The GFCI is catching current going where it should not — in a tub full of water, that is exactly what you want. We find the leak.
Three causes cover almost every call we get for this.
The most common cause. Scale or corrosion lets current leak through the element sheath.
Worn motor insulation. Trips when that pump starts.
Water in the disconnect box, corroded terminals, or a GFCI breaker past its life.
Takes a minute, costs nothing, fixes it more often than you would think.
Note when it trips — on heating, when a pump starts, or at random — and tell us when you book.
Still happening? That's our job.
We isolate the heater, each pump and the blower at the control box and test which one leaks, replace a worn GFCI breaker, dry and reseal the disconnect, and confirm the bonding around the tub — the thing that keeps a fault from ever reaching a person in the water.
Online or by phone. A technician reaches out within 1 business hour.
Traced to the box or device it lives in. Exact price before any work, you approve it first.
Right parts, tested under load, next connection checked so it does not come back.
A hot tub that keeps tripping its GFCI breaker has current leaking to ground somewhere, and the GFCI is doing precisely what it exists to do in a tub of water. The leak is a failing heater element, a pump or blower motor with worn insulation, a wet or corroded connection in the disconnect or the tub's control box, or a GFCI breaker that has worn out. An electrician isolates each component at the control box and finds the one leaking in under an hour; never bypass the GFCI.
No. A hot tub without GFCI protection is how people are electrocuted. We find the leak instead.
We identify which component leaks. Electrical parts — breaker, disconnect, wiring — we fix. A heater or pump inside the tub is usually the spa technician; we tell you exactly what to tell them.
