My spa was hooked up back in the 1980's, simpler times. It had a 40 A, 240 V circuit (4-wire) leading to the spa. The spa power pack had (still has) a GFI that protects the 120 V circuits (pump low speed, air pump, light), but not the 240 V heater.
Last year I had the circuit upgraded to current code. So, I now have a spa disconnect, located 15 feet away from the spa, that includes a GFI. This GFI protects the entire 240 volt circuit.
My question: is the 120 V GFI located under the spa now redundant? Still needed? Better off without it?
I know this isn't an electrical board, but, I usually get better answers here than on the specialty boards
