My understanding is that code now requires a GFCI on hardwired
residential pool pumps? *I'm going to be doing some modification work

mechanical timer. * *It will be inspected and AFAIK, this means I need
to replace the existing breaker with a GFCI, correct? *Pumps in

Correct, it use to be that GFCI protection was only required with cord and
plug connections. Nec 680.22B, now requires GFCI protection regardless of
connection method
Thanks much RBM for the quick answer. I guess that's another $100
out the window.
