I have 4 Pentair Globrite lights. 1 failed and was replaced under warranty and 2 just failed in the year after the warranty expired. Pentair sent me 2 lights as a courtesy which I will install soon.
Coincidentally, at the same time my Warrior SE cleaner failed just prior to the warranty expiration and Pentair sent a service company to look at the unit (service company confirmed the problem but has to check back with Pentair to see if they want to replace the unit or parts). While here, I mentioned the Globrite failures and the service company rep said he sees lots of failures within in a few years of the pool construction which he blames on the pool settling. He said once replaced he rarely sees problems with the replacements since the pool is no longer settling.
What has your experience been- should I expect continued failures every 2-3 years or do replacements really last longer?
