Default Power Problems with GFI

Thanks for the information. My friend is an electrician so I will borrow his meter to read. the odd part is that it can't be the TV as the GFI blows with it off.

My 301's are only 6 months old, and the pup for the skimmer is 6 - 8 months. the lighting is 2 years old and the heater is brand new. The GFI blew before I purchased the new heater.

One question. If teh GFI blows once, does it become weaker and blow easier. Lastly, it never blows with the lights off, always during the day. I am thinking that it could be my power bar. I bought a cheap one and the other day when I was moving it around the GFI blew.

So I will check the water with a meter, make a new electrical box with 2 GFI's, get 2 new GOOD power bars and do some checking. Until I figure this out I will shut off the power to everything before putting my hands in.

Again thanks for all the help, I do not want to be a statistic.

Patrick
