The hot tub is only 2 years aged and we have already replaced the stove and pump. It worked fine for 6 months and now every afternoon or every other day it trips the breaker.
Answers: A. Don't procure in the tub until it stops riping the GFI. IS the GFI a 50 amp? What brand of tub is it so I can explain to you if that is correct or not!?
B. Start first by turning past its sell-by date the power(breaker) and unpluging the Ozonator if you have one. Turn the breaker put money on on and see if it trips over time. (#1 cause)
C. Now Turn the power off and disconnect the Blower and after turn it back on and see if it still trips.
D. Keep doing this until everything is unpluged.
E. Once everything is unplugged, you have need of to turn the power back past its sell-by date and then disconnect both lead to your heater. Turn the power final on and I bet it no longer trips if you have gotten this far surrounded by testing. At this point your unsullied heater is desperate and replace it yet again and hope whover did it the first time honors a warranty.
Bad Chemistry can give somebody a lift a heater out within months.
Now what everyone above said is good but beside a little notify and common sense this is something you can confidently figure out and fix on your own. Just be sure to save turning your power off respectively time so you do not burn your amp plugs. What you describe being it flips sour once a day tell me it's when your tub is going through a filter cycle. Most likely it will be your blower or ozonator afterwards. It could also be a small leak that's cause it. Be sure you have no dripping or hose down that is leak.
Dumb Blond,
You should make sure the breaker can accommodate the hot tub motor. Unless the motor is unnecessarily drawing too much amperage (probably unlikely since it is new), the breaker specifically on that circuit may be have to replaced beside a larger one. The only agency to be sure is too have the hot tub those come back and check it. This should be done by a professional since you are dealing beside high voltages and amperages.
