Where to put new light?

[meade]

Jeff, my pool is going to be put up next week. We are looking for the same info. I would be interested to hear the likes/dislikes of this light by those who may already have it........thanks!

Well the light came today and the instructions don't give you much leeway on where to put the light. The light has to be put 12" down from the top and 12" from a vertical stay. 12" down is only a few inches below the water line. I would think it should be deeper.

My next question is should I wait until the pool is almost filled before I cut the liner? I'm guessing it will stretch a little and if I cut the hole ahead of time the liner may wrinkle.

Hi Jeff, the 12" down is important but works out just fine. As for cutting the holes. The new hole in the wall (if you are making one) should be done before the liner goes in the pool. The hole in the liner should wait until the water is just below the opening in the wall.

Best of luck, Dennis
