Disconnect the fixture at the pool-side junction box and test for a trip. The problem could be in the wires from the GFCI to the box. I had one light with this issue and had to pull new wires, but the fixture was OK.

I would do these steps to troubleshoot the problem: Remove the fixture from the water and open it on the deck. If it's wet at all inside that is your problem, so let it dry out in the sun. Once dry, or if it was already dry, power it up without a lamp. If the GFCI still trips the fixture and/or...

I'm not an electrician, but I have reviewed the NEC and know that's it's not allowed to run a GFCI protected circuit along with non-protected circuits in the same chase (conduit). I've had to replace most of my light fixtures because of degraded cables with high resistance leakage that trips...

I've had my Stenner pump for over 5 years. It's outside and runs all year in sunny So Cal. I wouldn't put it in an enclosed area, like a garage, based on my experience. The first year I ran the pump until the meter tube failed and it pumped out chlorine. I now replace the tube at the start of...

Check for sediment deposits at the injector, the duckbill (if used) and the output line from the pump to the injector. I clean mine every 6 months now and no longer use a duckbill. My pump tubes last about 18 months, so I now replace it at the start of summer. I also added a Stenner AK600 flow...

Check the pump's label, it should list the rate and you can find the correct tube P/N from that.

All the actuators I've seen have a small 3-position toggle switch that sets normal action, off, and reverse action. Perhaps one of your switches is set incorrectly.

You could have a leak on the suction side from a cracked hose or fitting. If you have a duckbill check valve, it could be plugged. If you've never changed your black hoses in 6 years you could have sufficient sediment deposits to plug the line. Depending on how you attached the injector, you...

My Stenner self primes. I have a flow meter on the suction side and can see liquid flow after a few minutes. I think you should look for a leak on the suction side tubing and fittings. If you have a duck-bill check valve it may be installed backwards. Good luck.

It looks like my pool light junction box except mine (20+ years old) has a brass base. The jacketed cable looks like it's from the pool light. Do a web search for: pool light junction box code The code requires the box to be at least 4" above grade & 8" above the maximum water line. Looks like...

Get some 5/16" or larger nylon braded rope at your hardware store. If you've never done this before there are some videos on YouTube that will help. Look for something like "pull wire in conduit." Good luck!

Most likely there is a conduit that runs from the remote directly to your Jandy outside control panel. The spa remote connects to pins 9 to 14 of the smaller header. To replace it first turn off the circuit breaker for your Jandy. Disconnect the remote's wires from the header and attach a pull...

I got a ProTuff 19" pool rake from Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KCXXVPQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It works great and they really do give you a free replacement if it fails. Check out the reviews.

I got a new Intellicom 2 on ebay for about $100 two years ago and use it with my 20+ year old Jandy automation system. Works great! You would also need a small power supply to run it and a place to keep it dry.

If it's a natural gas unit you may need a bigger meter or a larger feed line from the meter to the heater.

What’s the range of useful life for a gas pool heater? What are the usual reasons they are replaced? I'm in sunny SoCal so it's hardly used and enclosure rust-out isn't an issue.

You should test it. Push the red button, the GFCI should trip, the light should go out.

I had the same problem with my 4 pool lights. They are switched separately (pool, wading pool, spa, fountain) and when they were all on the GFCI tripped. I replaced the GFCI but that didn’t help. Next I measured the resistance of each light’s leakage to ground and found the problems. It turns...

I have a very old Jandy Ji8000, also with an outside power controller, inside control panel and a spa switch placed just above the water line. I've had similar problems to yours and found that the 4-button spa switch was my problem. You can disconnect it at the power controller and if that fixes...

The NEC 2014 Section 680 now allows listed low voltage luminaries, in conjunction with listed transformers or supplies, to be located less than 5 feet from the inside edge of the pool. So at some point in the future 12V LED rope lighting might be available, but good luck finding listed...
