My light burned out in my pool,too. Changing it is simple: 1. Turn the electric power off to your pool light by switching off the power at the breaker. 2. There is 1 screw holding the light fixture in a frame. Unscrew this screw--be careful not to drop it into the water. 3. Take a flat-blade screwdriver and work the light fixture loose from the fixture--it may have developed a vacuum behind the light that you'll have to break before it'll come out. 4. The light can be brought up to the deck because there will be 4-6 feet of wire rolled up behind the light. 5. My fixture has a retaining ring that holds everything together; uncrew the ring that holds the ring tight, then remove the ring. The front lens, the reflector cup and the fixture containing the bulb will all come apart. Be sure you pay attention to how these parts go together so you'll be able to re assemble them when you're ready. 6. My bulb is screws into the base of the fixture just like a regular light bulb, however there ia wire "basket" device that helps hold it in place. Carefully unsccrew your bulb. The base may well break off, so be prepared to remove it with needlenose pliers if necessary. 7. Replace the bulb--if a Halogen bulb USE PAPER TO HANDLE THE BULB--OIL FROM YOUR FINGERS WILL HAVE A DESTRUCTIVE EFFECT ON THE NEW BULB!!!!-- 8. Reverse these steps by reconstructing your fixture, roll up the wire, be sure to affix the fixture correctly on the ring that holds it in place, screw it back into place and turn on the power--before trying it to see if it works.
As for your stain; ;pool supply places sell ascorbic acid granules as a "stain remover" They work great! Turn off your pump for 24 hours. Put a coffee cup full of the granules into your pool and let the water stand for 24 hours. Your pool walls should be crystal clean and clear. Then, shock the pool with a pound of Chlorine--for good measure and turn your pumps back on. Enjoy
