Can you change just the light bulb or do you have to replace the entire light every time?
 Reply

A  Answered on 6/6/2006 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

You can change just the bulb assembly. Here is the link to the bulb assembly for the 98600000 BULB ASSEMBLY

Do I need to lower the water level below the inlet to install the fixture?
 Reply

Yes it is recommended that you lower the level of your water down past the light in order to take the full light fixture out.

I'm getting the Intex 18'x9'x 52" above ground rectangular pool. Would the aquailuminator fit the return line for that pool?
 Reply

A  Answered on 7/4/2011 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Unfortunately we would not suggest the Aqualuminator for an Intex pool. If your Intex pool is a soft sided pool then we would suggest this light here http://www.inyopools.com/Products/00100001003799.htm and if it is the Intex Metal Frame pool then we would suggest this light here http://www.inyopools.com/Products/07700015060833.htm

I have a 24' up ground pool, it is about 15 yrs old. Will this light assembly work and also is there a you tube video so that I get a better visual on the setup? Thank you,
 Reply

A  Answered on 6/18/2015 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Hi Ginger, this light would just install into a standard return jet fitting so you should be fine with installing this on an older pool as these jets have not changed. Unfortunately we do not have an installation video for the Aqualuminator, however we do have the AquaLuminator Installation Manual which shows the installation process.

Will this light work with a polygroup summer waves above ground pool? And does it have to be plugged into a GFCI?
 Reply

A  Answered on 5/30/2017 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

We would not suggest this light on the Summer Waves Pool as the metal is too thin to support the weight of the light. The AquaLuminator does need to be plugged into a GFCI.

I have an ancient SeasonMaster pool (obsolete). The hole for the return has a 2 3/8 inch diameter. The pool sides are steel with very very slight vertical corrugation. Could this light work for this pool?

The thru the wall fitting for this light only requires a 2" hole size so it is not a good fit. See the PAL-2L2 light, mfg # 39-2L254W, ( 56-330-1460 )
