GFCI circuit for 110v 20 amp hot tub question

Nov 20, 2008 2 Replies

Hello, I just picked up a used Hot Springs spa that is 110v 20amp. It has had the original GFCI plug cut off and replaced with a standard plug. I am setting the spa up in my garage and plan to share the receptical for my washing machine that is on a 20amp breaker. (Won't be running them at the same time). I am wondering if I can use a GCFI adapter in between the cord and outlet. The spa has 2 breakers on the control box already. Just want to be safe. Thanks for any help.


I would replace the GFCI plug.

Perhaps see if this is the right one.. It mentions Hot Springs...

PS I have to wonder why the old one was cut off? Perhaps because it kept tripping out due to a fault? Take care now.
