ATTENTION:
FIBERGLASS & VINYL LINED POOLS
Unlike concrete pools, most fiberglass and vinyl lined pools have
strict warranty guidelines that do not allow the user to deface the
pool wall surface. Diode LED does not recommend mounting to
fiberglass or vinyl pool walls and/or defacing the surface in any way
(ex. drilling into surface to route lead wires). It is recommended
to mount to a separate pool coping or lip to ensure your pool
warranty is not voided. Always consult with your pool supplier and
contractor for proper installation of 3rd party products.
