    GFCI outlet for pool lights keeps tripping

    LED lights will live happily on a gfci. A gfci is not overcurrent, but measures power coming in and compares it to power returning. If less power returns, it will trip. I would check to make sure all your neutral (white) wires going to the light are connected to the load side of your deadfront gfci.

    There is a leakage to ground. GFCIs measure the amount of power goong out and compare it to the amount coming back. If there is a difference, it will trip.

    Adding SWG to Intelliflow

    I just finished my pool build, 9000 gallons with an intelliflow VSP. I am interested in adding a salt water chlorine generator, but feel I need to go Pentair to integrate it with my pump.
