Ensuring a safe and correct installation of your PENTAIR Spabrite & Aqualight underwater light is crucial. Here are key safety measures to consider:

1. Installation Requirements:

   • Always have a licensed or certified electrician handle the installation, adhering to both the National Electrical Code and local regulations.
   • Before any servicing or work on the light, always cut off power at the circuit breaker.
   • Follow the exact installation procedures detailed in the user manual to prevent electrical risks.

2. Junction Box Wiring:

   • Connect the wires correctly: black to power, white to common, and green to ground, matching them to the circuit wires within the Junction Box.
   • For lights equipped with a 2-conductor cord, attach the black wire to power and the white wire to common.
   • After making the wire connections, make sure the Junction Box cover is securely closed.

3. Replacing Light Fixtures or Lamps:

   • Before replacing any fixture or lamp, confirm your pool's compliance with electrical code standards.
   • Use only Pentair Aquatic Systems wet niches to ensure proper bonding and grounding.
   • When replacing the lamp, disconnect power at the circuit breaker and strictly follow the lamp replacement instructions.
   • When reassembling the light, always install a new lens gasket to prevent water leakage and potential hazards.
