I am working on an addition and am installing a whirlpool tub. The tub requires 2 - 20 amp GFCI protect circuits: 1 for the pump and 1 for the heater. I ran 12/3 wire in the walls thinking I could have the BLACK wire go from 1 GFCI breaker to the pump outlet and the RED wire go from a 2nd GFCI breaker to heater outlet. What I failed to realize at the time was I only have 1 white neutral wire that would need to go to 2 GFCI Breakers.
Questions:
#1 Could I have the 1 white wire split in the electric panel and go to each of the GFCI breakers?
#2 I have seen 20 AMP Double Pole GFCI Breakers. Would this solve my problem?
My electric panel is a Cutler Hammer BR Box.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

#3 Someone I spoke to suggested another option.
Use a normal double pole breaker in the electric box. In the bathroom have the 12/3 wire run to a new double-gang box that is accessible (outside the tub). Here, use 2 GFCI Blank Face Receptacles (black to one, red to the other, share the neutral). Then run 2 sets of 12/2 wire from the 2 GFCI Blank Face receptacles to the outlets under the tub for the for the pump and heater.
