How do you clean sand colored pebble tech on the coping aarea?
A 10-20% solution of muriatic acid and bristle brush will clean the pebble tech. Be careful, the acid will burn if it comes in contact with skin or eyes. By 10% I mean 1 part acid to 9 parts cold water. Always add acid to water not water to acid due to unwanted thermal reaction.
What can you do if your pool has pink-purple algae and you have shocked it 3 times and used an algae killer but it keeps coming back?

How do you remove the light bulb from the underwater light?
You need to remove the screw that holds the light ring and pull the whole light fixture out of the water and up onto the deck. There should be enough wire wrapped around the back of the light to allow this. Remove the lens, replace the bulb, and reinstall the lens with a new gasket, being careful not to get any water inside the fixture. Wrap the excess wire around the back of the light fixture and replace it in the niche, securing it with the screw. A. I would add: You need to test the GFCI, the wiring of the whole fixture - continuity test. If this is a fairly old fixture - my decision would be to replace the entire assmebly with a new one. If you have no GFCI then would be critical that you add one. And lastly but not least, you should have a pool tech service the light. He will know what to look for and how to correct any situation with your light. If there is something wrong with your light assy. and you do not find it by testing you put yourself and anyone who uses the pool in a great deal of danger if the light should malfunction. The codes specify that anytime you work on a pool light you then need to bring that product to current code. That also includes the main drain grate. Yes if you or a pool tech works on any portion of the pool for repairs the code demands that the main drain be brought to current code requirements. So it is not only a matter of just changing the light bulb and gasket.

Will it hurt the pebble tech finish if the pool is drained for 3 or more months?
It shouldn't after all the top of the pebble tech pool is out of the water forever and it doesn't seem to hurt it. However be careful that you don't get a build up of ground water around the outside of the pool, This can cause an empty pool to start floating and that will definitely hurt it. If you have a hydro static valve at the bottom that works it should be ok.

I have a pebble tec pool and the people living here before we bought it didnt take care of it and theres white crap all over the pool and my guess its calcium any ideas how to get it off myself?
If it is under water, it is most likely a build up of alkalinity. An acid wash will be necessary to remove it. Pebble Tec does not recommend an acid wash because there is the potential for loosening the pebbles. But there is no other alternative except replacing the Pebble Tec. Shop around for a person that is experienced with acid washing Pebble Tec. Maybe ask your friends or a pool store for recommendations. If tech is careful, your pool should be fine. If you have a white line around the top of the water (either on tile or the Pebble Tec itself), that will be a calcium buildup. Pebble Tec recommends professional cleaning with magneseium sulfate (brand name MaxxStrip). They do not endorse using glass beads.
How often should a pool require an acid wash?
I believe if you check with pebble tech they will say never.
