Fantastic video! You saved me so much time and aggravation. I was able to troubleshoot the problem within seconds.

Hi Matt Many many thanks for this video. After being winterized, swim spa was tripping, so I followed your well documented sequence of removing leads and retesting... then, on releasing the nuts on the heater, a small puff of white powder fell away from one terminal... which, after testing to prove the heater was causing the tripping and reconnecting with no tripping, appears to have been the problem. That small amount of corrosion was clearly causing the spa to trip. I had called the supplier's who said it had to be either the control panel or the control unit but they were so busy they couldn't fit me in for 6 weeks and charge me a minimum of £144 ($180). You vid has saved me £... and the grandkids can visit for a dip next week after all... so £Thanks£ made above. I will raise a glass to you this evening. 🙂 Cheers Terry (UK)

Informative but I really left a like because of the PPC bracelet! Go Mad Max!!

Matt, I’m a member and have ? Our inflatable hot tub in an Avenli London inflatable spa. We purchased last August and now the massage or bubbles work but when you hit the heat and filter buttons it trips the test/reset and turns the pump off. I have kept the water clean and use bromine tablets in a dispenser. We have basically had the unit on heat and filter daily since we have purchased because we get in it a lot for our aching old bodies now….it is so hard to heat back up….it then usually trips the GFCI breaker on the wall where spa is plugged in to our pool house outside patio area…I have never descaled the pump or added descaled to water etc. we have however taken the filter out weekly and cleaned it or replaced it when it looks bad and it hard to clean after a few times cleaned. I use spa sanitizer, bromine, Calcium water clarifier for hardness and deformed…I have added some Alkalinity increaser in sometimes when water gets cloudy…what do you think this could be? We tried unplugging the cord and resetting and plugging into an outlet inside the pool house (3 prong) and same thing! I had started noticing that even tho temp was locked in on 104 F that it would only get up to 101 or 102..there are no jets inside just works thru air from outside pushed in…This control still works and we can circulate or turn the bubbles switch to on without it kicking anything! Help

Thanks

I had to change a gasket and I forgot to turn off the breaker. Now that I fixed the pipe that leaked. The breaker keeps tripping. Is there a way to reset it ?

My tub runs for about 5 minutes and then trips the breaker. I unhooked the heater and it ran good and didn't kick the breaker. Can I assume it is still the heater.

What could cause the breaker to trip after a couple hours

There's many reasons a hot tub might trip the breaker, this is only one of them.
