Possible Causes

Safety first: Repeated tripping indicates a potential shock or fire hazard. Do not keep resetting the breaker.

1. Inspect cord and plug:
- Unplug and check for visible damage.
2. Dry environment:
- Ensure the heater pump unit is not sitting in water and is protected from rain.
3. Try another outlet/circuit:
- Use a different dedicated outlet to rule out house wiring issues.
If tripping continues: Internal components may be shorted. Do not open the unit unless qualified; contact Intex or an electrician.
