Are there any sprinklers that will hit the equipment bay of the hot tub?
Eliminate The Components
Does the hot tub have an ozone unit attached to it or any type of sanitizing device?
Unplug or disconnect the unit and see if the GFCI will hold.
Does the hot tub have a blower in it? (2001 and previous models only.)
Disconnect the blower and see if the GFCI will hold. 2002+ models do not have blowers.
Check the heater  rst before you check any of the pumps.
The heater will be energized if there is a heat call. Disconnect both legs rst before you try the
pumps.
Is the hot tub equipped with a circulation pump? (All 2002+ models are equipped this way.)
Unplug or disconnect the circulation pump and see if the GFCI will hold.
If the GFCI still trips, disconnect the main, two speed pump  rst, then the secondary, single speed
pump if the hot tub has one.
Do you notice any water deposits near any of the motors or any other electrical devices?
Look at the area around the air controls. If water is backing up into the control, it will leak out, pos-
sibly onto an electrical component.
Is the control panel properly sealed as to not allow water to leak down onto the load box?
Are there any components, speci cally the pumps, heater, ozone, etc., leaking?
Do you notice any corrosion around any of the components, speci cally the heater, pumps, circula-
tion pump, ozone, etc.?
What is the amperage draw of the hot tub with everything energized. Be speci c.
Use a clamp on ammeter to determine the amperage draw.
What is the amperage draw of each individual component? Be speci c.
Again, use a clamp on ammeter to determine each components amperage draw.
If a component has excessive amperage draw, replace that component.
If you should need to contact Jacuzzi Premium Technical Support, these are questions that will be
asked of you. It is also a good idea to have the “Troubleshooting Data Collection Form” (see example
on page 61)  lled out.
