Whenever the breaker trips, too much current is flowing.
It will trip until you correct the source of the problem.
Could be a short in the wiring, could be the water heater.
You need it checked by a professional.
Note: changing the breaker to a larger one, will just allow more current / too much current on the house wiring.
The wire ends up becoming the 'breaker', catching fire and burning the house down.
NEVER replace fuses or breakers with larger ones.
An insurance company could deny claims for damage, as they have incident inspectors who would find the inappropriate breaker.

verify the amp entice your retailers. Does any of your retailers have a GFCI? If it does, some thing is making the circuit holiday. verify each and each outlet. If the retailers look at, then a chew of your kit could be undesirable. verify the OHMs on all your motor leads.Use an OHM meter and place the contacts on the plug in prongs (no longer pluged in) no longer the floor. The analyzing on your meter must be "0". If it quite is a "a million" then the motor or different factors of this kit is undesirable! in case you do no longer recognize what the hell i'm speaking approximately, call a electrician. you will be able to desire to apply a dazzling AMP on your breakers additionally.

Did a five year old write this question?
I know how to find the problem but this guy will probably kill himself trying. Else he won't understand the English.
I count 13 errors in his question.

There is too much current in your new add-on. An electrician will re-route additional current through an extra breaker. Get it done professionally. It's worth it.
