It tripped about an hr ago 11:00am my time, Feb 3rd. I reset it and looked a the temp its at 107.. Its fricken cold outside I live in Colorado it shouldnt over heat. If you can dissconnect the heater and let it run for a day or two. If it doesn't trip the breaker then we have narrowed it down to 2-3 things. Ill try it. Thanks Well I disconnected everything, one at a time ..Jet 1 then Jet 2, then blower, hi /low limit thermo, Reg thermo, pressure switch. LED light, ....How ever i left the cric pump hooked up ...came back to check on it and it has tripped the GFI. Cric pump is the only thing running everything els is disconnected...... I just replace the original 72204 - Caldera/Watkins Recirc Pump SB-909 115V 1in. (NO LONGER AVAILABLE) - 72204 circ pump... With 74427 - Caldera Spas / Hotsprings Retro Circ Pump - 74427.. I thought it was the cric pump so I replaced it and its still tripping GFI....Ok so now I have hook all the jets and blower and thermos back up, and disconnected the circ pump. it hasnt tripped yet......remember the circ pump is new... could it be my board???

Well.... It has not tripped the breaker since the post yesterday. I unpluged and reset everything, I have the access panels off. Ill button every thing up.....maybe its getting to hot under there???? But like i said it may take days before it may trip again.

Yes the 30 amp will literally turn off by it self ..as if some one pushed the test button.. My spa has never done this Ive had it new since 2003. Something must be over loading it. I just dont know what yet. When you say the breaker trips, is the breaker switch literally turning to the off position BY ITSELF? I'm sorry if this seems like as stupid question, but it's a very common mistake. If the breaker is actually turning itself off, then yes indeed it's tripping. This would indicate either an electrical problem or a bad GFCI breaker. If the breaker is NOT turning off, and you're just having to turn it on/off to get the spa working again, then there's an issue with the spa (and in that case the breaker is NOT tripping off). Most commonly, if the spa itself 'trips off' randomly, or over a few days, it's probably a poor flow issue due to older or dirty filters. If you have not done so already, remove the filter from the spa entirely and see if the problem still occurs. It could also be a flow switch issue if the filter doesn't correct the issue. Edit: Generally speaking, the breaker itself will only switch off if: 1) There's an electrical problem (Ground Fault, short circuit, too much amp draw, etc) 2) The breaker is failing.

Caldera Hawaiian spa 2003 Spa worked great until now. The 30 amp GFCI breaker is randomly tripping, so I reset breaker look at the display. I get the four dashes - - - - so i reset it again every thing works circ pump starts all jets and air work display comes on shows temp. Spa's been tripped so it shows low 80's 90's water temp to be expected. I checked on it about 1 hour later still working temp rising looks good. I go to work come home GFCI breaker tripped. Start the reset process all over. So I wait about 10 mins and I heard it trip it was just criculating no jets or air on. Called the Tech hes said its the watkins circ pump their bad.. ok I replaced the circ pump ...GRRRR. still tripping . I unpluged the Ozonator still trips, I unpluged the air pump, still trips... It will run for days before tripping or trip 10mins after reset. Ill try unpluging the jets.....Also it seems to trip no matter if its running full jet and air or just circulating. any thoughts Could it be the high limit thermo. or pressure switch? or bad GFCI breaker.
