    It is sensing a ground fault condition somewhere and is doing what it is designed to do.

    Is it installed in a waterproof cover?

    Provide complete details regarding the type of pool (inground or above ground), location of GFCI device, whether it is on its own circuit, and exactly what it is controlling.
