IM NOT AN ELECTICIAN, but we just had a hot tub installed 3 months ago. we use a 50 amp breaker and a 50 amp gfci on the outside panel. we had to have this as a designated line for hot tub use only.... maybe your tub is wired in with other appliances on this line . so when you up your power intake. it trips because the line can not deliver all the electricity you need.. is your tub a 120v plug in model????? we were told that with this style or tub. if you are using the tub with the heater on and you want high jets on too. something has to give. 120v plug in model cant keep up with the hydro demand.. we have our tub.. hard wired with its own breaker.... hope this helps you...happy tubbin.

thanks for your advice. I do have one more question.? I would like to switch to a bromine chemical base, I have seen advertised " Magic in a box " spa care. Im told chlorine is a bit more tricky to control, and is more designed for cooler temperatures. Where bromine is designed for hotter temps.and is better for beginners...My girlfriend and I use our tub every night for an hour. bromine sounds like it may be better for us... What do ya think ???????

Hello! First time hot tub user of 2 months. In the last month the water has gone green overnight. We fixed it, but now we notice a dirty foot/sock smell on our skin after use. We have been changing the filters every couple of days. We are using Aqua Easy Shock, Spa Life Sanitizer, Spa Life Shock. Test strips show levels are where they should be. We use it daily for about an hour, and we chemical after use with cover off for about 40 min. Should we drain the water and start over????
