My spa had been successfully working for 4 years.
Recently I did some work on the fiberglass to repair a very small leak in the spa itself and as a result it was down for 2 weeks.
After the repairs were completed, I filled the spa and the GFI would trip out when I tried to turn the power on again. The GFI is a Cutler Hammer CH50SPA installed by a licensed electrician and inspected by the town, passed and has been operating for 4 years.
My research on the internet suggests that the GFI can go bad. Is there a test to see if the GFI has gone bad or do I indeed have a situation that is causing the breaker to trip.
I hesitate to replace the breaker without knowing if it is bad, cost >$150.
