circuit breaker wont set

<< < (2/2)

By process of elimination it is my pump!   :'(  I am trying to find one on the internet.  Do I just get the same HP that I have?
The hot tub came with our house. (2 years ago)  I have no idea the age of my hot tub.  It is a Cal Spa.
Thanks for everyone's help on this one...
I have drained the tub completely because without my pump the heater won't work.

Bad news about the pump.

Good news is that you can just replace the  motor. However, make sure that the impeller and other things are in good working order on the pump. You might as well buy a twenty dollar rebuild kit and rebuild the pump while you replace the motor. Don't worry, it's easy.

Yes, get the same HP as before. Also, if it's a two speed pump make sure to get a two speed pump or conversely with a single speed pump.

I highly recommend checking this site out for help. It was invaluable to me when I rebuilt and restored my classic HS Spa.

I know this is an old thread, but it was one of the resources I found when trying to track down why my GFCI would not reset. I thought it was worth adding to this thread to help anyone else facing this issue in the future. This post was very helpful, and I was convinced I must have a pump or heater or some other sneak circuit in the hot tub that was causing the issue. Shutting off main power before the disconnect allowed the GFCI disconnect to reset, so I figured the problem wasn't with the GFCI itself.

After a lot of checking I noticed that back up at the main power box that a viney weed had snaked its way up to my meter and had actually entered the meter box. Removing the shield plate I could see it had wound itself all around the live wires and was causing enough of a problem to trip the GFCI. Using a plastic shim I scrapped and cleaned out all of the pieces of the weed I could see and put the panel back together.

FINALLY, my GFCI would reset and the hot tub turned back on.
