Repairing a cracked sewer line
Step by step on how I repaired a crack in a 4" pvc sewer line between the house and the street.
Parts Used in this repair:
4" pvc elbow (45%)
4" pvc - 24" foam core pvc (short piece of pipe for repairs)
4" x 4" transitions (rubber boots at either end)
Later I learned ... I may have been looking the wrong section because it appears that there IS a 45% section made to fit sewer and drainage lines, but I didn't know where to look. Here's the name of that part at Home Depot (PVC S&D 45° Elbow, 4 in. Hub X Hub). It's $3.88 instead of the $11.32 I paid for the "full size" 4" version but you'd also need the 10-ft stick of sewer pipe since you can't get just a small section of that (bring a hack saw t...

Follow on to my first video with more details of the process. If you're somewhat handy, give this a try and save yourself a few hundred dollars. You don't even have to get into the pool to do this, really!

Lessons learned and what makes this oven different than most you’ll learn about from other videos. Not mentioned, but also like the suggestion of testing continuity on both the new and old element to verify you have found the issue.
How’s that holding up 3 years later lol
Just fine. No more critters in my attic. I think it helps that it’s protecting from direct sunlight.
What lights did you get?
Yeah Globrights are definitely crap, especially with how ridiculously expensive they are. Pentair robs people I swear.
You don’t understand how helpful this was
It's like replacing a larger pool light. In this case, I have to find out witch cable it is. My brothers pool has four lights. Thanks for your help. Good video.👍
The screws won't come out on stove any suggestions.
Don't do it this way!!!! Extremely dangerous!!! He failed to say anything about unplugging the oven until the end of his misdirecting video. You could potentially die from following this process if you don't unplug the oven. If you go through the trouble of pulling the oven out to unplug it, two screws and the access panel is off, element connections exposed and done, maybe 30 seconds. Don't do it this way, you've been warned!!!!
Your video was very helpful. Thank you!
Mine literally fell apart. The lens came off, and left me with an LED panel and some loose wires stuck in the hole. I couldn't get it out! Now, I have to hire a pool guy for $300 labor to replace it for me... That's a $900 repair!
Thank you very much for making this video!

Convert to the microbrite system with adapters that retrofit into globrite housings. Globrite are trash. Mine lasted 3 years before corroding out.
Also found these, but have not yet tried. It's supposed to be compatible with glo-brite. ruclips.net/video/GPQKVvNR0ys/видео.htmlsi=5IiQcpoy5D9J6ALt
Replace them with the jandy hydrocool p series lights. They are better and have the same color scheme as globrites. I have replaced 126 globrites last two years under warranty. They are horrible lights. The jandys fit just fine and are much better. Trust me. Better warranty as well.
Will definitely look into that with the next replacement. Hoping Jandy's are not as costly but would try anyhing that fits at this point.
I don't understand why these lights last so short time, and why can't they make it easier to just change the bulbs, instead of we have to change out the whole wiring. Great video! I'm still researching if there are alternative to the Pentair lights.
the electrical connection has to happen at the junction box far away from the water ... i wondered the same thing
What spray foam did you use?
Great video. Thanks for posting
Do not do it that way! Unless you can not access the back of your oven. Just pull your oven out and unplug it there's two screws to remove and everything is exposed Easy Peasy.
Why would you do anything without unplugging it
The Pentair Globrites have a manufacturer defect. The New model came out 12/23. Old models had casings that failed and allowed water infiltration.
Good to know. I really hope you're right, as Pentair has made a ton of $$ in the interim from people having to replace these at over $300 a pop. There really should be a class action lawsuit but the warranty is like 90 days so I guess we wouldn't have a case.
My pool guy says they’re out of stock; been waiting for 5 months. Greg, not sure if a novice like me can do this but at least but at least I know what is entailed. My pool was finished in 2022. Thanks!
I'd rather see the actual video of you replacing it
What brand of scissors are those?
Thank you sir! Not often I find the exact model I'm looking for! Great insight, very much appreciated
Very helpful video - thank you !
Very helpful in helping me know I am getting my moneys worth using my pool company to do this.
I just replaced my bake element it took me 5 minutes you really made too much work for yourself and I know I'm not the only person that wrote this and it only cost me $52 that was with shipping .....Genuine Replacement Parts Genuine Replacement Parts 210 W Hollywood., #241 Mary Esther, FL 32569 Great company very nice people and fast shipping (Fed X)
How is this particular light holding up 2 years later Greg?
Glad you asked, as I was thinking I should update. I’m 50% success. Haven’t pulled the one that went out yet to see if it has water intrusion. Will do so soon and post an update. I’m hopeful the sealer is holding and that it’s out for other reasons.
I believe that was an air bubble not a water bubble but i could be wrong. TY sir good video
Hadn’t thought of it that way, but I suppose you’re right. The only way for you to see an air bubble is to see it inside the water that has intruded, so yes air bubble confirms the water is inside the light which is not where you want it to be.
Lol thumbs down for showing non of the work
Good vid. Thanks
I had the oh shit moment, fortunately found your video shortly after, not easy with my gorilla hands but better than having to pull out the whole unit. Thanks sir!
this is truly an excellent video thank you very much. Any suggestion on knowing what length light to buy ahead of time? Do you just guess the distance from pool to the box?
The only way to be sure is to go ahead and pull the old light and attach the fish tape so it's ready to receive the new one. Then measure the length of the cord and add a few feet so you'll have room to work. I "guessed" on one of mine and ended up short so I saved that one for a future replacement. Expensive mistake but I'll need it some day I'm sure.
these lights are crap. pentair knows they are faulty
Thank you so much for this video! I just replaced one of my lights and not sure I would have even tried without this video.
We have 1 light that brunt out after only 2 years, LED. Says should last 10 years. Got a message on my phone that says low voltage. Would that mean the entire light needs replaced? I looked in the box and all the wires look clean and connected. Please advise. I also don't have the option on my phone for the color show, just shows white. option. Thanks!
Sounds familiar, but my system does not have the app integrated. If you see water inside the lens of the light, that could be causing the voltage drop and root cause of the light going out. I think the white LED's are a little less expensive than color, but they're still high.
Any ideas online where to purchase these seems like a lot of gouging going on out there for a globrite colored led
what should one of these cost? for say 100ft cable?
About $375
do you know of somewhere online ?@@gregmoore1661
@@gregmoore1661Gregg where can I buy one ? Which site specifically? Great video !!!

