My GFCI is about 3 years old so I don't think it is the problem but could be told differently. Was having a problem with my old sump setup where when I would do water changes water would splash out of my overflow when I closed off the ball valves. not a lot, but enough for a few dribbles to run down some cords and trip the gfci. At least that is what I think was happening.
So this weekend I put a new sump in and redid the pvc pipes and cleaned up the wiring so everything has drip loops now. Can't find any leaks. don't notice any water anywhere. Apex shows my max current draw with everything running is 3.9 amps.
GFCI tripped saturday night so display lights were off. Tripped again during the day today and heater was off and sump light was off. So I think I can rule out those 3. ATO pump was off. only common things running are the powerheads and return pump and the apex.
I can't run without the return pump so I guess I will restart everything and remove 1 powerhead at a time to see if it keeps happening.
Anyone else have any other suggestions? Just ordered a titanium ground probe as I hadn't heard of that before and want the fail safe.
