Section II. Replacing light fixture in existing pool

This underwater light must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool
serviceman in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and
ordinances. Improper installation will create an electrical hazard which could result in death or serious
injury to pool users, installers or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage to
property.
Always disconnect the power to the pool light at the circuit breaker before servicing the light. Failure to
do so could result in death or serious injury to serviceman, pool users or others due to electrical shock.
A. Before replacing the light fixture.
1. Verify that the pool meets the requirements of the current National Electrical Code and all local codes and
ordinances. A licensed or certified electrician must install the electrical system to meet or exceed those
requirements before the underwater light is installed.
2. To be certain that the pool's electrical system meets all applicable requirements, the electrician should also
consult the local building department.
3. Use only Pentair Water Pool and Spa
corrosion.
4. The connection box or Junction Box must be rated IP54 minimum. The terminal block shall conform to
EN 60998-2-1 and/or EN 60998-2-2 and should be rated for 2.5mm
B. Replacing light fixture after electrical system requirements are met.
Failure to bring the pool's electrical system up to code requirements before installing the underwater light will create an
electrical hazard which could result in death or serious injury to pool users, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and
may also cause damage to property.
1. Turn off main electrical switch or circuit breaker, as well as the switch which operates the underwater light
itself.
2. To remove light assembly, remove the special pilot screw at top of face ring, remove light assembly from
niche, and place assembly on deck.
Be sure to keep the special pilot screw from this underwater light. This screw mounts and electrically grounds the housing
securely to the mounting ring and wet niche. Failure to use the screw provided could create an electrical hazard which could
result in death or serious injury to pool users, installers or others due to electrical shock.
3. Remove Junction Box cover, disconnect the light fixture wires, and pull the cord through the conduit.
4. Feed the new light fixture cord through the conduit from the niche to the Junction Box.
Depending on the length of the conduit, special tools may be required to pull the cord through the conduit.
5. Leave at least 4 feet (1,20m) of cord to coil around the light fixture; see Figure 1. This 4 feet (1,20m) of cord
coiled around the light allows the light to be serviced after the pool is filled with water.
6. Cut the cord at the Junction Box, leaving at least 6 inches (15cm) of cord to make connections.
