Lights For Above Ground Pools
Give Your Pool A Whole New Look
Lights for above ground pools have been around for many years.
Every year the quality gets a little better and there are more
models to choose from.
The three basic types of pool lights are
the thru the wall version, the over the wall type and the solar
powered floaters.
The floaters require no installation and provide enough light to
be kind of neat.
The over-the-wall type require minimal installation and produce
high quality light. They do not hook into the pools plumbing
system and do not require a hole in the pool wall.
The thru-the-wall lights are the most popular and usually mount
in the existing return opening of your pool. They take the
place of your pool return fitting. Installation is more
involved and there is always the chance of leaks in the hoses or the
pool wall when you are finished.
This is one of
many versions of my favorite lights for above ground pools. These solar
powered floating lights offer more than enough light for me to enjoy the pool
during the evening hours. There is no installation, no wire, no plumbing
and no electrical use. While these may not be enough light for everybody,
for me they do just fine.
This is the
over-the-wall type of pool light. These are easy to install
and provide more than enough light for an above ground pool. The
Nitelighter for above ground pools is the most popular version of this pool
light. They are easy to install and do not require replacing the return
fitting or any additional plumbing. The light is equipped with a cord that
plugs into any 110 outlet.
I have
used these before and they really light up a pool. Over
the years of installing above ground pools I have installed hundreds and most of
my customers seem to love them. Installing one on an existing pool is
fairly easy. Just lower the
water level to below the return line and remove your existing pool return
fitting. Install the Aqua Luminator into the return opening, reattach the
hose and refill the pool. If you have solid plumbing on you
pool be sure and order the PVC adapter. The adapter glues to
the light housing and a 1 1/2" coupler glues to the adapter.
You are now ready to add your 1 1/2" PVC pipe. Add the optional pool fountain for a beautiful illuminated
water show.
Adding a light or two to your above ground pool can make the pool
safer for night time use, adding
deck
lights to your pool area is helpful also. They better
lit your pool area is at night the safer it is, resulting in fewer
accidents.
