I sent mine back. Both were chipped. Bab packaging. One wad seperated into two parts. It popped into position; no problem. They wete really cheap looking. I made a mistake!

I'll add to Jerry's excellent description that it woks by heating the plastic a bit and thus dissolving it to a point the two parts stick together. The heat is the result of electricity passing through a little coil in the little sealing area. Worked for me for a couple of months then I stopped using it since it broke down.

I don't recall seeing any water pooling on the top so it must be draining off. My first box cracked and they replaced. The replacement is fine.

my housing is different than the picture, it's split right in the middle instead of towards the top, but there's no trick to opening it, sometimes it's just harder than others, be sure and put some vaseline on the rubber washer when you reassemble

Sorry but I can't help because the new one I purchased to replace the plastic one has been installed. I would have to remove it to check inside. However the plastic model does route the water through plastic to the discharge. It was still functional, so I kept it as a spare. It was replaced only for cosmetic reasons because the chrome plating was coming off of the plastic.

There is a seam where the two plastic parts separate. There is the base piece where ball sits in and the cube part over it.

Hi Chris, so sorry you are having this problem. If the water is coming out from the bottom through the grid where the wiring is .... you can see it through the multiple little holes, it is defective. There are two "legs", one on each side to slide out and anchor the device. Please let me know what happens.

Mine also is desintegrating. I find pieces of the fringe all over my pool.Unfortunately I don't know either about the warranty.I've had mine about 2 months....

There is a plug on the top that opens like a plastic inflatable toy. It doesn't look like its shown in the photo but its there. I hope this helps.

One of mine was like that, too. There is a rubber gasket inside so that it does not leak when you put it in the pool, but makes it hard to open. My husband used pliers and a thin towel (so as not to destroy the plastic) to get some extra leverage to open it. Ours are still going strong :)

It is smaller than the round on bottom. I bought two of these pools and before I could get them filled they blew out on the sides.

in my case it was very difficult. no fault of the light. if the pool has been replastered since new installation they might have filled the conduit with plaster. this will create real problem getting the old cable out.

Yes it is but it didn't work on my pool, I have the above ground pool that has the metal poles on top that connect and the liner goes through the poles and holds it all together, this liner that I purchased does not have the holes to stick the poles through, it is a different type. I still have the liner if you are interested because I never returned it

I would remove it when the kids are in the pool they could break the fittings if they crash into it.It is easily removed and reinstalled I do it all the time.you will be amazed how well it works!

On the right side at the top there is a hole, stick the plastic end in there. Let me know if this doesn't work.

As far as I could tell the bubble part is on one complete side. and it is flat on the other complete side. I don't notice the seam. with that being said the cover was oversized and I had my pool guy cut it to fit.. I've never had a problem as you describe.

it will depend on what type of vacuum set up your pool has? My pool is a doughboy, the lid of the skimmer is taken off and placed inside my skimmer when I vacuum, the connection for my vacuum hose is on the inside of the pool at the bottom of the skimmer, I had to buy an adapter for this set up. The other vacuum set up is most common, the round piece that has the vacuum connection on the top, this style is placed in the skimmer as well but the hose is not connected inside the pool. My neighbor had this set up and the swim time vacuum hose fit perfectly on it. Hope this helps
