Most pools I have seen were wired with romex sleeved in carflex

Code issues aside, it's hard enough to get THHN in carflex, let alone romex.

LMAO. That is about as explicit as it gets.

It has been my experience and understanding that when wiring pools, you need to have an insulated grounding conductor from the main load center or sub-panel(provided that the sub-panel is fed with raceway, with an insulated grounding conductor. I normally put the rain-tight timeclock panels o/s by Intermatic. The bonding conductor for the inside of a forming shell of the wet-nich fixture for the pool must be an insulated #8 Cu, and can be solid OR stranded. The bonding conductor for the o/s of the forming shell must be a solid #8 Cu conductor. Both of the must be protected from corrosion from the elements by an approved and listed epoxy or potting kit.:smile:

That is correct for a 120v pool light. An above ground pool with out a pool light or with just a low voltage pool light is not nearly as elaborate.
