Last night my GFCI blew on the outlet my apex is on and turned off my main pump, heater, ect.

luckily I caught it quickly this morning and turned it back on.

I am looking at my amp's which I normally top off at 5. Last night I had peaks close to 75 :eek:

I am just wondering what happened?

I personally don't think those amp values are correct.
Reason: 1. Your circuit is most likely 20a or max 25a.
2. Apex e8 power strip itself has a fuse of 20A.
If somehow your system was drawing 75A, you would have blown the fuse in the strip and your breaker tripped on main panel along with gfi reset.
I would check the heaters for cracks or pumps for voltage leak.
Unplug all equipment from this strip.
Turn on the app and monitor the amps as you plug each hardware 1 by 1. Once you see a spike you will know what equipment is faulty. Reminder, app is not instant you need to refresh it or wait few secondo for it to show..
If you can log into apex via network on its ip address directly to its Web page that is more instant.

With the power outage issue in texas, my apex graph showed a max of 28.5 but also said max was 51.8 on a 4 outlet power bar.
