Going from ColorLogic light to a Pentair Amerilite

[creechy]

My ColorLogic Led light is dead and has to be replaced. The cost for a new ColorLogic was over $1,000. My pool service man said we could replace it with a Pentair Amerilite. Will that work? It is about 1/2 the cost.

Thanks for your help!

The cost for the Hayward Colorlogic is around $400. Tell him to reduce his installation cost. The Pentair is around $200. You need to be sure it will fit in your niche, but your pool guy should handle that.

How old is the light. You may have a warranty claim with Hayward if you have other products you purchased at the same time.

Note the Pentair warranty is only one year also.

Thank you! I called Hayward for advice but was on hold for over 30 minutes. So, I emailed them and they said I would need a new light. It is about 6 years old.

You might want to check out the Color Splash XG series made by J&J electronics. They have a 3 yr warranty. We have had ours in for about a month so no long term feedback, but we like them so far. http://jandjpoolspa.com/ColorSplashFixture.html I called them before I bought them and they said they are serviceable if you're familiar with electronics.

BTW, I'm not associated with J&J, just have some in my pool.
