Hello again. I have a question and I'm trying to avoid a service call by my LPB and also the electrician, if I can help it.
We just got a new Bullfrog Spa in October. We purchased it from our LPB that we've used for years, and they had their recommended (contracted) electrician come and do the electrical, which was just using our existing line that ran to our old Hot Springs spa.
Recently (a month ago?) the gfci beside the spa started tripping. It was maybe once a week or so at first, but recently has been tripping about every day. It's random, though, and never when we're actually using the spa (running jets, etc.)
So the LPB is going to charge close to a couple hundred bucks between the service call and 1 hr minimum labor (not sure if they'd charge that for a warranty issue), and of course the electrician would charge for his call.
Should I have the LPB come out first? (is a spa component the most likely culprit, in ya'lls experience?)
They can't come out until May 11 so I'm not liking the wait, if something is going bad.
Or does it sound like it could be the GFCI? The electrician installed a new GFCI in October, but I know lightning or other surges can mess it up. I'm assuming the electrician could come out before May 11, we got him pretty fast last time.
thanks as always
