Installing a Magnetic Pool Light in Minutes
A magnetic pool light is a simple way to add color and visibility to your pool, but the installation method depends on the type of pool wall you have. In this tutorial, The Great Escape shows you how to install the batteries, create a watertight seal, and properly mount the light on either a steel-wall or aluminum-wall pool.
Key Takeaways:
Install the batteries according to the markings inside the light, then align the arrows when reassembling it to create a secure, watertight seal.
Steel-wall pools allow the built-in magnet to attach directly through the liner to the steel wall behind it.
Aluminum-wall pools require the included mounting plate positioned on the outside of the pool wall.
Step-by-Step Process:
Turn the light counterclockwise to open the battery compartment.
Insert the batteries according to the markings inside the light.
Reassemble the light by turning it clockwise.
As you tighten it, make sure the alignment arrows line up to create a secure, watertight seal.
For a steel-wall pool, submerge the light and position it against the pool liner. The built-in magnet will attach to the steel wall behind the liner.
For an aluminum-wall pool, place the included mounting plate on the outside of the pool wall where you want the light installed.
Position the light on the inside of the pool at the same location as the mounting plate.
Use the remote to adjust the light settings and colors.
Your magnetic pool light is now installed and ready for use.
Resources & Explanations:
Magnetic Pool Light — Provides underwater lighting and uses a built-in magnet for installation on compatible pool walls.
Alignment Arrows — Must line up when reassembling the light to help create a secure, watertight seal.
Mounting Plate — Used with aluminum-wall pools because the light cannot attach directly to the wall in the same way it does with steel.
Remote Control — Lets you change the light settings and colors once the light is installed.
FAQs:
Q1: How do I install the light on a steel-wall pool?
A: Submerge the light and place it against the pool liner. The built-in magnet will attach the light to the steel wall behind the liner.
Q2: What if my pool has aluminum walls?
A: Use the included mounting plate. Position it on the outside of the pool wall, then place the light on the inside at the same location.
Q3: Why do the alignment arrows matter?
A: The arrows should line up when the light is tightened so the housing forms a secure, watertight seal.
Once installed, your magnetic pool light is ready to add extra color and brightness to your pool. If you have questions about your magnetic pool light or other pool accessories, contact your local Great Escape team. We’re always happy to help!
