This video is about The Spa Guy showing How To Diagnose and Replace a Heater that is tripping the Breaker... it is a similar process on all brands... www.HotTubPartsofAmerica.com
Bought a used hot tub got it home, got the electric service connected, filled it up, switched it on and nothing! The breaker tripped and nothing happened. Found this video, followed the troubleshooting steps and discovered that the heater was bad. $79 for a new heating element and less than an hour of work following the video instructions and my hot tub fired right up. This video literally saved me hundreds of dollars! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Got the same problem!... hopefully I'll get a similar result. Great video
Your video was , by far, the best video I have ever used! Very direct, to the point, nicely filmed, no corny jokes or comments, no screaming kids or distracting background noises, and IT SOLVED MY PROBLEM! Your video would make a great "how to make a CZcams video" video! Thank you VERY much! You Da Spa Guy!
Thanks for an explanation of why the GFCI trips as the hot tub ages. My circuit board had problems, too, so I just replaced everything for half of what my local store wanted. This video helped me to decide to call a parts distributor who sent me exactly what I needed and let me bypass the local guys who overcharge for simple service calls and for the same part I was able to install myself. Four years back I bought the "demo spa" model to try to save money, so I should have expected to have the problems that come with wear-and-tear of a slightly used spa. Your video and others saved me enough cash by using skills demonstrated and products from internet sales, so the rebuilt unit I have now is almost like new and is also easily repairable - now that I've been though the experience once. Your DIY video is a godsend for savvy handymen who enjoy solving new fairly simple problems while saving money. Thanks again.
I’m a girl and I think I can replace my heat element by watching this video as I go. Cause I sure can’t find anyone to come repair it.
My GFCI plug has been randomly tripping for years. I thought it was a burned out ozonator, which I replaced. That seemed like it fixed it for a bit but the problem continued. I watched this video and realized I had a leak on one of the heating element contacts. Replaced it for $30 and the tub works great now. Thanks
Just thought I would add to public knowledge. I had a situation where my hot tub wasn’t heating so I replaced the heater element. After replacement, the breaker would trip instantly. Tried 2 new elements with same result. Went back to original and no tripping but no heat. Electrically the new and old heater elements were identical (10 ohm resistance, no path from lugs to mounting nuts). Measured voltage at element lugs and zero volts.
Turned out that controller board had cold solder joints to both heater relay output pins. Resoldered pins to board and no more tripping the breaker with any of the heater elements and now have correct voltage at element posts and it’s heating fine.
Not sure why having those bad solder joints would cause breaker tripping with new heater elements but not the old (still working) one - but it did. Something to be aware of, Definitely caused some head scratching on my part.
Thanks so much for the video !! I found one of the heater electrodes leaking and then noticed the wire lead had melted . I just had the heater element changed...guess the repair guy didn't do a good job installing it. We went and bought a new spa since this one is 15 yrs. old. Was going to trash this one but will keep it now and use it at our home, the new one goes to our rental cabin. Just needs a new wire lead and element sealed with silicone....
Great Job spaguy! You are really helping people that habe to figure out these issues and dont always have the $$ to just call your local spa guy out. So really, thank you.
After going without the use of our hot tub since February because the heating element went out, we finally repaired it ourselves following your video. Though we didn't have the electric test kit we could tell the element was bad because of the rust around one of the terminals. Great Video. Thanks a lot! Saved us a lot of money. Our hot tub is 13 years old and nobody wanted to work on it. Found parts easily enough. Stephanie
That’s my problem. My hot tub is older and I don’t like the newer ones. I like mine but yes people do not want to worry w older models. Last guy swore he couldn’t find the parts on line because the Morgan spa was an older model. I think I bought it in 2005
This helped me identify that my corroded heating element was causing my unit to trip the breaker. THANK YOU!
What a great video! It took me longer to take off the tub cover and the electronics cover than it did to figure out that the heater was bad. Now the next step while I wait for the parts to arrive is to see if my slice valves actually work but if they don't it's outside so I get to water my brown grass! :) Thanks so much for a clear and straight to the point video!
Very thorough video. Thank you for taking the time to make it.
I changed out my pump seal and after reinstallation, refill, etc the breaker tripped at around the time the heater should kick on. Why the heater decided to crap out at that exact time is unknown to me.
