Have a broken lense cover on my Pentair Amerlight. I'm confident on the basics......Have thrown the breaker, pulled the fixture and replaced the bulb and lense including a new gasket. Retorqued ring on back per instructions. Ready to reinsert into niche in wall.
Next the plan is to throw the breaker again to cut power, reinstall the fixture in the niche using the same speciality screw in the 12 noon position while winding the excess cable around the back of the fixture.
This is where I get nervous. With noone in the pool I have no problem throwing the breaker back on....and I assume the light will work. What about testing the water to make sure there is no electrical hazard after the work is done? I know the pool was safe before so the niche was most likely installed and grounded correctly......but this is eating at me.
Do you just let the kids back in the water......I'm thinking "no way". Am I paranoid? How could I check and make sure the pool is safe?
