In ground pool with spa
At the root of my current problem is a simple question. Is it correct that the POOL LIGHT WIRE (3 WIRES WITHIN) AND THE SPA LIGHT WIRE (3 WIRES WITHIN) travel withing their own separate pvc lines and never come together until they come above ground to a junction box or other power center, etc.????? I ask because I can not locate 2 sets of wires in the Jandy Power center. There is no separate junction box anywhere. As an example, the power 120v (BROWN) wire from the pool light relay goes downward in a 1" pvc at the bottom of the jandy control center but the 3 wires withing the pool light are black, white and green. (I have the LED light cable/wire cut off the failed light fixture containing the 12v transformer to verify the wire colors). Checking continuity from the disconnected 120V output relay brown wire and the black wire that goes into the light pool fixture shows continuity?? so somewhere, that brown wire connects to the pool light black wire???? the pool light cable will not budge when I try to pull it out..
Lastly, I've checked continuity and located the green and white wire in the control box that intimately go the pool light but there is NO smaller gauge black wire entering the jandy box from any of the 1" or 3/4" PVC exiting the ground and attached to the jandy control center?? Shouldn't I have the white black and green wires of the spa and pool exiting somewhere that, if unattached, should pool the fixtures out into the spa or pull. ( recognizing that sometimes they are not easily puled) Both LED lights were retrofitted approx 4 years ago but the installer pool outfit is now out of business.
I know this may sound silly, but tomorrow, I'm going to take my shop vac and blow air down all the PVC's and see where I get bubbles. neither the spa or pool have any sealer material in the niches where the cables exit to the lights.
