Circuit breaker tripping in spa mode

The issue is a circuit breaker popping. The circuit has the heater, blower, and ultrapure (dual pole 20 amp, Siemens). When I put it in spa mode (no matter what time of day), have the heater turn on, and then turn the blower on, within about 3-5 minutes the breaker will pop.

I put it in service mode and manually recreated spa mode, the breaker never pops. The blower ran 30 minutes, heater cycled on and off.

I put it back in auto mode (not in service), put it to spa mode, turn it all on, and the breaker pops.

Then, I put it in pool mode, turn the heater on to the pool, but also turn the blower on to the spa, and nothing ever pops! The blower ran 30 minutes again.

It sounds like something’s wrong with the controller? (easy touch).

It could be the start up current of everything turning on at once. When you do it manually, there is a sequence you are going through and it does not trip. The CB could be going bad and that initial start up load is tripping it. Remove the blower from the automation start up to see if it trips. If it does not, then turn on blower manually by pressing button on automation - (assumption is that you are operating through your phone app).
