Dart pump tripping gfi outlet
I have a dart pump I think may be going bad.
I also have a neptune Apex controller that I use and it reads my amperage draw for each eb8 I have. I noticed my amperage shoots up to 11.6 for one bar that controls the pump in question. Then drops back down to 6.6 at times. Very frustrating that a tripped gfi kills my pump, heaters, and T5 light fixture. I have 4 empty outlets on the eb8. What is causing the Dart to increase amperage ? any help appreciated.

Motors, and ballasts are known to trip gfi outlets on start up. Is it tripping while running or at start up??
Is your return just a straight shot of pvc, or does it have any extra devices? |
