miahlloyd Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 I have a new to me softub model PT-1503B smaller 2-4 person model hotub, It took about 36 hours and heated up great, air works great. no leaks ect. 4 days into oporation I noticed the motor turned of by itself and the GFI was needed reset on the plug that came with the unit. I Thought nothing about it, hit reset and it worked for 2-3 more days. Then again it switched off by itself i just happen to notice it was not on. The problem now is every time i turn on the motor to heat the tub it trips the GFI, This is where it gets weird. If I turn on the blower to the air bubbbles it works just fine If i turn on the blower to the air then the heater it the unit stays on untl i turn off the air then the motor trips the GFI, If i turn the motor on with barely no water in the unit the motor stays on fine. If I turn on the motor to heat the water and there is full water motor will turn on for 1 second maybe and trips the GFI, All the buttons work, I put overheater water in the unit to see if the over heating element works and it does the light all flash and once it cooled reset and was good to go. However same problem persist. You turn on the motor to heat alone GFI trips. Im not sure how to troubleshoot this or figure out what to do. It all works the motor spins water comes through, no problem when the air pump is on, what do i do ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cranbiz Posted August 9, 2021 Report Share Posted August 9, 2021 Start your own thread. This one is 8 years old. You might want to post this in the inflatables section. Post up pictures of the equipment and the circuit board. This could be a lot of things. However, it doesn't use standard portable hot tub parts for the most part.

John Jay Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 Looking for a new or used main power unit- Pump/Filter/Heater for an older Deluxe Portable Spa model #23055 sold by Sofina Corp. I bought it on EBay in 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
