jinsand Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 (edited) I have a 2016 Hot Spring Spa Vanguard. When I have more than a few people in tub, the 30 amp breaker will trip. When I'm in by myself or with one person, there are no issues. Hot Spring replaced my 30 amp breaker -- but the issue is still happening. Has anyone experienced this?? I'm trying to figure out how bather load could make the breaker trip. Edited September 25, 2017 by jinsand fixed tags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScenicCabinRentalsRRG Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Something that comes to mind is there may be a bad seal up high in the tub somewhere above the fill line that when enough water is displaced (in your case 3 people), or the tub is overfilled, water might start leaking through this bad seal onto electronic components and short them out causing your GFCI to trip. I'd also try running everything in your tub so it is drawing max current IE lights, jets, blowers, heater, the works, and let it run for a few minutes just to be sure the power supply is adequate. It's an easy check to do. That way at least you can eliminate the possibility. Hope this can begin to help. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castletonia Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 The 30A breaker is for everything except the heater. I would 2nd the possible leak up high on the spa. The smartjet lever and the control panel are directly above the control box and one of the jet pumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
