xandrew245x Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 Hello, I have a caldera spa, hawaiian model. Last winter I ended up having to drain it and winterize it early on due to a problem. The spa would work fine for about a day or two, but it would then trip the gfi breaker. I'm not really sure why, but I would like to try to figure out the problem. Every time the break would trip, the heating element would stop working and the circulation lines would freeze. Defrosting the circulation line and resetting the gfi fixed the issue until it would trip again. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xandrew245x Posted December 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 Still having this problem, I replaced the heating element thinking that was possibly the problem but its still periodically tripping the breaker. Everything works fine with it except for it throwing the breaker, not really to sure whats going on, but really need to get it figured out. On a side note when the breaker is tripping its shutting down everything including the circulation pump and heater, i thought they were set up so the heater and circulation pump was on a separate breaker.

castletonia Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 All Caldera's that I have ever seen are set up so the heater is on its own breaker. I suppose anything pre-Watkins could be different. Could be a bad breaker. Most components in a hot tub will repeatedly trip the breaker if they are the issue.
