Ikelite in a pool

I believe Ikelite discourages using their housings in swimming pools due to possible reactions between the plastic and the chemicals.

Does anyone have actual experiences with this ?

I've never heard this before.

I've used my Ikelite housing in the pool many times and so far so good.

Irwin,

Where did you hear this? Absolute non-sense.......

In chlorinated water simply rinse afterward and push buttons to flush out. I've used my Ikelite housings for years in pools.....

As I recall, it might have been Ike himself, but I can't find the actual reference. Good to hear a couple of people haven't had any bad experiences.

Anyone else ?

Irwin did not hear it from ike............

If the pool chemicals were strong enough to damage an Ikelite housing...think what they would do to your skin !!

Take it in the pool all you want...you're not going to hurt it.

all you need to do after is, RINSE, RINSE and RINSE some more (make sure you depress all buttons, toggle all knobs whilst rinsing)

Thank you, sir, I'll take that as your blanket endorsement.

Of course............

I came with the "self healing" feature, the housings do not.
