Fix hot tub flipping GFCI plug every time #30

Closed tas50 closed 6 years ago

tas50 commented 6 years ago

From some searching online it appears that the heating element is bad since the startup sequence does a test fire of the heater.

[x] Acquire replacement heater element (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M7T4E95/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
[ ] Buy silicon sealant
[x] Install new heating element
[ ] Optional: throw the stupid hot tub in the trash

Turns out silicon sealant is wrong according to Marquis. Just cleaned all the old goop off the threads and seals. Crossing fingers that's a tight seal.

Heating element is back in, but system is not getting a prime on the pump and now it throwing an overheat code. So much fun

Found bleeder valve in the motor and purged the air. Hot tub is now properly primed and heating element is on w/o tripped GFCI. Fixed
