A GFCI is an important safety device and is required equipment on a hot tub installation.
Your spa may be equipped with a GFCI Protection feature. (UL rated systems only.) If your spa has this feature enabled by the manufacturer, the
GFCI Trip Test must occur to allow proper spa function.
Within 1 to 7 days after startup, the spa will trip the GFCI to test it. (The number of days is factory programmed.) The GFCI must be reset once it has
tripped. After passing the GFCI Trip Test, any subsequent GFCI trips will indicate a ground fault or other unsafe condition and the power to the spa
must be shut off until a service person can correct the problem.

Forcing the GFCI Trip Test
The installer can cause the GFCI Trip Test to occur sooner by initiating it using the above menu.
The GFCI should trip within a few seconds and the spa should shut down. If it does not, shut down the power and manually verify that a GFCI
breaker is installed and that the circuit and spa are wired correctly. Verify the function of the GFCI with its own test button. Restore power to the spa
and repeat the GFCI Trip Test.
Once the GFCI is tripped by the test, reset the GFCI and the spa will operate normally from that point. You can verify a successful test by navigating
to the above menu. PASS should appear after a temp button is pressed from the GFCI scree.
The end-user must be trained to expect this one-time test to occur and how to properly reset the GFCI.
Warning:
If freezing conditions exist, a GFCI should be reset immediately or spa damage could result. The end user should always be
trained to test and reset the GFCI on a regular basis.
