10. Turn the pool pump back on and allow the water to circulate for several minutes.

Tips:

- When removing the old pop-up head, be careful not to drop it into the pool. If you do drop it, you will need to retrieve it before you can install the new one.

- When installing the new pop-up head, take care not to over-tighten the screws or coupling. This could damage the pop-up head or the pipe.

- If you are having difficulty installing the new pop-up head, you may need to hire a qualified pool contractor to help you.
