    Pool light niche bonding mount broken

    Nope. After hours of research it seems like the only way to repair it is to rip out the niche (which is a massive expensive job). I twisted the bonding jumper around what was left of the lug, and reinstalled the light. Its very difficult to get an understanding for what that wire actually...

    Pool light niche bonding mount broken

    Well the Pool Light Adapter Repair Ring did not fit into my pentair plastic niche. So thats a bust sadly. The grounding bond clamp I used to temporarily secure the bonding Jumper to the broken lug at the back of the plastic niche is rusting like crazy, so I need to get that out asap. Frank...

    Pool light niche bonding mount broken

    Hey James, I figured I'd ask this since its fresh. As mentioned, my long term fix is to use the ss repair ring which will allow the light to have a grounding path to the bonding jumper (inside the niche) and the bonding wire (outside the niche) ...... via the pilot screw. I just came across...

    Replacing Hayward incandescent light

    We went with the "open box" incandescent fitting from amazon for $150. (link). Then swapped the bulb out with the Bulbwizards LED bulb (link). I've only had it in the pool for 2 days, and its really nice. Obviously 2 days isn't long enough to give a good review, but if you search for...

    Pool light niche bonding mount broken

    Hi, I replaced my 120v pentair pool light today. It all went pretty smoothly, and the light is operational now. This is a 'new to me' pool that came with the house, so I don't know the history. I have not lowered the water, chipping out the old epoxy sealing the conduit sure sucked! However...

    Pool light troubleshooting

    Thanks KD Pool guy! I ended up snagging that light Pool Clown linked to for $225. Direct replacement and cheap. That way I have some parts if needed from the old one, and I'm guessing given the patina on it, that that model lasts a while (I hope at least).

    Pool light troubleshooting

    Our pool light was on during a rainstorm a few weeks back, and tripped the GFCI. Troubleshooting time! (I have a bit of electrical background so know what to touch and when). When I initially reset it, it came back on for a minute then tripped again, it did this a few more times, then started...
