modifying a safety cover?

[jtnaylor]

Vinyl 16 x 38 with center step here. Oddball size and hard to find cover. Found the one on ebay - loop-loc and used the live.com's 25% cashback on ebay purchases going on right now to get $222 back! Can't beat it.

Anyway - I'll take your advise and put a waterbag around that area. The pool leg is maybe 6" away from the pool edge. I'm betting I can keep the straps around it fairly loose and do fine.

We don't get much if any snow here. It's just the leaves - good lord the LEAVES! They make me crazy.

I have a hayward color logic light in the box I'm about to install - and then I'll go on and sink the anchors for this cover.

I thought I knew where the junction box was for the pool light but now I've found another one... not sure which one it is hah! I guess I'll just shut the whole house off and start pulling wires til I figure it out.

If it's not one thing it's another when you own a pool I guess. My pump went out a few weeks ago. Replaced it - pool light went out and then I noticed it had water in it and just basically is really old and needs replacing. So I got the color logic - now another chunk of cash for the cover and my credit card is screaming at this point.


Thanks again for the advice!

Vinyl Guy gave you great! advice on the safety cover!! Please follow it!!

If you need a little advice on installing the cover or the new LED light - let me know, I do dozens of both every year If you tell mr e what you see in the 2 junction boxes, I may be able to narrow down which one is for your light.

Yeah - gotta love this place

Thanks for the offer. My stuff is set up so there is a main breaker on the far side of the house (in the main breaker box) that shuts off the pool equpipment - and another set (with GFI) that shuts off the pool lights.

Then they are connected to a breaker box on the opposite side of the house (where the pool equipment is located) There I have switches to control the two pumps.

As for the lights - they go to the porch where there are 2 switches. One for the floodlight on the house - and one for the underwater pool light.

Also by the pool equipment there is a hayward natural gas heater. I have never used the heater and don't even know if it works. But beside of it is a junction box sticking several inches out of the ground. The junction box is larger than the other one in question - I don't know if this is for the pool light (I suspect it is) or if it is the electricity for the heater???

The other box is closer to the pool - right against my house. It's smaller in size and doesn't stick up AS far as the other box. But it's still serveral inches above ground. If it would stop raining I'd go out and open the boxes up.
