Aqua Lamp - mounting replacement

[IanPotts]

All,

I was wondering if anyone had experienced this issue with the Aqua Lamp system. When I was opening the pool and I was brushing down the sides I snapped off one of the mounting pins from the ring that is attached to the wall.
Here is a photo of one of the rings with the pins attached, (circled)

Do you know if I need to drain the pool below the light before I replace this ring or will the water pressure be enough to hold the liner against the wall

Thank You
Ian

You never want to remove any faceplate in a vinyl pool while water is above it. Water will get behind the liner.

Thank You for the response. Once I have drained the pool below the fixture do I need to worry about the liner slipping down when I take this face plate off ?

If you don't remove it from the track above, it shouldn't. Be sure to use a new gasket.
