Pool Light Not Working in Spring Valley, CA
A Spring Valley pool showing a pool light that stopped working usually has a short list of likely causes. A dark pool light is usually a burned-out bulb, a tripped GFCI, or a failed transformer, and occasionally a conduit leak. Spring Valley runs on Otay Water District at 14-16 gpg, which is very hard water. Around here that means hard water accelerating equipment failure and plaster wear in older East County pools, and it shows up in problems exactly like this one. A specialist in the Refresh Pool Pros network can diagnose it on site in Spring Valley and quote the fix in writing before any work starts.
