Sorry I haven't been back to update y'all but I was hoping to a have a resolution before posting again. Our electrician came out at the beginning of February and got us switched out to 60 amp. One week later it killed the breaker, we couldn't get it to reset. Called Viking, the dealer they...

We replaced the 50 amp because the other breaker was so badly damaged, wanted to make sure that it wasn't something simple before we dive further into it. We talked about upgrading to the 60 amp while he was here so that is our next step. If, after we go to 60 amp, it continues to trip the...

I'll get your questions printed out and see if I can get them answered for you. It will probably be a few days before they can get back out here again.

Just got home and thought to check the hot tub before coming in the house and the breaker was tripped again. Looks like I'll be calling the electrician back and upgrading to a 60 amp. We've used it several times since the replacement and it has been working great. Heating and operating...

The electrician came today and he couldn't get a good read. He said they were "wonky readings". He went to pull the breaker out and it broke. One side looks like it had melted and was most likely arcing. He said is was probably just a bad breaker. He installed a new spa panel, different...

Yes, we have paperwork from the dealer that says 50 amp. We emailed copies of our paperwork to Viking and that is how we found out it was outdated. I have no idea what year the paperwork was from or it was even from Viking. It never crossed my mind to question the "experts". The...

The undersized breaker and wire is not the electrician's fault. They went off the information that was given by the authorized dealer. The hot tub was not on site when they did the work. And this is not a case of me misunderstanding what was required because we were given paperwork to show...

Just to clarify something real quick, when the breaker is kicking I am only calling for heat. Obviously, this means the heater, a pump and I assume the ozonator are running. No lights, no jet 2 and no speakers because we don't have them. I don't know if that makes a difference but wanted to...

So, after reading all that and not understanding most of it I'm thinking my best bet is to call the electrician and have them come out and check everything for me. Not only would it probably be safer but I think it will be quicker because they will know what the readings mean without me having...

I don't necessarily want it with as little hassle as possible, I do want it without spending too much money on fixes that don't work. And this has been going on since we bought the tub 2 years ago so getting anything done "now" has long passed. What I really want is a relaxing hot tub, that's...

So it seems that I need to get a clamp meter and test it myself. I'm handy enough but electrical makes me nervous so I don't usually do anything without specific instructions. I'm sure on the wire size. It is ran through the unfinished part of my basement so it's easy enough to see and...

The breaker that is tripping is near the hot tub. I'm not sure how many amps it's pulling because I don't know how to measure that. I'm assuming I need a clamp meter and I don't have one of those yet. I have no problem buying new tools if that's what I need. The disconnect is the spa panel...

We have a Viking Heritage 2 spa that has been nothing but trouble since we bought it. It constantly trips the 50 amp gfci breaker. According to our infrared thermometer the breaker itself is getting to temperatures of at least 140, it is definitely too hot to touch. When we bought the spa we...
