Folks, i've read through a number of posts on this subject and am certain this topic is covered but can't seem to pull out the relevant details for my use case... apologies if available elsewhere, please feel free to send a link to an existing thread if easier.
Opened pool this year after a winter of significant rainfall only to find the water level way down at the level of the lights so suspecting a leak at one of the light housings.
See attached shot...
Looks like concrete was used to plug the hole at back of housing where cord comes through. Is this right? I suspect not and that it should be going through connection point in upper right section of housing?
Could this be responsible for pool leaking? Need to try to fill it a bit and use the dye test (which worked well for my skimmer leaks last year).
What to do? Is there any type of waterproof silicone glue that could be used to plug the leak? Something that cures while wet? I could use some ding stick or light weight epoxy to seal hole but would need to chip it out for any future maintenance. Recommendations?
The light housing itself seems to have a good seal against the concrete/plaster. How best to remove the entire housing? Is this possible? Would it need to be reset with concrete?
As always, thanks in advance.
