- When I started the heater and low power jets and filter it draws about
24.5-25 amps off of a 30 amp 240 breaker set up. After about 3 to 5 minutes breaker trips one side of 30 amp breaker.
2 As yesterday I went to add extra tablets to the floater in the water got a shock from surface water so what I did was go inside and flip on one side the 30 amp breaker at a time.
3, What I got was the side of the breaker that kept tripping when switched on had no voltage across surface water. Then I turned that breaker off and turned on the other breaker that does not trip and a surface voltage of about 20 volts is what I got when tested to Ground.
The question is this breaker defective and need replacing/ I tend to think so. P.S. I have used this hot tub several times with no surface voltage.
