GFI Tripping

Ya if you put a amp meter or look for voltage on the heater and then just turn the temp setting in the tub up it should force the heater to kick on. You can compare the voltage to the red lights and the pump starting.

So I did just that. Amps to heater only started when red LED went on. It was purely just the jets turning on when it tripped. Makes me think it isn't heater..but not sure what it could be now. Also confirmed pump 2 doesnt energize at all when pump 1 starts.

 You need to just go buy a new spa.  ;)   

Botswana:
Just spent 4k on this one last year :( The only possible solution at this point seems like the board, but it just doesnt make sense.  Unless somehow I got a dud pump replacement..which seems unlikely.

If the heater didn’t fire yet then it has to be in the pump 1 electrics. Could be motor but you would have had to have two bad ones in a row (unlikely). Or someplace going back from that, wires, connection, whatever power relay controls pump 1 etc.
