Do any of you see any problem with my plan to cut/slice the 120V wires located inside a 120V pool light? These two wires feed the "color wheel" on a Pentair SAM light. The color wheel has a circuit board on it that has gone bad (color wheel doesn't rotate). I have a spare SAM light for parts. I...

My replacement light bulbs have arrived for my old Pentair SAM Amerilite lights. I have new gaskets. One of the light leaked and was half full of pool water. I want to be sure it doesn't leak again. I will install the new gasket around the lens dry, but should I put anything between the rubber...

I have two Pentair "SAM" (color changing) pool lights. Both stopped working a while ago. I finally got around to pulling from their niches to inspect (one is full of water the other may just be bad bulbs). I noticed when I removed the lights, that one light had a S/S face ring screw and the...

I'm looking for information regarding how much light output (lumens, candlepower/candela, foot-Lambert, whatever) for the (Pentair) SAM Spectrum Amerilite (color changing) and the Pentair IntelliBrite 5G (color changing) pool lights. For comparison, it would be helpful to know what the light...

I frequently find my Polaris 360 (pressure side cleaner) just sitting in the same spot turning its wheels but not going anywhere. It seems that the coil of the hose holds it back. If I use the pool leaf-screen to give the hose a toss (sort of unlooping the hose) the 360 will happily take off a...

My pool water is dropping. It's not evaporation and there are no external visible leaks. How do the professional leak detectors find underground leaks (sonic detectors, etc.)?

I have two underground conduits that are about 50ft and 70ft installed eight years ago. I think there is about a total of 180 degrees in bends (two 45s and a 90). I want to pull out the old 120V "color changing" pool lights and replace with LED. I had the shorter light out of its basket (which...

I'm replacing my rusted out old Jandy milli-volt Spa Heater. Its about 7-8 years old. I already replaced about every part over the years (including heat exchanger) and now housing is falling apart. I want a heater with "Cupro-nickel" heat exchanger (I have a Salt water pool). I also see the...

I have 1HP Whisperflow pump setup for my waterfalls (and available for future water features), and a separate pump for the pool filtering. I want to install a Pressure Side Pool Cleaner that normally would require a Booster Pump. The 1HP pump has a 2" return line directly to pool with an...

I am having an unusual problem. My pump is not filling with water (the strainer basket is empty). This is a 1 HP Whisperflow on 20K in-ground pool. Pool has a suction type cleaner. Here's the background. 1) It started one day about two weeks ago (I noticed a different sound from pump and saw...
