I have a 10ft above ground pool. New electrical panel was just installed and I'm trying to get a heater working. I've tried both of the two heaters below (one at a time):
www.amazon.com/dp/B09983WFKQ
www.amazon.com/dp/B07XC58V5K
Both of them immediately trip the breaker not when the breaker is flipped "on" but when the heater element kicks on. They are being wired (again only one at a given time) to a brand new 20a GFCI breaker:
www.lowes.com/pd/Siemens-QP-20-Amp-2-Pole-GFCI-Circuit-Breaker/50195863
The breaker appears to be installed per manufacturer's requirements (neutral pigtail to box neutral which is not bonded to the ground at this panel, heater hooked up to the 2 load lines and ground but not the load neutral on the breaker - neither heater utilizes a neutral).
Thoughts on what I should check next?
Thanks!
