    Can't get screw out on underwater light fixture to replace bulb.

    Hey guys thanks for all your responses. Got it out, using my JIS driver and some Drive Grip. It stayed on the head of my JIS long enough even submerged. I gave it a tighten then loosen, and got the sucker !! Very happy. Back in business and very happy to not have to dip into a cold pool.

    Can't get screw out on underwater light fixture to replace bulb.

    Understanding the benefit of a variable pump.

    Thanks Jim, I clean my filter every 2-4 weeks. I basically take it out and blast it with a hose. Quite a bit of dirty water rinses out of it, along with small debris, such as dead grass, leaves and a few bugs here and there.. I thought the idea of having the pump running for a good few hrs was...
