In Response To: Re: GFCI trips (n1oty)

: Sounds to me like you have problems with the
: line side in addition to problems at the
: tub. I am hamstrung by the fact that you did
: not provide any information about the tub
: (make,model,yr of mfg, etc), but can assume
: for now that it is one of the Watkins tubs
: (Hot Springs, Caldera, etc) because they
: generally wire up this way.

: Watkins tubs with a single jet pump will
: utilize a 6 kW heater. The heater should be
: wired to the 30 amp breaker, and the
: controls and motor should be wired to the 20
: amp breaker. The tubs with 2 jet pumps will
: have a 4 kW heater instead. These tubs
: reverse the breaker arrangement. The 20 amp
: feeds the heater circuit and the 30 amp
: feeds the motors and controls.

: Start with that and also be sure your tub is
: wired correctly to the electrical supply.

Sorry John ,you are right I shouldve given the model and make

Hot springs landmark .. 2002 OK I rescued it from the chainsaw ,, The lady that owned it was so frustrated with the maker and vender ,she wanted it broken into small pieces ,,

after messing with it for a year I can understand her frustration

I checked the wiring diagram on the inside of the box that covers the circuit board

Everything seems to match ..
