Reeflo Pump tripping breaker
I have a brand new Hammerhead that I started on my new system about 4 days ago. It has run just fine since then...until tonight, when it tripped the GFI outlet it's plugged into. I've tried to restart it on that outlet, and another nearby (on a different circuit) and it's tripping them both. There is less than 300 watts running on either of these circuits. Any idea why this new pump will not restart?

Might be a short have you checked the wires to see if they have gotten wet or salt spray on them?
What else is on the circuit? My hammerhead draws abround 4 amps. Is the circuit overloaded? Also not all GFI's are alike some trip sooner than others
