1st time closing - water in pool light conduit - any concern?

[jkhamr]

Hello, this will be my first season winterizing, I'm wondering about the water that is in the pool light conduit. I assume it will freeze since the conduit is under the concrete pool deck, and just below the pool's water level, is there a concern, or will the ice simply expand along the conduit and not rupture the pipe since it's basically open at the junction box and not sealed off? TIA.

It should be fine. If members in Canada can get through their winters without rupturing the light conduit, you have nothing to worry about.

Thanks Newdude! I was guessing so since I haven't found a procedure to blow out the electrical conduits.