Joseph sometimes when you let the water out and expose the back of the heater to air it does that.. Meaning it was bad already it just needed a pressure change to be exposed and cause a breaker trip..
I have heater elements here.. hottubpartsofamerica.com/search.php?search_query=titanium
I live in the great white north and found that my GFI kept tripping when powering on. Tried troubleshooting pumps, lights, heaters etc. with no definite issue. I ended up looking at the GFI breaker panel and found that it was packed with wind blown snow. I cleaned it up, dried everything up and SUCESS! Check to see if you have moisture in your GFI panel as well. 👍
I just want to thank you for posting this. My breaker was tripping and I assumed I needed a new pump. It was the heating element, wayyyyy cheaper.
You guys are awesome, thanks a million!
...wasn't sure if it was the heater or not tripping the breaker, because the spa would run for hours and then trip. So I disconnected the heater element from the board, and let it run for 2 weeks. Breaker never tripped again, so I ordered the part and will replace it today. Thanks for the video!
thanks for the details on getting my tub back running again! installed a titanium heater instead of the alloy one as recommended. my old heater didn't show any signs of corrosion on the posts, but tripped the breaker whenever it would want to heat. cheers!
This was probably the only "long" intro I actually enjoyed... ty
This helped me find the problem with my tub which was the heating element and then i ordered a new element from them and received it in 2 days with free shipping unbelievably fast thanks one of my favorite channels on you tube many thanks.
Thank You for the Order!!
First week of January (coldest day of the yr around -4f with a -20-30 windchill) outside jacuzzi decided to stop heating. I replaced the filters, heater, hi limit switch, and temp sensor drained and refilled. The only thing i can think of is the circut board is next? The top controller works fine and the light calling for heat is on. NO CODES. Jets work as they should. Everyhting is normal just no heat. The breaker never tripped and the fuse is good. The board has a few dark areas but nothing that looked burnt or out of the ordinary. I replaced the circ pump last year also. Thank you in advance
-Jason
Turned out to be circuit board
Thanks for the detailed video. This is exactly what a guy that doesn't know what he's doing (me), needs. I determined it was the heating element and replaced it easily.
My 11 year old cal spa runs like a top thanks to you & detailed how to videos! Once again !! thank you !!
Thanks for this great video. I used silicone grease for brake pad caliper pins when installing the O-ring. I love fixing things especially when I really don't know what I'm doing. You tube always helps me figure it out.
I want to sincerely thank you for your video showing me how to replace a balboa heater element. My breaker was tripped and spa dead. It is 12 years old so time to get a new one right? From another CZcams video I diagnosed bad heater and followed your directions. Had my first hot tub soak last week. Great job SPAGUY!
My hot tub starts and all looks good, then a few minutes in the breaker trips. When diagnosing the issues my breaker is only tripping when Pump 1 is connected all other parts are good (based on unplugging and disconnecting each individually). I even plugged in Pump 2 into Pump 1 port on the board and ran it for a while with no issue. Once the breaker is tripped it won't reset for a while, if I wait a day and reset it we start back in the beginning with all working for a short time. I just ordered replacement seals and bearing for Pump 2 for a small leak and a new heater titanium element from your website, figured worth fixing it up a little while I am in there working on it.
Pump one is an Executive 56 2 speed motor (also serves as circulation pump), Hot Tub is a Master Spa TS7.2.
Help Spa Guy...trying to isolate where the issue might be.
100% what was wrong with my tub. Thanks a million!
You are awesome! I thought for sure I had a bad breaker. After watching your video I did exactly what you said and realized the heating element was the issue. I ordered the part on Amazon and just installed it. Took me roughly an hour to install it. I did have to grind down one of my wrenches to fit as a back up support. Not a big deal, but took a little extra time. Thanks brother, I I owe you one. 👍😎 definite subscriber
Thank you lots Spa guy you help lots today troubleshooting my spa and heater element. As i could see on my element when looked at, the rubber o rings had almost cut in half because of the manufacturing of the hole, it left a burr, so i filed it down better so as to not damage my new orings, so i changed only orings and did not have to buy new element :-). CHECK YOUR ORINGS !!! Thanks again spa guy
Same issue, and at my age I was tired of keeping up repairs around the house, I was willing to pay to have someone fix it. I called for service.First business was $180 to show, then +110 an hour, next available two weeks out. Store we purchased was $249 and 4 weeks out. Not wanting to wait, I searched and found this video. Yup, my heating element is bad. 2024 prices with shipping around $90. Only wish they could do overnight shipping. SInce the first hot tub arrived 20+ years, we get ugly without a working hot. Waiting 4 weeks for just for service was not do able.
