[Circulation pump tripping breaker]

I have an above ground pool and a couple of times torrential rain storms (yes, Arizona) have gotten the pump motor wet and the GFCI breaker kept tripping.  I let it dry out for a couple of days and then it worked fine.

I have made a little cover/table to shield the pump from the rain (I call it my "pool table" as a joke) and have elevated the slab (for pump and filter) a little to try to prevent such damage.

So I'd rig up an electric fan to blow air over your pump for a couple of days, then try it.

It’s got a cover usually this was error on my part this time but I’m hopeful now that you’ve said you had it happen. It’s gonna be warm the next couple of day so I’ll let the sun dry it out

Dry it out and see is all you can do.

I kind of figure that but the wait is killing me

Hey guys so I replaced the wet end on my circulation pump today. I have done it on other pumps in the past but today I guess I didnt tighten the impeller tight enough and water started to come out the shaft side. Well I guess in the panic to stop it and un screwing the pipes I must have gotten the pump wet because now when I flip the breaker on it trips. If I unplug the pump from the control box and flip the breaker it stays on. Did completely mess up the pump or does it just need to dry out?

Is there any signs of water around the base? I would say that you have a leak that needs repair.

There doesn’t seem to be signs around it and I checked all fittings and gaskets

How much water are you losing over what period of time? Inch a day. inch a week?

Maybe 2-3 inch a week the inside of the cover is always soaked and dripping

We must ask this question: what kind of cover are you using????

It’s the beachcomber cover that came with it 

[How to reduce evaporation in hot tub during winter]

Hi everybody, I’m a new owner of a hot tub, I got it this past summer and now I’m trying to run it during the winter. We live in northern Jersey and the temperatures are colder now anywhere from single digits to low 30s. My question is, how do I stop my hot tub from evaporating so much water? I have tried using one of those bubble wrap type thermal insulators however, I am still losing water from evaporation relatively quick. I have checked for leaks, could not find any all my pumps, and such are external. Any bit of advice is appreciated. Thanks!
