How to Install a Pool Light Repair Wedge

Did the niche tab that holds the screw for your pool light break, or did the screw break off inside of it? What about if you stripped the screw in the tab? How do you get the light to stay in the niche?
Well, that's a simple fix with the pool light wedge.
Aqualine makes the best, and we purchase ours here!

What ever did you do to those poor gloves?!? 😅 They’re completely sliced in half!

[@AdamThePally]

How do you guys seal the wiring for the light?

[@thepoolguy]

The wire is installed on the light fixture by the manufacturer. We only run it through the conduit and seal the conduit up. The light itself is sealed.

[@toddgolling5760]

The pool light is also, if wired correctly, to a GFCI circuit. If it even THINKS there will be a chance of shorting, the circuit opens preventing electrocution. The wiring is fished through conduit to a junction box above the water line.

Thank you for this video. I have been trying to fixture my two pool lights since I bought my house 28 yrs ago. I just set the lights inside and kept putting them back in every time they floated out. Most of the time they stayed in but your video resolved my issue. Thank you so much.

[@c.bradley9132]

yah..what about when the broken piece is missing/..nothingtowedge to

[@kilwala2242]

Is this a pool in the water park? I always assumed the park could only operate during daylight hours.

[@thepoolguy]

We can operate at night if the lights are working.

[@fattireale75]

I am going to do this underwater. I’m assuming it will still work.

[@rubenponcejr3801]

Got any videos on grates? We have hell with ours.

[@thepoolguy]

Whatcha looking for, maybe I can put something together

[@watomb]

Good video Man I could have used this product when I owned a very old pool

[@PatriotWoman]

THANK YOU!!!!!!! Ours came out and we simply couldn't figure out how to make that damn wedge work!!!!

[@beepbopboop1303]

wallered, gonna be startin', asston

[@bryansoto3723]

Didn’t know you can use on an LED, thanks for this video.

[@thepoolguy]

Any time!

[@noshrinkingviolette]

Old pool lights creep me tf out.

[@JohnDoeRando]

1:05 was hilarious "no"

[@thepoolguy]

Omg.... that NooOoo did have some inference in it didn't it.

[@lesliepaulus3518]

my old pool had a very narrow niche 8.75 in, and can only find 10 inch lights. How would you adapt the 10 inch light to fit the 9 inch niche without having to chisel out the old niche?

[@elliott7869]

Hilarious video and super helpful. Thanks man

[@joebrown9284]

Pentair requires a special pilot screw to insure grounding the housing to the the mounting ring and wet niche. Per Pentair, failure to use the screw could create an electrical Hazard which could result in death or serious injury. Does the use of this repair wedge insure the grounding?

[@thepoolguy]

So that would not be a grounding bar, but a bonding bar. I went back and installed one after I did this video cause I realized it. But its from the niche to the light ring. The ground wire is in the wiring for the light itself, so in terms of pool code, the wire from the ring to the niche is bonding. At least thats how I interpret the code. Nevertheless, we made sure it was there.

[@CravingTheMagic]

I'm sure with those being LED, they'd have to be low voltage anyway at 12v so no one would get hurt or killed. Amperage to the lights I'm sure are low as well.

[@mantaship]

Anybody whose gloves look like this is who I listen to...

[@thepoolguy]

Hey. I appreciate that. Finally had to retire them.

[@MattMaldonado-me8lu]

Great Vid!

[@Cooking101WithMrRobert]

I love your video dude. Very helpful to make a decision on to replace the whole assembly.

[@thepoolguy]

Glad it helped

[@justinmitchell2196]

Thank you sir!!

[@TheHighlyfe420]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you

[@gordonm6128]

man, change that ratchet light out with a pentair 5g and call it a day already and get some new gloves maybe if you are finna film.

[@luckyboots2528]

Why does water get inside the light housing sometimes?

[@jaimemcquillan8144]

This is great! Thank you for explaining how to install this.

[@jacobmoye3210]

Hey👋🏻 great video! How y'all doing today?

[@thepoolguy]

Thank you , hope you are well.... were cold. These Texas boys are cold.

[@cbart1987]

lighting up are lives with a new vid

[@davidquintana6039]

Too bad you don't show how to put which side of the wedge goes into the wall, the round part the flat part?

[@thepoolguy]

Well, it's pulling up against the old screw hole, so the flat part is usually best so it's like a clamp.

[@mandieastwood9923]

What if that bottom tab was also missing, would the wedge still work? Or is there another product to help if the tab is also missing?

[@thepoolguy]

If that's the case, may be best to replace the light entirely. Not much could be done to make it safe

[@robertoramirez9664]

Whats is the name the this adapter?

[@thepoolguy]

Check out the video description, there is an Amazon link to it.
