Hi Jim, it's not on the panel. Pool light is protected by own GFCI and also by a power plug that is wired before it that has own GFCI. Landscape lights feed off a plug with GFCI, and another plug also has GFCI. Like so: The owner of the pool company showed up yesterday. I asked him to check...

Jim, The crazy thing is that the system was in fact installed by a qualified electrician who specializes in automation system installs. He was recommended by my pool equipment company. I will go back to him and ask to check this again. As far as GFCI protection goes, multiple components are...

Hi Jim, No worries, I'd rather know about and fix the problems now... so do tell. Here is what I am getting when I turn off the pump: When I turn the pump back on, here is what I get then: Does this look like I have the issue that you were referring to? Thanks, Victor
