LED lights in salt pool dead within 3 years, Replace with ???

[wishIcould]

Update it is 9/15/18 and the Hayward are still working. Do note my friend didn't listen to me and got Zodiac/Jandy LED when we got our Haywards on her new pool as they thought they looked better. Guess which friend already had an Zodiac LED fail completely last week and they told her it was out of warranty. Now she needs to decide should she replace 1/3 with a different brand or stick to Zodiac for aesthetics..... I warned her to run from Zodic/Jandy LED....

Thanks for the update.

As little as we use the light, we’re thinking of getting rid of it completely when it comes time to replace the liner (currently 14 years old).

I just think after the newness wears off we just won’t use it.

Thanks for the info. I have had little direct contact with working pool lights, and have never had a customer (commercial) who wanted to spend the $$$$ to fix or replace, so I've never really dug into info about them.

2019 and the Hayward are still working... everything Jandy/Zodiac is just plain garbage. Salt system is constantly throwing good money after bad... now the heater is going... We keep our water balanced 100% all year with taylor testing on our own weekly and additionally occasionally confirming with the local pool store. Jandy/Zodica destroyed itself - seems they make products to break. By the way all 3 lights on my friends pool went out last year, she is replacing with Hayward if any one goes out again. NEVER BUY JANDY/Zodiac is the only learned lesson over the years, even the after market parts are lasting longer than OEM parts from Zodiac. PS you can't write a bad review on Zodiac at your pool store even after going through Zodia. Leslies and another store won't allow them!!! Disgusting.
