Hi,
I have a 2012 Hot Spring Prodigy that been unused from some time for a recently bought house. The CFCI 20 amp breaker trips about 15 to 30 secs after the jet pump is turn on, the 30 amp breaker is still on. I have both the Power and the Ready light flashing too which made me suspect the pressure switch is bad, but I am confused about the circuit breaker tripping. I have rinsed the filters with water and open the Weir door all the way. The circulation pump had water coming out when I did a air lock test, it also has water coming spitting from the 1/4-inch hole in the filter well . The heater 6KW had corrosion on it and the lead to the relay board was corroded and broken ( I cleaned it and reattached it, he heater reads 10 ohm) The thermostat and high limit sensors both have the same ohm reading. Through elimination, nothing tripped the breaker until the jet pump was plug in and then on for about 30sec . I was wondering if it could be the Run Capacitor ( the motor had a bit of rust, i ordered a new shaft seals will install them when they arrive). Kind of out of ideas
Any help would be appreciated .
Thank you,
Jerome
