hphill Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Hi, New to the forum and have a question for you all. My hot tub trips the 20 Amp GFCI when I turn the pumps on sporradically. Most typically noted on jets 2, and if they do come on then I turn them off and back on it will trip. Once on they run strong for 30 + minutes. So, powering on pump 1, then pump 2, may work fine, however if I turn pump 2 off it trips the breaker when I turn it back on. I disconnected pump 2 from the IQ2020 and pump one had noe problems. My best guess is its the capacitor, but newb to hot tubs. The hotsprings store said that you cannot buy a capacitor alone, and would need to buy a motor. They also offered to come check it out for a $200 service call. Any advice would be appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PreservedSwine Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Hot Springs doesn't sell capacitors. They sell pumps. If the cap is bad, Hot Spring repair = new pump. Take the pump to a pump repair shop, or, replace the pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
