Gonna revive my old thread as I finally got the goggles on and found my pool light has about 2” of water in it. Talking about a new pool here,
It’s almost the same scenario as last summer, except now I’m going to pause pulling a new fixture until the Fall/Winter. I nearly died of heat exhaustion last year with that pull.
I can surmise the leak is from the cord and epoxy rather than the glass lens gasket. The gasket actually looks newer, and probably was replaced with a new light not too long ago. I’m not following my rule here, but I need to get this leaky fixture back in the pool and get it to hold water for 4 months.
Has anyone had success with a type of glue/epoxy/super glue or other compound for placing inside the fixture to repair the epoxy base?
