Pool Light Repair: Fix a Pool Light Leak

If your pool light fixture is leaking water, you may be postponing your summer plans.  Pool lights commonly get cracks around the connector ports which can be the source of losing water level. While you may consider getting a new pool light, there are more affordable solutions available to you. 

Before investing in a replacement, consider using E/Fusing 900 Silicone Putty to repair the crack in no time. Users will save money and receive a reliable, quick resolve to their pool leak. In this article, we’re going to break down everything you need to know about how to fix your pool light with putty. 

The Benefits of E/Fusing 900 Silicone Putty 

• Easily moldable: The material is highly malleable so you can bend, mold, and shape it to your desired surface. The pool putty is resilient and will maintain its form even in harsh conditions. 

• Safe for electrical use and strong insulation: The putty is entirely safe for electrical use making it a great option for pool light replacement. Contrary to other pool types, silicone putty provides superior insulation in the water. The flexible material can fit smoothly into small cracks and crevices. 

• Fixes leaks: If there is leaking, consider mending the area with putty before getting a new light. E/Fusing 900 Silicone Putty is strong enough to fix leaks for good and restore peace of mind in seconds. 

• Cost Effective: A new light fixture costs anywhere from $100-$300. However our putty costs less than $20.

The Unique Feature of E/Fusing 900 Silicone Putty For Pool Light Replacement 

• Easily Removable: If you decide to remove your pool putty it will come off easily without harming or irritating the pool surface. 

• Waterproof: E/Fusing 900 Silicone Putty is entirely water resistant which allows the material to maintain integrity over long periods of time. The durable design won’t disintegrate or cause problems until you are ready for removal. 

• Easy to shape: Simply massage the putty into your hands to loosen the material and shape it to your desired form. Pool putty is able to seal small cracks and crevices that tape alone can’t reach.

• Does not absorb water and guarantees tight insulation: Putty will not absorb water so no water can get through to the other side of your plug. Firmly press the putty into the leak point to ensure strong, tight insulation that doesn’t budge. 

• Does not harden or crack: Putty will never harden and will always stay pliable, but will not harden or crack over time. Pool putty is a great option for repairing the light because of its longevity both in and out of water for long periods. 

How to Use Putty for a Water Leak in Your Pool Light Fixture

1. Massage E/Fusing 900 Silicone Putty in your hands to soften slightly prior to use. 
2. Remove the outer face of the pool light to reveal the inner wire. 
3. Locate the back conduit that connects the pool light wire to the inside concrete of the pool. 
4. Slowly pack the putty into the crack around the wire, or wherever your potential leak may be located. Be sure to pack putty all the way around wire to seal the entire area. Add more layers if needed.
5. Move the face of the pool light back into position and you’re all set!
