Jeff-hottub Posted June 15, 2014 Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 All - I have a strange one. So I keep having the hot tub blows the Dual 60 amp non GFI breaker instantly inside the house, I do not have a GFI just a knife disconnect on the outside of the house.. If I disconnect the Black wire on the heater it works fine. As soon as I connect the black wire it trips. So thinking this is a easy fix. Ordered a new heater, Well that did not help. Now the board where the heater plugs in is burnt up with back everywhere. Board still works but not looking so good. I swapped out the 60 amp Dual Breaker in the house same issue. I tighten all the connections from the Panel to the tub. I am at a lost. I have a 2003 Sweetwater/Sundance Brita 240V spa with circ pump, Thanks Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrowatrest Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Could be a bad motor, drawing more current than it is supposed to, but not enough to trip the breaker with the heater disconnected. Also, could be a low voltage condition that demands higher than normal amperage to support a given load on the motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
