GFI for whirlpool tub
wrote in message
...
I am installing a whirlpool bathtub.The instructions say I have to
plug the pump into a 15a 110v seperate circuit protected with GFCI,
and the heater into a 15a 110v seperate circuit protected with gfci.I
take it I have to run wires to my main service box.I notice that gfci
circuit breakers are very expensive.Can I just install regular circuit
breakers and hook them up to gfci sockets by my bathtub.
Thanks
Won't pass inspection, although you may not have it inspected if you DIY.
But it is an item that a house inspector would spot in a second if you go to
sell the house. And if there's ever a short without a GFI, the house may be
up for sale by the heirs.
