Ensuring That Your Hot Tub Is Properly Installed with GFCIs

Hot tubs are very enjoyable for family, friends, and neighbors to gather after a long day, but only if the tubs are secured from electrical problem. One terrible scenario that can often occur in hot tubs which have not been set up by skilled electricians is that an unsuspecting person experiences a deadly shock of electrocution. This happens when the tub has not been properly fitted with the necessary ground fault circuit interrupter (otherwise known as a known as GFCI). The National Electrical Code has made it imperative to have GFCIs securely installed for any hot tub to avoid tragic accidents, or even fatalities. 

Speak to skilled technicians for rapid troubleshooting if you ever notice that:

• The GFCI breaker for your hot tub does not correctly trip after you push the testing button, or only gets slightly warm
• The GFCI breaker for your hot tub will appropriately trip after you push the testing button, but continues to stay scorching hot long after
• The GFCI breaker for your hot tub may trip, but does not actually end up resetting the correct level of power
