Answer 2

The other thing you may have to do is clean the inside of the opener since it fell into chlorinated water.  If you open it up and clean it with alcohol it will probably work again.  

Answer 3

Any home improvement stores like Lowe's, Menard's, Home Depot, etc. all sell garage door openers.  You can purchase one at any of these places (they aren't that expensive).  You will have to open the new opener and make sure its settings match the damaged opener or else it will not work.  One of the salespeople at these places could help you, so take the damaged opener with you.  Good Luck!
