Hey, all...
I have an older Sam Spectrum amerlite pool light that had a small leak. I cleaned it out, got everything working again, replaced the lens gasket with an original Pentair gasket (#79101600Z) as I was told the black rubber gaskets are not as good.
About 2 weeks later, I noticed the lite was taking on water again, but worse this time. So I removed the lite & it's now drying out again.
The only thing different I did was (here it comes) I put o-ring lube/sealer around the lens gasket, thinking it would prevent anymore leaks. It didn't.
So my question is, before I tighten everything down, should I or should I not use any o-ring sealer around the lens gasket?
I have a new Pentair gasket to use, I also have a silicone gasket I was going to try too...
Thanks in advance for any help...
