The Pentair concrete pool light niche says inside fresh water only. Will this work with salt water or will it corrode the grounding lug inside?
Reply
Hello Jeff - This niche can be used in a salt water pool.

Best way to seal out the water from entering the conduit since the whole niche will be full of water

Hi, You will need to used a Cord Stopper, depending on the size conduit hole and voltage of power you have.

My gunite pool is older. (~30yrs) Would I need to replace the current niches? How are the Pentair niches for retro fitting the older pools?

You wouldn't necessarily have to change out the niches. I would get the dimensions (diameter and depth) first to see if the fixture that you are wanting to go with will fit your existing niche.

My 7 yrs old Pentair Amerilite White is leaking water from the pool light housing. Do I need to replace niche and light?
Reply
Hello BS- No, you would only need to replace the light fixture itself. These lights are water cooled so there will always be water behind the light.

I'm replacing my niche in my gunite pool; because there's a leak behind it. I updated my light but never changed the niche, and the old one was to big and the light just sort of hung on. I'm looking to put the right niche in; how do I remove the old one.
Reply
Hi, Ed. To remove the old niche, you will have to chisel away the plaster around it. Then install the new niche using the instructions provided in the Large Plastic Niche Installation Procedures.

I just bought a older home,
It had a Hayward 12v light in the pool, when I took it out to replace bulb I noticed there’s no nitch it was screwed into the (I believe what should hold the nitch.) Do I need... a nitch and if so how do I figure out which type?
Reply
Yes, you should have a niche for proper installation of the light fixture. It is best to install the same manufacturer niche with pool light fixture for compatibility. Please contact our office with more details of the model or series of the pool light fixture, the diameter, and depth of the hole the niche will be installed to. https://secure.inyopools.com/Support/SupportRequest.aspx
