If you do want it waterproofed then mount it and spray it with WD40? John. Long ago when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today, it's called golf. http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f180/Jonzjob/?start=all    Report

This is set underground, right next to the pool, the lid being part of the decking, so when people get out, or dive in , the water can go through it to the workings below. I queried this with the local installer (it was in when we brought, so not the company that installed the pool), and they said it was fine/normal, although if it REALLY rains, and the pool over flows, guess where it goes!!!??    Report

No idea where you can get it from - RS maybe?  We used to use it in the mob on aircraft circuitry to protect from the elements without taking away any functionality from the items protected..........we also used it on our boots - gives a mirror 'bulled' shine with minimum effort..........
