My pool is 148ft in circumference and I ordered 148ft long pool light strips. Why is there a small gap after installation?
There are 3 reasons why this can happen.
- The pool dimensions provided by the customer are incorrect.
The customer calculated the circumference of the pool based on the pool design drawings. And there is an error between the actual circumference of the pool and the design drawing. If your pool is not built yet in the design drawing stage, please increase the length of the ordered pool light strip appropriately. For example, the size of the design drawings for 100ft pool, the actual length of the pool light tape order for 103ft, increase the margin of 3%. Our light strip can be cut, customers can adjust the length of the light strip after installation according to the actual size of the pool.
- Wrong measurement method
For curved pools and shaped pools, there will be some errors even if the customer has made field measurements. In this case, we suggest customers to increase the length of the light strip.
- Failure to maintain a straight line between mounting clips or profiles. Please make sure that all the mounting buckles and profiles are installed in the same straight line, otherwise it will increase the actual installation length of the strip. Customers can appropriately increase the length of pool light strips ordered, our pool light strips support cutting.
