The tub is wired through a 50 Amp 240v GFI breaker, the Arctic Spa pack has connections for either 110 or 220v blower. I can get either voltage for a replacement, Arctic Spa changed from 110v blowers to 220v years ago, I upgraded my 2004 pack to their latest version a few months ago to...

Spa Pack has connections for either, is 230 more efficient?

So the tub ran all night and fully heated up. I played around with the blower today, I had taken the blower apart and inspected it closely, still plenty of life on the motor brushes and no sign of shorts and continuity was good, so I put it back together and plugged it back into the spa pack...

I opened up the blower,completely dry inside. The soot inside the cover was from a technician who did something wrong and the board smoked, he replaced it along with the heater, this was years ago.

Would this relay be on the spa pack board?

3 pumps, air blower is what is tripping the breaker.

Okay, now that I'm paying closer attention to this, it trips faster than I thought. I disconnected the Ozone, still tripped, same with the heater, on to the blower, Bingo! The blower runs as soon as the power is turned on, runs for a few minutes then the breaker trips. All other functions...

Thanks Jim, Can you suggest a way to check the heater?

GFI Breaker

2004 Arctic Spa in good overall condition, breaker trips from time to time. I run all the pumps, blower, heater and can't make it trip, but will find it tripped days later. Thoughts?

My Raypak heater was making this howling noise also, I have a variable speed pump, I played with the RPM's, raising it silenced it, dropping it brought the noise back. Thanks!

Is there anyone who repairs these units? Maytronics says it needs to be replaced, no repair option.

I have a 2004 model Arctic Spa, we have only used Baqua Spa products and sanitizer since new. There was quite a buildup of biofilm in the plumbing which I am in the process of purging with Ahhsome. Would chlorine be a better choice moving forward?
