Your new spa’s GFCI will trip.

A Ground Fault Interrupter (GFCI) Trip Test must occur to 

allow proper spa function.

Spas that come with MXBP20 and MXBP501 control sys-

tems come with special instructions for the installer/

electrician. If they have not already advised you on what 

to do or expect from the GFCI Trip Test, please contact 

them for instructions.  

If the GFCI breaker connected to your spa trips, this is 

normal behavior. Please reset the breaker and enjoy 

your spa. The trip test has been completed successfully.

If your spa was not wired to a GFCI breaker or your 

breaker fails the GFCI Trip Test, the spa will repeatedly 

attempt (at preset intervals) to trip the breaker in the fu-

ture until such time that it triggers a GFCI Trip. If a GFCI 

does not trip properly, your spa’s display will show an 

error message.

GFCI breakers are important safety devices required by 

code for your hot tub.  For more information, refer to the 

MXBP20 and MXBP501 sections of this manual or your 

local dealer.