I appreciate the order and comment.. The reason I don't offer overnight is many times items do not come overnight even though you pay for it and we get blamed.. Just not worth the hassle..
Thanks for posting these videos. I just took on my first spa client and I have no knowledge of spas. I will be liking all of your great videos! Very Impressed! Thank you.
I'm so pissed I can't thumb this awesome video up 100 times. TY for taking the time to do all this. I have to help a friend with his tub and idk what to do, but I do now! Thanks my friend! 😉
Good Morning Spa Guy! Just scrolling thru the Q & A's here is interesting and beneficial, particularly those from Headless Horseman... I was beginning to think we owned the only Coleman 455 ever manufactured! Here's our problem: changed the water, got the tub all spiffy clean, topped up and "poof" goes the breaker. Nothing new really as it's sometimes taken a few throws [or flips] for it to stay on. When not, as this time, it's usually the element, right? Not this time. Well, who knows... with the new element in the breaker isn't flipping anymore but nothings happening... no pumps, no lights and who knows about the heater. There's electricity floating around in there cause... well, let's say I got a tingle :) I've replaced the 3 fuses I can see... the larger 30 amp one + the 2 smaller 7amp glass ones... any ideas? The topside controls weren't looking too hot prior to this and I was thinking we should get the Maxx replacement part (Coleman / Maax Spas TOPSIDE, PANEL, C400 & C600 SERIES - 2003-5 (NO OVERLAY) - 103305) but haven't gotten that far yet. Could that be the problem? Thanks! Peter
This was so helpful and saved me a load of money. This looked exactly like my setup and as you said, it does look like the heater coil. THANK YOU!
Good
Mine is a hydroquip, incoming voltage appears ok, indicators on upper panel appear normal, no error message, but unit does not come on, pumps are not activated... nothing....what next?
Thanks this video saved me. Fixed it with your help feels oh so satisfying.
Could you put some kind of cap on the pipe where the slice valve's are at...so the water wont come out..??? Do you think a balloon or something similar cap will stop the water from seeping past the slice valve, in other words cap off where the threads are, where the heater connects.
A big thank-you from Montreal! You saved me a lot of money and stress. Your video is absolutely easy to follow.
Thanks for this informative video. I had a circuit breaker that keeps tripping. I had already tightened the AC wires and unplugged all accessories. Your test at 2:30 shows me that the heater must be bad. Thanks !

Any of these 5.5 are correct for balboa..
Thank you so much for this information. I replaced my heater with tube and it is running great.
This video is truly excellent, succinct and to-the-point. A wonderfully done how-to!
Thank you very much for this very informative video. I was able to change my element myself. It cost me 35$ total instead of the estimate I got from a technician , 160$. Great job !!!
He estimated $900-1200 and took 450 to order part and took off w my $350 Klein meter…and he never came back or took my calls. His father died and left him the POOL PLACE his father had serviced my hot tub for 10 years. Then his son screwed over so many of us in this area. Pools and hot tubs.
This video is so well done he’s going to put himself out of business
Thumbs up for Professor Silly Juice
Spa Guy knows a bunch!
Youve just saved me a fortune, followed your video, boom fixed. I owe you a beer.
An outstanding video. "Spa Guy" a true professional. I so appreciate you.
Legit. Its just awesome to watch someone with so much expertise!
This video helped me successfully change out my heater element. Thanks for the helpful upload.
Great Informational video, you helped us out in diagnosing and replacing our bad heater quickly before it gets too cold here!
Thanks for watching Eric... Spa Guy
Excellent video. The best I watch. Everything you do is very well explained and demonstrated.
"i dont know much, but i know hot tubs" lol hell yea
Love your videos! I’m in the process of fixing up a coast spa and I’m definitely putting in slice valves to isolate the heater incase it needs future service
hottubpartsofamerica.com/gate-valves/
@@SpaGuy thanks! Do you have a video on the basics of the ozonator/ how to test/ troubleshoot one?
Would be good to see you test the actual old or bad element to see the ohms before changing. Mine test good but still blows the breaker when it fires. Flow sensor is fine. When I unplug the heater I do get the 120 output but when it is plugged in it trips.
