I have a 240volt spa, and I hooked the electricity myself. I installed a 70 AMP breaker at the main panel and purchased a spa panel from Lowe's. The panel includes a GFCI 50AMP breaker and includes extra places for lighting and what not.
My spa requires 4 wires (2 hots, neutral, and ground). I believe that I hooked everything according to specs. My spa has worked fine with one aggravating problem. Once every few days (inconsistently) the GFCI breaker trips. I have researched this and have found that the problem is common especially in hot tubs with ozonators?!
The only thing I have found is that I may need to purchase an expensive GFCI disconnect, which I'm not familiar with.
What can I do to reduce false tripping of the GFCI?
