Pool Light Not Working in La Mesa, CA
Pool Light Not Working is one of the more common calls we get from La Mesa homeowners. A dark pool light is usually a burned-out bulb, a tripped GFCI, or a failed transformer, and occasionally a conduit leak. La Mesa runs on Helix Water District at 16-20 gpg, which is very hard water. Around here that means scale-worn equipment and hillside drainage stress on aging shells, and it shows up in problems exactly like this one. Call and we will connect you with a La Mesa pool pro who finds the real cause, not a guess.
