Hi,
I'm having some issues with our pool lights hope to get some info as to what might be going on here. The other day I found out that whenever I get close to both of the lights within a few inches, I felt minor shock. This happens only when the pump is running and even when there is no power to lights. It's normal when the pump is off. Not sure if it is related to a lightning strike we had a few months back that took out one light.
I opened the deck sw jbox and did not see the extra insulated #8 green wire coming from the conduit ( as discussed in some other threads) so light niche is not bonded with jbox. Would this be the problems? Or I might have a broken bond underground that is causing this when pump is running and any ideas on how to to detect that?
Thanks in advance for any info.
Cheers!
Doug
