I was at an electrical store looking for a timer for a whirlpool tub that I am installing. When speaking with one of the employees he made mention of a separate ground wire that needs to be run in addition to the grounding wire in the 14/2 line. I went to Kohler's website for the specs on the tub I am getting and it makes no reference of running a separate ground wire. It says that the tub comes with a cord and plug that gets plugged into a standard oulet that is on a 15 amp GFCI circuit. Am I missing something here? I see no reason to have a separate grounding wire when you already have one with a GFCI circuit breaker. My township uses the 'National Electric Code 2003' for approved codes.
