Circuit braker keep popping

Sounds like the heating element has gone out again. Once you reset the circuit breaker and the tub turns on it will start to circulate the water. This usually runs like this for about 2 mins and then the tub will recognize it is cold and send power to the heater. If the element is back at that point it will blow the circuit breaker.
If this circuit breaker pops as soon as you turn it on then you most likely have a bad circuit board.

What's youI just wired in my J-300 Jacuzzi hot tub. The GFI trips every time I reset it. I took the GFI out of the equation and the tub runs fine, does not trip the breaker at the main breaker box

#1. DO NOT GET INTO TUB FULL OF WATER WITH A GROUND FAULT.
2. There is a short. You need to get multimeter and start checking each part for current running to ground wire.
3) Power is ON. Connect power without GFCI.
4) Tape tester leads to wood sticks to keep hands away from power.
5) Do not touch anything directly or you will become the ground rod.
6) Ground wire must be present, and bonded back to main panel box.
7) Do not sit or touch directly on cement or bare ground. Do not touch or lean into anything made of metal.
8) Body and parts must be on sheet of plywood, or similar non-conductive dry surface.
9) Test each part with spa, but also test electric line coming from main box.
10) GFCI will also trip with any fault detected on line. So the wire coming to spa may have the fault.
11) Add a new dedicated line from main box to spa.

I have a Jacuzzi Hot tub and it flashes OH. I was told to drain it and flush with cleaner and install a new filter which I did. It was good for about a week then it flashed OH again. I took the filter out...

I don't ever use any cleaner other than vinegar and warm water in the jacuzzi tub due to certain chemicals which could cause problems with the breaking down of pipe glue and other o-rings and the pump sealed bearings itself...............I would run it with vinegar again for 15min which is safe to you and your family but it may be breaking down and wearing out depending on the age............Hope this helps.

The circut board was replaced everything powers up lights jets the digital display all program functions to program filtering cycle.while running operation seems normal.after aprox.from start of system to...

Do you have a model and serial number so i can spec components and a diagram?
The reset is a GFCI electrical or a high limit temperature switch?
If its a GFCI you have a leak or a short or the pump is drawing to many amps likely due to something in the impeller or plumbing restricting flow. Potentially its a shaft seal issue.
How hot is the tub when it trips? Try running it cold and see if it trips. If it doesnt and its still cold its the pump. If its hot and you set it to cold its a stuck relay or contactor or triac and therefore tripping a high limit switch.
If this is a hot tub/spa the pressure switch may be an issue. It shuts down the heat typically and keeps the pumps running.
If a reset switch of any type is tripped to many times it will continue to trip at a lower and lower value.
Just some tips, hope they help. Get back to me with some info.

The hottub keeps kicking the circuit breaker off.

Either the breaker is bad or you have an electrical problem. Unless you know how to work with electrical problems call for service. If you unplug the hot tub and plug a lamp or hair dryer into the outlet does the breaker trip? If yes, call an electrician. If the outlet is fine call for service on the hot tub.

My hot tub pump is getting loud. And if placed on high I can smell a burning smell, so obviously not being used. I've left it on to keep it heating and the plumber is scheduled for this week. However...

It sounds like the bearings have gone bad in the jet pump. A shaft seal leak will sometimes let water get into the bearings and the motor will get louder and louder. Running it on high can intensify the noise and heat created by bad bearings. Eventually, the bearings will seize and the motor will try to turn and since it can't, it will get really hot. The motor has built in high limits to keep from burning up completely but it will smell like it's burning. I would replace the pump motor and seal, should take care of the problem. The OH may have been caused by the pump not moving enough water to run the heater and tripped the heaters high temp sensor. I hope this helps.
