First question I have is I thought I had a bulb out in my spa...it never worked last year but the pool light did...well recently the pool light went out as well so first thing I checked with the electrical reset which had been tripped...the pool light now works again but the spa light is no good..well i drained the spa and replaced the bulb which i think i did correctly....i guess it is ok for water to get behind the light? it was wet back there...i saw inside the light it seems to be sealed by some sort of gel...well anyway i replaced the bulb which appeared to still be ok, resealed everything and still it doesnt work....any other tricks? Wonder if this is covered under my home/pool warranty? It is not that big of a deal but does bother me and now I am worried about getting shocked when the light is on....
Second question is who makes a good citric acid? I have a pin oak tree in my back yard that is staining my skimmer baskets, pool outlets etc...even my new cleaner is stained a light brown....pool guy says its the leaves from the tree...
he said i could buy some stuff at leslies that would clear it up but eventually it would come back...he said to take the chlorine level down to zero, dump in about 45 ozs of this stuff and let it run for two weeks?
What is he talking about and is there anything else to do? He said pin oaks are about the worst tree to have around to have a pool also...btw I am in the houston area
Lastly my plaster is looking real rough and feels like sand paper....when i drained the spa i took some pics of it...it looks pitted..is this the result of bad pool chemistry by the previous owner? what is the fix?
