Pump Circuit Breaker Tripping overnight

The one from Lowes will work. HD has them as well.

seems like lowes item number is Model #QF220P and HD Model #US2:QF220AP . i am guessing its the same. i rather order from lowes since i have a coupon.

@ajw22 or anyone else what are your thoughts on the seal around the pump circuit board / power? could that be cause of moisture and tripping . i can lube it a little to see.

Did you already swap the breaker? A faulty GFCI breaker is not out of the realm of possibility.

No I haven’t yet I just ordered one should have it tomorrow. If it’s still happening then I can return double pole and break up pumps on two separate breakers.

There’s an outside chance that the 30amp has lost its resistance capability, but prob not. Since your pool is pretty new, so is the breaker. the breaker kept tripping bc of the outlets. So, the new 30amp will eventually succumb to the same prob…you should monitor your daily RH and see at what % makes the breaker trip?

Does your nbor thst had the same issue have a variable speed pump too? You did state he had his pump on an outlet, but i don’t recall what type of pump
