You do have that panel de energized right?

Think you are/were correct.
I *think* what he told me was that the right breaker (20A) was servicing the lights and 110V hottub.

Left breaker might have had nothing connected and GFI nothing connected.

He wired the 220V into the 50A GFI.

Not all spas require a neutral wire. Local codes will dictate if you need a GFI regardless, even though it will only work as a regular breaker. I'm not an electrician... but I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last night!

If that 20 is feeding the hot tub, it needs to have a GFCI breaker or a GFCI at the other end (as where the hot tub plugs in). Should a short occur and a person has become the ground or the neutral, a standard breaker will see you as a "load" and will not trip until enough current is passing through the body for there to be an overload which will usually be higher than 20 amps.

You really want to verify that GFI in that circuit.

And yes... Holiday Inn Express has a great hot tub and pool!

I'm in the hot tub, send over beer. If you feed me enough beer... at some point, I might actually shut up(pass out)!

PS, That 6' rule on the timer is a pisser when no one wants to get out of the water to turn it back on!

Thanks guys.

I believe he rewired so that the new 220V spa runs off the GFCI double pole .

I think the old 110V spa ran off that 20A circuit. Now its just the exterior landscape
lights.
