Hi All,
My pool light fixture (spa sized) has a tiny leak and trips the GFI breaker. It's not the lens gasket, I can remove the fixture, swab out the tiniest bit of moisture, and reassemble it only to get one run before it quits. My thought is, on cool-down after turning it off, the fixture creates a slight vacuum which pulls in a smidge of water, just enough to kill it for next time. I'd like to swap over to a new LED color switching lamp.
The pool is 25 years old, the current 120v cable is run in PVC. I've looked for videos on problems pulling new cable thru old conduit, but all I see is how simple and easy it is to do. Pool repairman thinks it could be a nightmare and now I'm worried the old cable won't budge.
Any tips or tricks to get it done? Also, the spa sized LED lamp reviews are all mediocre to horrible. Any preference on the lamp unit?
Thanks!
Russ
