My aluminium handrails are rusting and the paint is peeling, do you have a solution?
Make sure that these handrails are not in a pool with a salt water system and that the water parameters are within the norms. Alkalinity and acidity outside the norm can damage the handrails or the finish. In order to keep them longer, you can sandblast them and repaint them with anti-rust paint.

My suction cups do not stick on my liner. What can I do?
Make sure your liner is smooth without any sand, sticky substance or anything that might prevent the suction cups from adhering well.
-
My stainless steel railing stain or rust, how do I maintain it?
- When adding chlorine products to pool water, do not add in the area of the stainless steel rails (concentrated chlorine and stainless are not compatible).
- Stainless steel rails or hardware goods require periodic maintenance in order to retain their surface brightness. Polishing with a cotton cloth and a Windex-type product restores luster. In the event of discoloration or rust, Bon Ami, Ajax or equivalent, applied with wet cotton cloth works well.
- Stainless steel rails or hardware in an indoor pool environment require maintenance and cleaning more frequently because of trapped chlorine vapors. Regular protective care is essential to keeping indoor rails products bright.

During installation, it is important that the handrail is not pressed deeply into the post, this will weakened it.

Step InnovaLite Section
-
I bought the 9015 Innovalite light but I cannot find how to program colors on it?
You must go on Google Store or Apple Store and download the free Innovalite app.
-
I downloaded the app but I don’t know where to find my light in the program?
You need to go on the upper left corner of the app and click on the three horizontal bars and select it from the “My Device” menu. A connection icon will appear with the name of your light.
-
My phone doesn’t see my light using Wi-Fi?
Our app uses a Bluetooth connection, not Wi-Fi. You must make sure that Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone.
-
I turn on the light and it works well, but my spouse can’t control or even turn off the light from her phone. Is this a defect?
No, the Bluetooth connection is dedicated to only one phone at a time. You need to close the app completely on your phone or turn off the Bluetooth connection from your settings for another phone to be able to connect to it.
-
I don’t get it: I can easily control my light from the other end of my backyard, more than 75’ away, but I can’t control my light when I am sitting in my gazebo right beside my pool. Is there a problem with my Bluetooth connection?
No, the presence of a large water basin with a steel wall reduces the range of the Bluetooth connection. This is normal. Simply elevate the Bluetooth capture device (the small gray box), or put it closer to the gathering spot in your yard.
-
I noticed that my light turns off on its own when I turned it on at the end of the day. Is there a problem?
The Innovalite light is programmed by default to turn off after a 6-hour light cycle. This is a protection against premature wear. The ecological aspect for energy saving is not to be neglected.
-
Does the light need to be installed by en electrician?
No, connection is easy with a standard 120V outlet. The light is equipped with a 25’ long wire.
-
The light cuts at times, and sometimes is turns itself off immediately after being turned on?
Make sure the connections between the wires are tight and that the seal is perfect. Tighten the connections on the wire if necessary. Make sure your 120V wall outlet is functional. Test other instruments on that same wall outlet to see if the problem occurs too. Contact your representative if the problem persists.
-
What is the product warranty?
The warranty is 90 days from the date of purchase, however, a manufacturing defect can be guaranteed longer and a replacement may be offered.
