    No, you must use a GFI breaker.

    You can go this route though: Spa Disconnect GFCI Load Center, 240V up to 60A

    I read this as being a bath tub whirlpool. A spa disconnect would be very convenient if it is.

    Ace, is this a spa/hot tub, or is it a bath tub?

    I have definitely seen 240v-20A bath tub heaters and motors.
    I have never seen a 240v-20A hot tub.

    I also am not trying to imply that I have seen it all either. :p ;)

    I am talking about a whirlpool bath tub. I guess that just because I haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.LOL:D
