I am preparing to wire a whirlpool tub (no heater, 1/2 hp) and I have a couple of questions:
1. The instructions call for a dedicated 12/2 feed which is what I will do. Can I use regular romex under the tub or should I use an exterior type in case of wetness?
2. GFI: Should I use a receptacle to plug in under the tub, or use the GFI at the panel, or both? I suppose I prefer to use the breaker so I can hard wire and seal everything under the tub.
I also plan on wiring the tub to a wall switch so the kiddies can't mess with the jets during a bubble bath.
Thanks.
