    I need my 2 pole 50amp gfci breaker replaced but..
    I need my Siemens 2 pole 50 amp GFCI breaker replaced for my hot tub but what I bought didn't have the GFCI on it. This is for my hot tub and it's in a weatherproof closed electrical panel outside my home.

    Is the one I bought safe and OK to use?

    No. You must use a GFI.

    Why do you need to replace the one you have now?
