    Hot Tub Wiring - GFCI
    I have a hot tub currently wired at my home in the following configuration:

    50amp breaker at the main panel to
    50 amp GFCI breaker mounted outside, on the house near tub to
    Spa main panel inside tub which has a 110v GFCI module.

    My issue is that sometimes when I kick on the heater while the pump is running, the 110 module will trip. But not always though.

    The question is, can I eliminate this 110v module because I'm ground fault protected by the 220v GFCI breaker mounted on the house? Is that accurate?

    Thanks for your help.

    I SERIOUSLY doubt it.

    That is also not likely a "120v" GFI module. It is most likely a faceless GFI with a current transformer behind it. They are typically used in 240v applications.

    The ONLY one who can accurately answer this is the spa manufacturer.
