Above Ground pool light

[jimmyzshack]

moved the light to the middle wall (15x30 pool) it made a big difference so i guess i can live with just one light

I have the nitelighter 35 watt on my 24' ag pool and am going to get another one probably the 50 watt one. 35 watt only lights qaurter of the pool. They are very simple to install too just pull top rail and tighten 2 screws. I have a dedicated circuit for my lights also.

Aqualuminator - lights up whole pool 30 foot round.
I's like to get one of teh LED ones, just for color choices

[jimmyzshack]

yea i saw the LED one wonder how bright it is. It cost some $$$

We have our wiring to do soon.... we plan on having the pump/filter on it's own circuit (gfci) and we have a circuit by itself w/ a ready "dangling" wire under the house. Can we run it for the aqualuminator and also use that circuit for an outlet or two on the deck? If we use the light at night and NOT the extra outlets, what's the problem w/ that? Or do you have to have one circuit to the pump....one to the light and a 3rd one to aux' outlets???????????

I have an aqualuminator, and it is plugged into 110. I have an 18' pool and it lights it up quite nicely. My only complaints on it are that you have to purchase another fitting from them to get the thing compatible with anything else. Meaning PVC, I have a valve that I had on my old jet, and the valve went right on it. Now it is on the other end of the hose backwards in the Nature2. I would much rather it was up at the jet, I will get the fitting later...
The other thing is that the fountain attachment also has to come from them, I want one of those to, but again I will purchase one later. I will put up some night pics of the pool in the above ground pool gallery tonight if I get around to it.

hey thanks sevver..........the fountain now is a freebie when you order the light. I paid $99 for both plus shipping. I was concerned about the lighting, however now that I have been told by you and a friend that a 110 is ok.......we're good to go. I plan on putting in the return hole as stated, I don't think we'll need PVC do you? My friends have an esther w also, and the return hose fits right to the light?????

The hose fit to the light, although it was a bit small for the hose for my tastes. It tightened down ok though and no leaks so far.

Yes, 110V, I can run it with the pump off one GFCI no issues.
The fitting is about 1/64th smaller than typical, I put a shutoff directly on it by scarring it up really good and using a ton of glue - no leaks 3 yrs later, so it must have worked well.
I'm still looking into the LED version of it but it's expensive - if possible, I'd like to get that or retrofit my own - I've got a lot of experience with LED's, so setting that up should be relatively simple.
Guess I'll just wait til the bulb blows, then i have a csing to play with....
