Hello All, I just bought a house with a pool and have been slowly learning how to care for it. I have the water chemistry on point and its crystal clear.
My issue is with the pool light. I have not been able to get it to work yet (only been in the house 2 months).
From my hunting, it has a 300watt transformer. It is getting power to it, but not sending power on to the light. So that is probably bad and needs to be replaced. Also the GFCI outlet is not working as it should. I believe the wiring is not correct. I just replaced the outlet and wired it up exactly as it was wired. The small LED light on the GFCI outlet does not light up green like it should.
The Top Left timer controls the pool light. The middle breaker is labeled Pool Light, the lower breaker is Labeled Outlet.
Before i purchase a new transformer, i want to figure out why the GFCI isn’t working correctly And see if that could be playing a part in the light not working.
Looking at the attached photo the pool light breaker is on #1 of the timer, #2 goes to the transformer.
The outlet breaker and the GFCI outlet are both connected to #3 on the timer. That i think is where my issue is and i do not know how it is suppose to be properly wired.
I would think that the GFCI outlet should be between the breaker and timer, not with it. Any help is much appreciated
Thanks,
