Hi everyone, thanks in advance for reading and trying to help in any way.
I own a Beachcomber model 380 hot tub since 2014 (zero issues until now).
Last week, I drained the hot tub in preparation for a fresh fill. However, we got hit with torrential rain lasting all week. The stairs that cover the motor area was (very stupidly) partially uncovered. Never thought much of it, filled tub and now the breaker trips every time I try and turn it on.
I eventually unplugged the Circ pump from the board and the breaker did not trip. I tried blowing compressed air inside the connectors and reinstalling - but the breaker again kept tripping. I don't feel like I should open the Circ/Hush pump itself.
Question now is, do I simply need a new Circ pump, or could the connection just have some moisture inside that needs drying out. I've attached some pictures in hopes someone has insight for me. I think I know the answer - I need a new Hush Pump. I'm just going through the grieving process here.
Thanks again so much!
