Hello Forum Members,
New here to the forum, and new to hot tubs as well.
In a nutshell I purchased a house recently and with it came a small Strong Spa.
After finding and repairing a small leak we decided to fill and test the spa out.
Initially it ran fine, pump, heater, lights all seem to work.
After a couple days of getting up to temp I found the GFI tripped off.
Reset the GFI and sometimes the pump will go into prime mode and run but then trip the GFI once it tries to pull on the heater.
Other times it will display that it is in the prime mode but the pump is not running, then trips the GFI after a couple minutes.
Just this morning I disconnected the heater, ran the pump with no tripping what so ever.
Ohm'd out the heater and everything seems to metre out correctly.
re-connected the heater and the GFI trips right away again......
its a 110v unit if it matters.
Any advice where to start looking?
Thanks in advance....
