Troubleshooting Your Pool LightUpdated a month ago
If your pool light isn't functioning properly, we recommend following these initial troubleshooting steps. This guide will help you identify potential issues and determine the best course of action.
Steps to Diagnose the Problem
Check Voltage Output at the Transformer
- Test the voltage output at the transformer.
- If there is minimal or no voltage, it is likely that the transformer needs to be replaced.
Test Cable Charge at the Connection Point
- Measure the voltage where the cable connects to the light and compare the results when the cable is disconnected versus connected:
- 12V disconnected, 12V connected: Indicates an issue with the light itself.
- Significant voltage drop when connected (e.g., 12V disconnected, 3V connected): Suggests a problem with the cable, which may require replacement.
- Zero volts when connected: Points to a likely issue with the transformer.
- Measure the voltage where the cable connects to the light and compare the results when the cable is disconnected versus connected:
Evaluate Voltage at Both Points
- If you confirm adequate voltage at the transformer and cable connection point, the light is likely the cause of the issue.