Sounds very high, nearly double what you can purchase them for. At Pool Supply Unlimited, the lights I last purchased in 2021 are currently $378.25. Perhaps these are not the same as yours, but this is a reputable site if you want to check it out. Sounds like doing the work yourself could save some serious coin, even if you had to buy a decent fish tape, which most people don't have. www.poolsupplyunlimited.com/pool/pentair-602054-globrite-color-led-pool-light/141526p1
Really really well done video thank you very much you save me a lot of money
You mention Silicone? Could you explain where to apply and why? thanks
Greg, i have 3 pool lights that i need to replace similar to your pentair; but jandy nicheless. I noticed i have no junction box; it appears with wiring for the 3 lights is leading toward a transformer box to low voltage. Would i do the same process as you did, but to the transformer box instead? thanks in advance
Probably so. Just find the conduit and attach the fish tape, start pulling the light out and you’ll know. Maybe tie string to all three so you’ll know which one you’re pulling.
Greg, Thanks for the video. I have a question about getting the light out of the "nitch". After I turn to loosen it, it is not coming out. I've used a screwdriver but does not seem to help. I'm afraid to get too ruff with it and break something I shouldn't. Could the silicone have formed a bond that is making this more difficult than it should? I tried loosing another light and was able to get the light out. I'm going to get in the pool (with googles on) to see if that might help me better see where I might apply pressure with the screwdriver. Any thoughts?
The plastic around the rim is pretty thick so as long as you're gentle, there's not too much risk in damaging the light. However, if the light is already out (bad) then it shouldn't really matter, right? Just avoid putting pressure on the niche itself so you don't end up with a visible dent, you know.
This is not the best way to go. Way easier to connect the element by removing two screws in the back and accessing the terminals.
You're probably right. Thanks for sharing.
Awesomeness
Did you order light directly from Pentair?
No, not sure they sell direct. I used one of the online vendors.
Really helpful! My wife and I were able to install three of these lights fairly easily after watching your video. Thanks much for making and posting!!
Where are people ordering these parts through. Couldnt find a match on amazon or ebay my usual go to websites

Thank you !
Hmm what I’d I don’t feel a lock when I try to lock the light back in place? It just keeps spinning
Is there an alternative to these POS Pentair globrites? I hate spending cubic dollars repeatedly on this junk!
