I have a sovereign model 1 HotSprings hot tub with a 6000 watt no fault heater. It has been working perfectly. When I reset the GFI at the electrical sourse, it runs a few minutes, running the flow pump and the heater starts to warm up and then it trips. When I repeat this, I can hear a series click inside the area with the pump, etc. 5 clicks, it starts up then stops and GFI is tripped. I tried reset button and wait 30 sec.s on heater and unplugging power for several minutes. If I wait long enough, as in hours, it runs for 3-5 minutes before tripping. The more often I reset it, the shorter it will run. Any help would be great. There are no service ares anyway near me. Thanks KW
