Look no further! In this Poolside Repair web series, we, Matt and Rob, pool enthusiasts, meet up with real pool owners to troubleshoot, repair, or install anything pool-related. Today, we'll guide you through the process of replacing your pool light with a LED Pureline PureColors light. Step 1 - Choosing the Right Replacement Light The first step is to select the perfect LED light to fit your pool's niche and cord length. Most incandescent pool lights are around 10.12 inches in diameter, making drop-in replacements like the Pentair Intellibrite, Hayward Colorlogic, and Pureline PureColors ideal options. If you're unsure about the measurements or have any doubts, don't hesitate to reach out to us for assistance. Ensure you measure the distance from the pool light niche to the power source, the rise from the pool light to the power source, and add an additional five to eight feet for future maintenance requirements. Step 2 - Turning Off Power and Cutting the Cable Before removing the old light, it's crucial to make the light circuit safe. Turn off the breaker for the light, then remove the light from the niche and cut the power cable just behind the light fixture. Step 3 - Preparing the Niche and Conduit To install the new cable, we need to remove the watertight seal that attaches it to the niche. If your light's cable was sealed with epoxy, carefully remove it using a needle-nosed plier and a flathead screwdriver. For easier and quicker removal, we hope your light has a rubber cord stopper, which can be reused. In our installation, we're using a cord stopper. Step 4 - Connecting the New and Old Cables To simplify the process, tape the new cable to the old cable before pulling it out. This way, you remove the old cable while simultaneously reinstalling the new light cable. Make sure to use heavy-duty duct tape to secure and intertwine the two cables together. >>> See More Guide How To Fix The LED Light Strip Like a Pro at https://bestledlightstripsblls.blogspot.com/2023/08/guide-how-to-fix-led-light-strip-like.html Step 5 - Pulling the Old Cable Through Now, with a firm grip, start pulling the old cable through the conduit. If you encounter any resistance, apply a spray-on silicon lube for smoother movement. In our installation, the cables came loose, so we used a fish tape to pull the new cable. Remember to leave five to eight feet of cable on the fixture end for future maintenance purposes before cutting it. Step 6 - Installing the Light Into the Niche With the cable in place, screw in the lock screw to secure the light into the niche. Step 7 - Wiring Your LED Pool Light Wiring the LED light should be similar to your previous light, but it's always wise to follow the instructions provided in the owner's manual for safety. Ensure a proper and secure connection. Step 8 - Enjoy Your New Light Congratulations! You've successfully installed your new LED pool light. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the beautiful underwater ambiance it creates. Thank you for joining us on this Poolside Repair episode.

Inground Pool Light Leak Repair In the quest for a pristine and well-maintained inground pool, the issue of light leaks can pose a significant challenge. Inground swimming pool lights are prone to leakage from the conduit, which is the pipe that carries the light cord from the lamp to the junction box. A pool light conduit is ¾” or 1” gray PVC pipe, running under the deck. The pipe can allow water entry because it lacks sealing where it connects to the light niche. In some cases, water in the conduit may freeze solid, cracking the conduit and start to leak out from the pool. In other cases, the conduit can be cracked during deck placement, or from shifting soils or sliding slabs. >>> See more What Is The Difference Between Rope Lights And LED Strip Lights? at: https://band.us/band/90424574/post/3 Is The Pool Light Leaking? The way to determine a pool light leak is by continuing to operate the pool on main drain only (close or plug the skimmers), and allowing the water level to drop. If the water level seems to stabilize at the level of the light, or more precisely, just a few inches below the top of the light – you may have a conduit leak. To be certain, you can add a few inches of water and shut off the pump, plugging the skimmers, returns and the main drain pipes, and any other pool plumbing lines, with expansion plugs. If an inground gunite pool continues to leak with all the lines plugged tightly and the pump shut off – that means that there is a leak in the pool shell or the pool light. Vinyl liner pools have to rule out leaks in the liner, or anywhere the liner was purposely cut; such as the steps, skimmer, return, drain and pool light. For more advanced leak detection, Anderson Manufacturing makes a Pool Light Tester, allowing you to seal up against the pool wall, and add leak testing dye to watch if it gets sucked out of the conduit. >>> See more Determining the Number of Lights at: https://universeodon.com/@bestledlightstripsblls/111247737244971512 How Low Can You Go? If the water level continues to drop below the halfway point of the light, you may have a conduit leak. However, there is also some other leak somewhere else. A conduit leak will only leak down to the port on the upper back of the light niche, where the conduit connects. Pool Light Niche Leaking? Pool light niches rarely leak. It’s extremely rare for a pool light to be leaking through the shell of the light niche, or around the light niche. 99% of the time a pool light is leaking, water is running out through the light conduit. Vinyl pools, however, have the light niche gasket sealed to the pool wall, which has more leak potential around the niche. Is There Water Inside? If there is water inside the lens of the pool light, which you can usually see from on-deck, that doesn’t mean that the light is leaking, it does mean that the lamp gasket has failed, letting water leak inside and surround the bulb. Correct this potentially hazardous situation, but note that it is not the source of the pool leak. Fixing a Pool Light Conduit Leak Relax, we won’t be digging up the broken light conduit, there are a few ways to seal up the light conduit from inside the pool, where it connects to the back of the light niche. Silicone: With the water level at mid-light or lower, squirt silicone rubber up into the conduit, and around where the light cord enters the port. Clean the areas beforehand, to improve the bond and seal. Pool Putty: Mix up half of the epoxy/resin Pool Putty, and pack it around the (cleaned up) light cord and connection port. Make a cone of putty that seals up against the niche, cord, and port. Fill the pool back up, and allow the light to remain on deck for 24 hours, to allow the putty to dry. Carefully reinstall the light to avoid disturbance to the putty. Light Cord Stopper: For the most permanent solution to a pool light conduit leak, seal up the hole in the light niche with a Light Cord Stopper. Made in two sizes, to fit 3/4″ or 1″ hole, with a hole running through it to allow the light cord to pass through. Just push it in place firmly to keep water from entering the conduit. >>> See more How Long Do LED Pool Lights Last? at: https://www.deviantart.com/ledlightsblls/status-update/How-Long-Do-LED-Pool-988508341
