    Light niche and draining the pool - vinyl worries.

    As a follow up, I'm keeping a close eye on the liner. So far no tears or bubbling, thought the corners in the deep end have come out just a little bit from the wall. The liner still feels tacky and pliable, not rigid, so I'm hopeful that this brief dry spell won't harm it too much. I've got an...

    Light niche and draining the pool - vinyl worries.

    To follow up, the shallow end has about 4” of water in it, and the deep end has a few feet. The water line is just below the niche. Here’s a picture!

    Light niche and draining the pool - vinyl worries.

    Hello all, I’ve got an older pool (1990s) with a vinyl liner from 2019. The light niche ring has corrosion on it, and the light itself has been malfunctioning. There is not enough slack in the cord to access the light niche without draining the water, so the pool guys drained the water down...

    Finding my equipment pad bonding wire

    Yes, and that's the rub, as I have no idea who originally constructed the pool. My limited knowledge of bonding issues with pools led me to the conclusion that improper bonding can lead to rapid damage of metal parts in the pool due to galvanic corrosion - none of the metal pool parts are...

    Finding my equipment pad bonding wire

    We have a single light in the deep end- I can’t photograph it right now as the pool cover is still on, a substantial distance away and opposite from the deep end where the pool light is. When we moved in the pool liner was detached so we had the walls reinforced and checked before a new liner...

    Finding my equipment pad bonding wire

    I’ll follow up by noting that the installer placed a gauge of wire into the bonding nut on the pump and looped it into the wires on the brick wall - that’s the wire you can see behind the heater/pump in the picture.

    Finding my equipment pad bonding wire

    Hello all! Long time lurker - we bought a house with a pool in 2019 - pool was built in the early 90s, not sure by whom or to what standard. In any case, the pump gave out and I had to have a new one installed this month. The pool installer noted that he couldn’t find the bonding wire near the...
