LigMan Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 I have a HotSprings Landmark from 1995 it has the original cartridge heater and a new circ pump. The problem is that when I turn up the temperature the breaker pops. I've tested the heater and get 9.9 ohms. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cusser Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 My guess is that the ground fault breaker is sensing danger, shutting it off. I suspect the heater element. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey Hot Tub Repair Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Disconnect the heater black & white wires at the circuit board (or terminal block). If the spa no longer trips the breaker, than your element is shorting out to the water and will need to be replaced. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
