Please help Doctor, spa here is my problem.

I have a Gulf Coast spa 1 year old haven had a problem Till now.

The heating element went south and they sent me a new one. Went through the steps to install it and the GFI keeps tripping. If I remove the two power cables the tub runs fine, checked the circuit board and I have 240Volts but If connected to the heating element the GFI trips. Do you think I got a bad new element or is my GFI cooked?

Also how do you check to see is a Flo Thru element is good?

Thank you

Arthur

Yes, it sounds like your heating element is bad.

To check it - leave it disonnected.

Resistance throught the element should be around 12 ohms.

Resistnace from either hot lead to ground should be infinite.
