JonH Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 Hi, I've a Lay-Z-Spa Miami that's stopped working after a heavy shower of rain. The cable and GFCI breaker are outside and got drenched. I'm sure the GFCI breaker is the fault, the spa isn't getting any power and the light on the breaker isn't on, pushing reset makes no difference. Are GFCI Breakers standard, is the breaker just a breaker that doesn't transform the power up or down. Apologies for the naive question but new to Spas. Am I ok leaving the spa pump/heater outside in all weathers? With hindsight I should have protected the breaker. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cusser Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 I think you're on the right track. If breaker dries out and still doesn't work, replace it. A multimeter can help confirm this. No, a GFCI does not transform the power up or down. I added my own 40-amp 240 VAC GFCI to my 1988 CalSpa, weren't required back in 1988 (installed inside the wood cabinet, so stays dry). I also wired and installed a 120 VAC GFCI outside for my above-ground pool; that has a cover, came from Home Depot and the pool pump simply plugs into that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonH Posted June 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 Thanks Cusser, it's drying as I type. Fingers crossed that does it, otherwise I'll try new GFCI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
