HOUSING INSTALLATION
Housing Installation – see Diagram 1
1 Aqua-Star Housing should be tied to the steel reinforcing,
before concreting the pool. A red Concrete Cap is supplied
to fit inside the front of the Housing prior to concreting.
2The Housing has two conduit connection points to
accept rigid PVC conduit, do not use flexible conduit.
Choose the appropriate provision for the situation and run
conduit above water level to form an anti-siphon loop. Top
provision accepts 20mm conduit or 25mm conduit fitting.
Rear provision accepts 20mm coupling. If using the Rear
Provision, be sure to plug the Top Provision using a 25mm
conduit cap.
3Use tie wire or cable ties through the holes on the outer
perimeter of the Housing to securely fasten it to the steel
reinforcing bars. Position the Housing so that the front will
finish level with the concrete.
4It is very important to locate Housing at a suitable location
and depth to allow for future servicing of the pool light.
Excavate sufficiently around the rear of the Housing to allow
approximately 100mm of concrete to encase it. If pool is out
of ground and fully formed, ensure the formwork allows for
concrete to encase the Housing.
5During pouring/spraying, concrete should be undercut
around the front perimeter of the Housing to allow for a
construction adhesive to be applied prior to the application
of the internal pool surface.
6Concrete should be applied to reduce the likelihood of
a void occurring on the underside of the Housing. Once
concrete has cured, construction adhesive must be applied
around the Housing to seal it to the concrete.

DRESS RING INSTALLATION
Adjustable Dress Ring Installation –
After Concreting and Sealing (Diagram 2)
7Remove red-coloured Concrete Cap. Use pvc glue or
construction adhesive to secure the Adjustable Dress
Ring inside the Housing to your required depth and
alignment. If Housing protrudes out from the concrete,
a maximum of 20mm can be cut off from the front. If
the housing has been set back too far in the wall, then
a special extension ring (P/N ASL 076) is available. The
eyeball feature on the Adjustable Dress Ring allows
adjustment so that the Adjustable Dress Ring face can
be aligned flush with the anticipated pool interior finish
even if the Housing is out of alignment. When gluing or
securing the Adjustable Dress Ring, ensure that 2 of the
screw holes are located horizontally.
8The Cable can be drawn through, excess cable must be
coiled up and stored inside Housing.
Important: Allow enough cable to enable pool light to
be floated to pool deck.
9The Adjustable Dress Ring is now in position ready for
the pool interior to be applied. Pool interior should finish
flush with the front face of the Adjustable Dress Ring.

INSTRUCTIONS
1) Unscrew the 2 stainless steel screws, remove stainless
steel trim ring and/or coloured lens if fitted.
2) Float the light to the surface and place on deck.
3) Grip the rear black nut with multi grips or use a
screwdriver through the two holes in the black nut and
¼ turn anticlockwise whilst holding the white body of the
light. This will remove the nut from the body, exposing
the globe.
4) Remove existing globe by gently pulling the top of the
reflector, do not pull on the glass. Replace the globe
using a 12v 50w MR16 Globe, 55-60 degree beam.
Never touch the glass when replacing the globe.
5) Replace and lubricate the nut o-ring. The replacement
and lubrication of this o-ring is necessary any time the
Aqua-Star light is disassembled. Only use silicone based
lubricants.
6) If ceramic lamp holder is damaged or corroded, then it
should be removed using long nosed pliers. The male
spades of the new ceramic lamp holder will push into
the female spades. Replacement ceramic lamp holders
are available in kit form.
7) To re-insert nut into body. Place light body onto folded
towel on ground with clear diffuser facing down. Align
the mark on the nut with the alignment mark on the
body, firmly push nut into body and ¼ turn clockwise.
8) Excess cable can be loosely wrapped around the body
and/or inserted into the rear of the housing.
9) Remount the light (and coloured lens and stainless steel
trim ring if fitted) to the dress ring using the 2 stainless
screws. Fully submerge before operating.