Thanks for the videos Spa Guy! I was able to get a new (to me) tub up and going with help from the videos. Just wanted to say thanks for posting such useful info!!!
Thank You for watching!! Spa Guy
My hot tub will run for a day or so and then trip. Reset and we're good for another short time before another trip. This of course happened during winter and led to a frozen, cracked flow valve and draining half my tub.
Thanks for this video, great troubleshoot that found my issue quickly - the heater! Saved me time and money, thanks!
I think I have this exact problem on my tub. I opened up the case today and the terminal into the tube for the heater had one little drip on top (wasn't sure ehow it got there) and it trips out. I tried unplugging the pumps ect and it still did the same. I'll order heater and give it a go
great informative video, excellent presentation.
Hey spa guy, I need help, my system is a Balboa lite system with the heater in the back of the control board, I know it's the heater that's bad. how to remove & replace. thanks ! By watching your videos over the years I saved 100's if not thousands on watching you repair hot tubs......
wow,just wow, ! excellent video, as steve trubilla said in his post, a true professional you are. thanx again.
Great video. My hot spot hot tub keeps tripping. I checked all the items you mentioned. Nothing stands out. It ONLY trips every few days though. It doesn't just trip immediately. Any ideas? I suspect its one of the items you mentioned, but since it doesn't break immediately, I am stumped.
Kyle did you ever find the problem for the breaker tripping? Was the breaker bad?
The heater on my spa works intermittently. When I initially turn the heater on, the heater light illuminates but goes out after a few seconds. The system still runs, but the water doesn’t heat up. Suggestions please
Thank god I found your channel. I can’t find anyone to repair my hot tub and it will not get hot. Someone came years ago took $450 and my Klein Meter and never came back. I think he was saying it was a control panel…that has been replaced before and the blower and motor ….it’s a Morgan spai have the owners manual The man who owned pool place died and it’s his son who scammed me. There is no one else in town that repairs pools and hot tubs. So I can order parts from you????
The point of this video is for you to order parts from me.. www.hottubpartsofamerica.com
Very well explained and illustrated! Good job! Thank you very much!
I have a tub that the power terminal getting hot red side, tub runs but the plastic mount holding the terminals seems like it’s smoking a bit due to the hot wire getting too hot.
Cal spa, 2007. I changed out my circuit board, the unit goes to PR, then pump kicks on jets, they run for above 10 seconds then nothing more. I turn the breaker off, the same process again.
If you use a stainless steel wire brush it won't rust as bad after you brush it. If you brush it with a steel brush it will make the stainless rust. You can also check the resistance of the heater element and see if it is bad that way.
glan i found your site. now to get to work
I can't get the new heater element tube in my existing tube. I had to cut the two electrical prongs off in order to get the original out. What's the best way to slide the new in the tube?
Never mind got it I watched your video again and saying that they do go inside thanks a lot I was wondering why it was leaking prescient your time on this have a great day and God bless
Appreciate your time thank you
Here's my problem,I have a older Vita hot tub,no digital codes,etc., my hot tub will heat up during circulation,than for some reason it trips the reset button,not the GFI,,I will reset the rest button,the timer works,but not till later I hear the hot tub kick on. If I'm using the tub sometime works great other times I will pus the control button to go to my to turn the blower for more power it will trip the red rest,not always,but freq.. Also while it is circulation mode if I turn the thermosthat up,or down,it trips the reset. The GFI never trips just the reset button.Any idea what I should look at? I did disconnect the ozenizer,it is old .thanks for any help !!
I'm curious if the heater elements ever bang against the inside of the heater tube. I can't seem to locate a ridiculously loud banging noise when the heater motor kicks on high speed. It's definitely not coming from the motor.
Thanks for publishing such a great video!
Yes it can some elements have clips on them to keep them from vibrating and making noise..
Hi Spa Guy great video!. I have a Tiger River Spa, approx 6 yrs old that came with the house i bought, in nice working condition. It worked fine for a year. Then it started to trip after 5 min of running time. It started happening when it got cold out (southeast Michigan). I didnt know the condition of the filter so i replaced it, and it worked again and didnt trip for a while. I clean the filter about every 3 months, we use the tub about twice a week.
