GFCI Breaker Trips
|
By far, probably the easiest item (and most likely cause
of GFCI tripping) known to troubleshoot. Ozonators that are mounted on the floor, or the
bottom of the spa equipment cabinet, and should immediately be suspect for tripping a GFCI.
Water invasion into the ozone chamber or into the ballast transformer will trip the breaker in
milliseconds.

Example Installations
|
All Spa Installations
1. First remove or turn off power at the remote
disconnect box at the spa.
2. Disconnect the Ozone generator from the spa
control. 3. Re-Energize
power. 4. When the filter cycle
starts, if the GFCI does not trip offline, then the ozonator is the culprit.
Dimension One Spa Owners:
Due to the design of the patented ozone system
contained in your spa, it is highly unlikely that your ozone generator will ever cause a
ground fault. However, it is always a good idea to eliminate it as a matter of
practice. (I have yet to see a single instance of a ground fault caused by an ozone generator
in a D-1 spa in the last 3+ years). If you have a GFCI problem in a D-1 spa, it's more than
likely your circulation pump or heater element.
