[QUOTE="MikeFloutier, post: 555498, member: 32172"] Hi Guys, I’m the OP; I simply left the existing 40A MCB in place and for 6 or 7 years all was fine. Gradually though, after that time, the MCB started tripping. Very occasionally at first but gradually more frequently, over the last year or so. It’s come to a head as we’ve got guests, In a couple of weeks, who will be using it, possibly when we’re not around 😂 I’ve noticed it only trips with my wife, not me. She uses the “Airboost” feature, which employs a pump, whereas I don’t. I guessing this makes the difference. My plan is to replace the 40A MCB with a new one of the same rating. Just really posting for completeness’ sake Kind regards, Mike. [/QUOTE]
