Marty, there is a site for electrical and you will attract some of the electricians there but not here. We'll move you and I bet you get some great directions.

A spa wired from scratch is something ONLY a well seasoned DIYer or pro should even consider attempting. There is too much at stake. This is NOT a job to learn as you go.

I agree, not a job for someone who has not worked with 240 v. To answer your question try this Wiring a Hot Tub - Electrical Installation and Wiring Diagrams (http://www.spadepot.com/spacyclopedia/wiring-hot-tub-spa.htm?gclid=COO-qP3kq5ICFQpjHgod8yOrMw) Depending on your tubs requirements you'll likely need a 50 amp GFCI. Check at Home Depot and Lowe's, I think Square D makes a kit just for a spa.
