Light bulbs do not last forever. However, call a qualified pool service tech to trouble shoot the system since you do not want to mess with water and electricity. There are certain things he will be looking for and testing for and you do not have those qualifications or tools. Turn off the power to the light until it is serviced. Let the tech turn the power back on after he is finished.

How do you troubleshoot a pool light if a new replacement bulb does not light?

We had a problem,year after year with every bulb we had replaced. My pool contractor would check the electrical current in the switch, in the connections under the plate in the deck, and in the fuse box. He would also check for a current in the bulb everytime. No problem would show up each time but the bulb would never stay lit for more than 30 seconds everytime it was replaced. It took me five years to get him to remove the light and low and behold, the contacts were rusted. Hope this helps. Lori

What would cause a pool to stay green and foggy?

Algae will develop in untreated water turning the water green and or foggy. If it is a swimming pool, and you don't mind, it can be treated with chemicals that you can get at the big box hardware stores or a pool supply place. If the pool is for fish you can use a biological filter and pump system.


If you have just leased a home and cannot find the switch to turn on the pool light how can you trace it?

Pool lightCall the company or person that leased you the property and ask them where the switch is to the pool light. If they don't know; often a pool light is turned on by a breaker in the panel marked "pool light." A breaker is an overcurrent protective device, it can not be used to "switch" a light unless it is marked "SWD".
