    New leaf net

    This looks the same as the one I got off ebay advertised as a Red Baron knockoff. I'm really happy with it.

    Pool Cover ID

    Looks like my 20 year old pool cover is dissolving. Nothing on the cover or the bag tells me the brand. The Meyco, Loop Loc, etc all look the same to me online. Anybody want to take a guess?

    Too Far Gone?

    You can get another season out of it. My patch kit has pieces that are 23" x 6". It's not going to look good, but you should be able to make it work. You could also think about getting it replaced at the end of the year before you close (if you close). That would save you a little bit of...

    Cutting the light cord

    Just went and looked at the wire. It says UF/B, so that's good. Not that I'll be leaving the light, but there is more wire going around the other side of the pool for garden lights. I think the plan now is to remove the light, then we'll revisit redoing the whole patio area in a few years...

    Troubleshooting an old pool light

    When you say in the concrete deck, do you mean the junction box is in or above the concrete? How high above water level? Sent from my LG-H950 using Tapatalk

    Cutting the light cord

    No, but I will look into that. I am outside of the city limits and I don't think inspections were needed but I will make a call. Thanks.

    Cutting the light cord

    Yeah, that's why I am leaning toward cutting the light and fixing this later. I was hoping to find something like this in my diving board when I first started looking, but didn't.

    Cutting the light cord

    I have been looking for the junction box for 7 years off and on, Dave. This was probably a little after I spoke to you on the phone about another issue I had. Time sure flies :) I believe others had mentioned earlier that they have found J boxes mounted flush with the deck and also buried in...

    Cutting the light cord

    Opened pool to liner with rips above the water line. I can patch and swim for as long as I need to this year, but we'll be getting one by season's end. Already been measured for a new one. My problem is that I have no idea where my pool light junction box is, so I cannot remove the light for...

    Nicheless light options

    Do you actually see the black light cord at the pad? I'm asking because I'm in a similar predicament.

    Options for a nicheless light

    I know this is a very old thread, but if you see this, did you get a new light or leave the old one. I had my own question about installing a new liner with the same kind of light. Do lights have to be removed to install a new liner? I have the nicheless Aqualumin but I cannot remove the...

    Floating Pool Candles

    If your wife sees these things on sale, thinks they're cute, and brings them home one day, I have one suggestion for you: Make sure they make it to the curb on trash day. Trust me on this one.

    Underwater Light and GFCI

    I've been digging by hand behind the wall but haven't found anything. I think the wall and pool were all built at the same time. I'll get the shovel out when I get a chance. :-D

    Underwater Light and GFCI

    It's a 2-wire cord. Here are some pics to give you a visual. Pic 1 is the cord coming from the switch. It heads under the concrete toward the light end of the pool. Pic 2 is halfway from the switch to the light. Pic 3 is directly behind the diving board. I've dug around back there and...

    Underwater Light and GFCI

    OK, I went ahead and got the diving board off. Nothing in there but a bunch of old small beehives :lol: Now a new mystery. Where does the light go from here? Does it go all the way to the switch? :scratch: I'm going to go ahead and replace the switch with one of those combo...

    Underwater Light and GFCI

    I checked all of the GFCI outlets and none of them turned off the light. As far as I can tell, I've got wire running from the breaker box to a light switch about 20' from the pool. Then to the light. I need to do a little work to get the board off. I doubt if it's been removed in the 14...

    Underwater Light and GFCI

    I've got an Aqualumin Nicheless Light 120V. I cannot find a GFCI that is connected to the light. I've tested all of the outlets in the pool area and there is none at the circuit breaker. I am going to replace the diving board hardware in a couple days so when I take the board off, I don't...

    Are the Pentair Aqualumin II and III interchangable?

    Seems like everyone has the one with 50 foot. I would give these guys a call. Maybe they can find you one. They're pretty friendly. http://secure.poolcenter.com/AQUALUMIN- ... /78864200/

    Are the Pentair Aqualumin II and III interchangable?

    I just called them and was told that yes, they are interchangeable. I'm in the same boat.

    Poolguard In Ground Pool Alarm

    I put one in this year too and would recommend it. One thing I might add. I just started turning my pump off during the night (with timers) and found that it goes off in the morning when the pump starts back up. Not sure how I'm going to account for that yet. Leslies has them at a good...
