Another electrical question

Anything over 8/12 and the angle pulls granules off with ease so it always seems to be in worse condition than it probably is.

As already posted you need to measure the voltage using the neutral.

[Hotchef181818]

So untwist whites ? Black lead to white ? Red lead to ?

I would start with checking the voltage of each of the leads to neutral (white) with the switches off and on.

So un twist the whites, then black lead(meter) to white wire and then the red lead(meter) to each screw on the switches power on and off correct ? Am I looking for anything specific? Or should I just write all of the readings down and report back ?

Yes

You don't need to untwist the white, just remove the wire nut. You might be able to push the test lead into the wire nut and not have to remove it. Just write down the voltages and report back.

It's really hard to get pictures in this area while holding the meter, alligator clip is on its way tomorrow to make this easier. Should've ordered one to start with.

If I am looking at it right and what you describe is correct the pool light will only work when the spa switch is on.

If the original wiring was done correctly, then from the Textbook:
"The protective ground is green or green with yellow stripe.
The neutral is white, the hot (live or active) single phase wires are black , and red in the case of a second active."
