VerifiedHello, Thank you for using JustAnswer; my name is***** am sorry you have issues with you Coleman Saluspa Let's find a solution to your problem. I will respond shortly. Texting is my preferred format. Please understand that I schedule phone calls through our chat sessions if necessary. If you click the phone call advertisement, our chat session will be terminated. IMPORTANT NOTE: to troubleshoot your Pool/Spa equipment, you will not only need basic tools but will also need a multi-meter that can check for voltage and resistance (ohms). It would be impossible to troubleshoot your spa without one. Make sure the batteries are fresh in the meter to ensure you get accurate readings. What is your name? Randy
Good morning how are you this morning? If you are tripping the GFI outlet there are a couple of possibilities check all the connections electrically on the main PCB board inside the controller housing boost connections cause high and draw which will cause GFI to trip. If all of your electrical connections are good and secure then you more than likely have a problem with the heater or the main pump drawing too many amps or at times starting to show the signs of a ground fault and that is why your GFI plug is tripping.
It is possible you'll have to go through and do some troubleshooting to isolate I can help you with that if you would like to do that we can do that a little bit later on this afternoon. Unfortunately I see a lot of service work on the inflatable tubs and the last 3 years there has been a lot of electronic failures. Everyone is tired of hearing that.
