Power Problems with GFI

[SuperFudge]

I could be wrong here,but i think most GFI`s are at about a 10 amp capacity.....you may be slightly over that....

These are rough guesses,
-M/H about 3.5 amps
-combined powerheads(skimmer included)1 amp?
-actinic ballast 1.5-2 amps?
-heater .5 amp?
-tv-vcr combo 3 amps?

Im no electrician so please take this with a grain of salt(preferably I/O [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img])

Mine will do the same thing,i have a pump that draws about 9.5 amps on a gfi,if i shut the flow off,the pump seems to draw more amps or heat up the gfi to the point of popping.

Id try pulling a few items off there,such as the t.v. and vcr....even the heater too.
