The GFCI disconnect must be in line-of-sight of the tub, at least 5 feet away (and not directly above the water). We pick a code-compliant, weather-rated location.

Most repeated trips are a failed heater element, a moisture-damaged contactor, or a degraded GFCI. We isolate the cause and replace the failed component rather than just resetting it.
