Bullfrog Brenda Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 my 7yr old Bullfrog is tripping again. About 2wks ago we were in the tub for about 2hrs and the gfi tripped. Although we replace the GFI last year, I figured that was the easiest fix. When it happened again after using it for about the same time I decided to replace the heating element (which I replaced 2yrs ago). The tub runs fine, standard mode. But last night, after 2hrs of use, my tub is trippen again! I don't know where to go from here, without spending a butt-load of cash calling "the man". FYI: I also replaced the pump 1.5 yrs ago. HELP PLEASE!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cusser Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 Brenda - maybe you're "too hot" for the tub !!! OK - I have a question: when the GFI trips, if you re-set it immediately does it trip or stay on? I have a 1988 spa, the only time my GFI has tripped was when it detected an electricity seepage at the heating element. Maybe the GFI is getting hot after that amount of use, how's the air flow around that? Is that inside the cabinet and closed in? 2 hours is a long time in the spa, if it re-sets maybe don't worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullfrog Brenda Posted September 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 Thanks for the reply! The gfi trips immediately after I go to reset it. Only after I wait ( usually don't try for an hour or so) does it reset. I can check the airflow, but I'm not sure what I could change about that. It is in a pretty compact area inside of the front cabinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
