My dad has been on this 3 year journey of trying to fix a leak in his inground pool. First we got a new liner, then the liner company said the light was leaking and fixed it and it kept leaking. Eventually the liner company hired a diver and said the light could still be leaking and fixed it and it kept leaking. Then my dad hired a leak find/fix company and they said the light and they fixed it and it kept leaking! Ruined the pool for 2 full seasons having to constantly add freezing cold water since they have no heater.
So this year we decided to drain the pool down so we can examine the light in dry conditions and this is what we found:
It just kept pouring out of there too. I guess so much water is in the ground from leaking that its all coming back in. One thing is for certain though, if the water can get in then it can get out too.
My plan is the following:
1) remove all that tape.
2) make a plug around the wire with heavy rubber coax seal
3) firmly insert the rubber plug.
4) epoxy over the top with the 2 part stick pool repair epoxy.
Any other suggestions or tips? Should I seal that ground screw terminal just in case its leaking there too? I dont know if its possible to leak from there or not.
Thanks.
