Can the GFI supplying the Requirements for pool. Be on the same circuit as the pool filter.?

Also, Do you need a switch to shut off the timer for servicing utiliziation equipment .
 
I am confused by your question. In my mind the filter doesn't have power to it. Are you asking if the pool motor can share a circuit with other circuits that require gfci?
 
I don't think you are allowed to use a clock timer as a disconnect -- you could be unlucky and have the clock come on while you are working on the pump. I'd install a positive disconnect or put the breaker panel for the pool equipment within site of everything you service.

There are multiple GFCI circuits required for pools. Some could perhaps share things, but the circulation pump and filter needs to be a dedicated circuit unless its a really small pump (less than 10A on a 20A circuit). A pool lighting and general purpose receptacle circuit may be able to be on the same circuit if using a GFCI breaker.
