4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to install the Aqualine Pool Light Wedge Part 132:
- Turn Off Power: Locate the circuit breaker for your pool light and turn it OFF. Confirm that the light is completely off before proceeding.
- Remove Pool Light Fixture: Carefully remove the existing pool light fixture from its niche. This usually involves unscrewing a single screw at the top or bottom of the fixture. Gently pull the light out, allowing enough cable slack to work on the deck.
- Inspect Niche Tabs: Examine the niche tabs within the pool light housing. Identify any tabs that are broken, stripped, or no longer provide a secure hold for the light fixture.
- Position the Wedge: Place the Aqualine Pool Light Wedge into the niche where the tab is damaged. The wedge is designed to fill the gap and provide a new, secure point for the light fixture's screw. Ensure the wedge is oriented correctly to align with the screw hole on the light fixture.
- Re-install Light Fixture: Carefully guide the pool light fixture back into its niche. Align the screw hole on the fixture with the positioned wedge.
- Secure the Fixture: Insert the light fixture's screw through the designated hole and into the Aqualine Pool Light Wedge. Tighten the screw until the light fixture is firmly seated and secure within the niche. Do not overtighten.
- Restore Power: Once the light fixture is securely installed, return to the circuit breaker and turn the power ON. Test the pool light to ensure proper function.
5. Operating Instructions
The Aqualine Pool Light Wedge Part 132 is a passive repair component. Once correctly installed, it functions by providing a stable anchor point for your pool light fixture. No further operational steps are required for the wedge itself.
6. Maintenance
The Aqualine Pool Light Wedge is constructed from corrosion-resistant material, minimizing the need for specific maintenance. However, regular pool maintenance practices are recommended:
- Periodic Inspection: During routine pool maintenance, visually inspect the light fixture and its seating to ensure it remains secure.
- Cleaning: If necessary, gently clean the wedge area with a soft brush to remove any debris or mineral buildup. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues after installing the Aqualine Pool Light Wedge:
- Light Fixture Not Secure: If the light fixture still feels loose, ensure the wedge is properly seated and the screw is adequately tightened. If the original niche damage is extensive, additional wedges may be required to achieve a firm fit.
- Difficulty Installing: If the wedge does not fit easily, re-check the orientation and ensure no obstructions are present in the niche. Do not force the wedge, as this could cause further damage.
