    We bought a new balast last October and were told these lights lasted much longer than the other set I had; any feedback on how long those lights really are good for??

    Sump - HELP!

    Thank you all very much for your help; it was the impeller inside the pump; we had taken it out and cleaned it all up (we do this on a regular basis); but there was a defect with the impeller itself. Replaced it and all is good again! Thank you!!!
