    Hot Tub Keeps Tripping
    Every time we flip the breaker for the hot tub and try to turn it on, it keeps tripping itself. We have dried off the inside and around the electrical areas, but it continues to trip. We thought maybe it could be a bad fuse, but aren't sure. Any help?

    You have a short somewhere in the hot tub or the breaker. If you cannot locate the short yourself, call an electrician. Do not keep operating the hot tub or you could end up with a swell electrical fire!

    What kind of breaker do you have this hot tub on? You may be overloading the breaker with too much voltage.
