I finally found the source of the problem causing the tripping. My J-345 came with speakers mounted right at the water line. The speaker is leaking when overfilled and running down on the motors and electric panel.....

Yes it was a bad explanation from my part based on what I’d been told. I didn’t realize I had a separate circulation pump until I took covers off of cabinet. thanks for the references on pumps!

Thank you! Any source you recommend for the pump? the pic you reference is just spider webs.

Thanks for the reply. I unplugged the pump 1 from the circuit board to see if it would keep it running and it did. So that will atleast get me buy and keep me from freezing. In the 2 possibilities you listed, not being a tech is this something it might be easier to just swap the pump out or are they easy to check and correct? I might be able to find a multimeter but may have to get one from my office. pics attached

Help me! I have Jacuzzi j345 that trips gfci on occasion but once it trips it it takes a while to get it to stay on. Specifically if pump 1 goes is turned to hi or once it kicks on it will trip immediately. this has happened atleast 1-2 times a year for the last couple of years. I’ve isolated it happening to when it needs to be topped off with water and I fill it a bit too hi. I suspected that it was possibly the control panel being cracked and water running over or splashing but have eliminated that. This time I knew it was a bit full so when I used it I was careful not to splash or overflow it. So pump one was on low circulating and it would let me run pump 2. After 10 minutes or so I turned off pump 2 and pushed pump 1 to high. It tripped immediately. this time I went ahead and changed the breaker hoping it was just something weird. turned it on same thing. any help? is there a way to do a ground fault test on the jacuzzi? if not, maybe unplug pump 1 and see if it will run? thanks in advance!
