I noticed DE was being put back in the pool. I backflushed, cleaned the grids, put in DE, and noticed the pressure didnt really go up while adding the DE. Also noticed a little bit of DE in the pool again the next time the filter came on. I was also seeing it in my S200. I took the filter...

wow, lot of feedback after I ready patched the cable and put the light back in the pool. lol Re: replacing the light, thats what I originally going to do, but I'd thought I'd try the patch first. Its still on my list of things to do, but I dont feel like going into the pool to completely...

Just an FYI, I did an acid wash and it kinda worked. It removed maybe 90% of the actual stains on the first attempt, but then I could see that a big part of what was bothering me wasn't staining but maybe missing plaster, and the gradation from different thicknesses of plaster. Since its...

You know what, I think I will do that. I still dont know if it even works with the new bulb. I can always change it out later if I find I use the light more that I thought I would.
