Indoor Spa Wiring

New postby Grendel1 on Mon Feb 15, 2010 3:28 pm

I have an indoor spa with the motor (120v) connected to a gfci outlet underneath the spa near the motor. The wall of the spa is enclosed with tile so anytime the gfci opens I need to cut the tile caulk out / remove a tile enclosed panel to get to the gfci outlet / reset the gfci / finally insert the tiles and re-caulk. Can I just remove the gfci outlet and connect the motor directly to a gfci breaker (20amp)? Does the spa need to be wired through a gfci outlet?
