the house with it. I have no documentation or can find any manufacturer information on the outside of the pool - is there a common place to...