Now, its getting cold out and it trips again when in use. When not in use the heater works fine. But oddly i noticed it only trips when both the heater and jets are on at the same time. If i heat it up to where i want it, i turn the heater down so it's not engaged and run the jets as long as im in there and it doesnt trip.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your time.
Spa Guy just watched your video and cleared up my questions but I can't understand what you said about a ground on the board. Getting half voltage while testing elements studs to ground not 220 as I should. Help me out here please.
thankyou for the step by step video... my hot tub is heating again perfectely...brett
Ok, no reply yet, I have taken it out no impellor bits in there,nothing. On one of the bolts, there is rust on the top which l have cleaned. There is rust on the inside, where the bolt goes through. What should I do now?
25:15 you have a what on the board? I think I have this issue with my pump1 output. 2 speed only getting 120v it seems like. Great video, think my element is bad.
Hello..Im working on a tub that trips the breaker only when the ground wire is connected, as long as the ground wire is pulled off of the board it does not trip...and there is an led on the board that stays lit ONLY while that ground wire is off the board...I have pulled everything..and I mean everything off one at a time on the board....nothing trips until the ground is reattached to the control board..The only thing I can think of is the GFI has gone bad and wont hold the load of the heating elements when first started.
Thumbs down WTF??? This is a great and infomative video THANKS FOR THE INFO!!
Competitors...
Did you do a resistance check on the old element? My breaker is tripping only with heater plugged in, soon as I isolate it, it doesn’t trip, but I did a resistance check, and it was good 14.9 ohms
Originally my breaker was tripping, I unhooked the heater wires directly to test and it kicked on, I cleaned them and reattached and turned the tub back on and now the breaker doesn’t trip and everything runs but the water doesn’t heat up over 68. Is this the heater?
AWESOME video! Thanks so much! Was able to diagnose that the heater was causing the breaker to trip! Thanks friend!
Thank You Cory, Remember my parts website is www.hottubpartsofamerica.com Thanks, Spa Guy
My pump motor went bad I disconnect the wires.when I turn breaker on screen won't turn on the hottube. Would that be the cause for it not to turn on?
I have an old first generation Hot Spring Spa. Serial #10095 does not have a model type. The circulation pump was making noise but there was hot water. Would heat but would trip the GFI at the plug. I replaced the heater circulation pump and the water is moving fine now but the heater is not heating. Before I buy a new heater element (the most expense part) could it be the thermostat? How do I check if its that? Or the Hi temp sensor? How do I check that also?
I am having the issue you described at the end of the video where I get no power across the heater terminals and half when tested through the ground. How would I go about fixing the cold soldered joint on the board?
Tested volts at heater terminals. 125 vlt. Disconnected copper plates. Tested ohms. 14 ohms between terminals. Tested terminal to tube and still reading high ohms. Am I supposed to read ohms from center terminal to the tube ? Seems to me inside heating coil is shorted to the outer housing. Am i right , it is bad and tripping breaker!
Well, this is crazy, but nothing worked. I changed the gfi plug and still nothing. The GFI plug would not reset and stayed red. When I was putting the cover back on without power, yes, I know....THE LIGHT ON THE OZONE CAME ON AND CLICKED WHEN I TAPPED THE TOP OF THE CONTROL UNIT. I took the big 30A ceramic fuse out and tested it and pushed it back in and everything works.
Great video sir, my issue is that the heater is tripping my breaker after doing the elemination process i find that when i hook up the heater left lead it trips the breaker while powered but it doesnt do it with the right leadt touches,,,i have also nocited that i have 120v to that lead that causes the breaker to trip but zero volts to the right lead, isnt it supposed to have 240v when powered and i test both leads to the heater that come from the pack?...why am i only getting 120v to one and zero on the other?.....the power coming in to the pack has been tested and is correct
Good morning Sir, I owned a 1997 Z140 Whirlpool spa with a balboa instruments model du-h276-dcah. After 3 years not been used due Covid I recently hook it up again. When I plug in the power the RED heater light from hot tub control panel turn on for about 35 seconds and it turn it off. After that the pump is running, everything is working pump 1, pump 2, light are working good except the heater. Can you please give me some advise what is going on here please. Thanks a lot and have a wonderful day. Kim
Wow this is a very thorough video with many points being introduced
where can I but a new element rather than the whole package? Hudson bay spa energy saver 110vac
I have a cal spas with a Balboa 2100 and the only way I can get it to not trip the breaker is to do 1 of 3 things. I have a direct short somewhere between my black and neutral. 1 unplug the transformer, 2 pull the 1/2amp fuse just left of the plug for the transformer, 3 pull the 30amp fuse that's at the top of the box. I replaced the transformer as we did test it and it was bad however the problem persists. I see no damage or shorts on the board.
