How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Only a qualified electrician should modify breakers or wiring.
- 1. Confirm breaker size: Check that the spa is on the breaker size specified on the Freeflow rating label.
- 2. Avoid overloading: Temporarily lower set temperature or avoid running jets on high continuously until issue is resolved.
- 3. Have current draw tested: A technician can measure pump and heater current to identify an overloading component.
Do not simply install a larger breaker without verifying wire size and spa specifications.
