Thats ok Gerry…I dont know S**t…Darren made that clear…I will stick to what I am good at…which is the wrong business…lol
P.S…Dave…YEP…BIT IT OFF…Ban me from the board…
I think there is a fundamental difference between “code” and what a home “evaluator” might point out.
The evaluator might also point out the house is close to a sewer plant or under the flight path of the airport and those may be very important to the customer but it isn’t “code”. Code inspectors do not do the same job. There is a vast difference between a minimum level of safety required by the government and pointing out everything that might bother a customer down the road.
This is probably more apparent in a new construction home than in an old home. It should be at current code but there can still be some things that will drive the new owner bonkers once they move in.
I am sure more will use my advise…
no need for a paragraph of crap back at ya.
…
And FYI I never even commented about any Outlets or Switchs here just a circuit to a Spa… which can’t have any outlets on it…or wait do I need a code # here for ya? should my laywer review my post before I submit…:mrgreen:
Chill out,
DUDE
Actually I agree a spa/whirlpool should be on a dedicated GFCI protected circuit, and that it’s required by model codes.
Most bathrooms are wired from a single circuit, and there are typically at least 2 bathrooms wired together (at least around here). NEC 210.11.C.3 and 210.23.A-Exception can be read that no equipment (including a spa/whirlpool) can then be connected to that circuit.
Also, most spa/whirlpool tub manufacturers require it to have a dedicated circuit, which would then be required by NEC 110.3.B. It also wouldn’t be very practical to significantly upsize all the bathroom wiring from the increased breaker size required for the added spa/whirlpool circuit load.
In addition, any switches or receptacles (including the switch or cord plug attachment used for a spa/whirlpool tub disconnect) must be at least 5’ away from the spa/whirlpool tub, but with a certain distance … per NEC Article 680, including 680.41 and 680.43
JMO and 2-nickels … 
Lol…Actually I had a reply but you know I removed it…YOU are not worth it…continue to post your options versus FACT all you wish Darren…
When someone wants to REALLY know how a GFCI works and WHY your claim is not nearly a RISKY venture as you make it out…I am sure they will ask…Joe, Jeff, Greg or Bob…
Sounds like you might have some personal issues. I hope you get them worked out. relax
…its not MY claim, but is code in my area.
lol…nope…no issues…but I think you may have some…quite a few actually…
Calm down guys…
