I’m a little confused about how to winterize my two LED lights, or if I even need to do anything. I have two of them on opposite ends of the pool, and they are placed at the same level as the returns.
The instructions with the lights say this with regard to winterization:
I’ve read thru some threads on this forum and I see some people are taking their lights out and placing them on the deck, or sinking them, or doing nothing at all.
I’m going to drain the pool to a level below the returns and lights. To do what the instructions say above, how do I ensure that “all water is drained from the wall fitting and conduit”? Secondly, if there is water in the fitting and conduit, shouldn’t I put some antifreeze in there?
Lastly, if I do what they suggest by removing the lights completely and plugging the fitting, how do I get the wires back thru the conduit in the spring?
The instructions with the lights say this with regard to winterization:
Swimming pools may or may not be drained completely. If not drained completely, the water level should be lowered below the light and make sure that all water is drained from the wall fitting and conduit. Alternatively, the light may be removed completely, the conduit purged of all water, and a 1.5” NPT male plug with thread sealing tape may be used to close the wall fitting.
