Spa wiring

[StreamlineGT]

What do you think the feeder should be for this hot tub...... 2 wire or 3 wire? I have never done a hot tub before, so I am wondering about the GFCI breaker. Does it need a neutral to function?

Althought the GFCI breaker must have it's neutral connected it does not need a branch circuit neutral to operate. Doesn't look like this tub requires a neutral.

It says 240, but I would not trust that to save my life, especially if your pre-wiring for it, save yourself the headache and pull a 4 wire to the disconnect. Oh, by the way. I use this SPA disconnect, and it DOES require a neutral, so be careful either way....

Since electricity and water DO MIX very well I would install the 4th wire so you have a good ground. Most inspectors will be looking for that ground.

The 4th wire is not a ground.

No... it does not require a neutral to function.

Pull the neutral in case they put in a different spa someday that needs one.
