Does NEC allow the 20A bathroom circuit to be used for a Jacuzzi? The current 20A circuit feeds the bathrooms light (3A) and the bathrooms GFI outlet. The Jacuzzi motor is 3/4A, 7A.

Also is a seperate 15A circuit acceptable for 1a 1500W inline heater for the Jacuzzi. This is what the manufacturer recommends.
 
With a 3/4 hp motor the installation would be in violation of 210.23, in addition, most manufacturers require a dedicated circuit(s) for Jucuzzis.
A 15 amp circuit would be sufficient for the heater, and, again, 110.3 requires adherence to
manufacturers listing requirements.
(there is some argument as to such requirements being part of the "listng" but most AHJs require you to follow the instructions)
