If your GFCI breaker trips continually, it normally means that you have a ground fault or overload somewhere in the electrical system of your hot tub. The most common causes are a defective heater manifold, an inoperable pump or in some cases a malfunctioning spa pack or defective breaker.

Once the heater is disconnected, turn the breaker to the 'ON' position.
If the breaker still trips, reconnect the heater manifold and proceed to Step 2.
If the breaker does not trip and all other features function normally, the heater is defective and must be replaced. Contact us with your spa pack model number for parts pricing and availability. See Replacing a Heater Tube for a step by step on how to replace the heater in your spa pack.

One by one, unplug each pump and turn the breaker to the 'ON' position. If the breaker continues to trip, reconnect the pump and move to the next one.
If the breaker stops tripping once a pump is unplugged, that pump will need to be replaced. Follow the cord back to the pump to identify which it is. Contact us to have the pump professionally replaced or for parts pricing and availability. See our guide on Replacing a Pump if you wish to replace it yourself.
If all pumps are unplugged and the breaker is still tripping, contact an electrician as it is likely that there an issue with your GFCI breaker.