Any thoughts or suggestions of where or whatI can look at next?
Thank you for helpful video, Question :: buttons on top side panels are pressed. Any solutions ?
I had a pool spa or a spool heater was totally corroded opened panel and the whole heater just fell out I need to terminate the wires but I have 4 black wires 1 white 1 green 1 yellow 1 blue the yellow and blue reads 240 volts and the 4 black wires read 120 volt I’m not replacing any thing actually disconnected the pool too turned that into a pond. The problem is I need to do something with the wires I can’t disconnect from panel because it completes a circuit so any ideas
Great video, thanks, now the last 15 seconds of your video is what I have a problem with, I replaced the element but still not heating, it shows 0 volts between the two heater connectors but 115 each one with ground, how do I figure it out what’s the problem on the board now? Sorry but if you can help I will highly appreciate it.
Thanks.
Thanks for the video Spa Guy. It helped me to replace my heater element element.
Do you have a video on how the replace the waterfall on a 2018 Jacuzzi J-375.
I was loosening the screws so I could open it and clean it. But the screws stripped and now its loose with water coming out the bottom.
Sadly I do not have a video on the water fall..
OK, thanks for responding
Excellent informative video. Problem was not the breaker tripping but leaking. Found it at the seal at the end of the heater tube. As you described, corrosion at the heater element lug. Tested the element per your video with my VOM. The element tested OK. Question: Is it feasible to disassemble the element from the tube clean it and replace the seal if they are available? Not worth the time and effort? Buy a whole new assembly?
If the Element is leaking at one of the lugs there is not reselling you replace the element.. If it is a gasket at the end of the tube you simply replace the gaskets.. I have the element with the gaskets on the site if you need both as well as silicon to seal the lugs.. Thanks, Spa Guy hottubpartsofamerica.com/balboa-spa-hot-tub-heater-m7-sensor-replacement-temp-hi-limit-24-video-how-to/
Great video and very helpful! I have the same board but my circ pump continuously runs and seems to be wired slightly differently. Based on the diagram, and the way mine was wired, the black wire from my circ pump connects to the K4 relay on the bottom left of the board. I noticed that your circ pump seems to connect somewhere else, and was wondering if that might explain the difference at the 19 minute mark of the video. In your video, if you check the resistance from either heater terminal to ground, you get 0. For me, if I test the left heater terminal to ground I get what appears to be circ pump resistance, and if I test the right terminal heather to ground I get what appears to be circ pump + heater element resistance. This is a new board and a new heater element. Would that be expected given the difference between how my circ pump is connected versus the one in the video?
Helpful video, I inherited an older model Watkins Solana TX that has a bad heating element. Should I buy an entire replacement (tube, element, gaskets, connections) for $100-200 or just a new element?
Just the element.. hottubpartsofamerica.com/g-heater-element-4-0kw-gasket-kit-hot-tub-spa-part-m7-balboa-gecko-hydroquip-titanium-silicon-kit-best-value/
Hey Spa Guy...my Solana TX spa is approx. 14 years old, 2 years ago I replaced the pump and all has been good, until yesterday when we had a power outage, this morning my spa was running on low which is normal, however the water was cold. Would not switch to high, so I tried to reset everything and got the spa back working as it should but now the heater does not seem like its working...no error codes, the light on the display shows heater ON, everything appears to be working as it should, does not trip the breakers, however the water is cold. I have not open the unit yet, will get around to that tomorrow, does this sound like a bad heater? How long does a heater last?
Saved my life and my sanity!
My hot tub is not heating correctly, i have it set to 100 degrees but it dosent, feel like it. It feels more like 90 degrees. What could it be?
well done so perfect diagnostic troubleshooting shows your skill level- thank you for doing this!
@Spa Guy, I followed your troubleshooting since my hot tub keeps resetting the GFI, It is a Balboa HS200VS and has an extended board for pump2 if I disconnect pump off this board/connector it won't trip GFI have you seen this go bad or is it the pump2 causing it?
