hi,
thanks for the reply. the equipment i need to use is on hand.

i was just concerned about the code rule requiring a DISCONNECT within sight of the SPA/HOT TUB, and whether the feeder for this had to be a gfci breaker?

i think i will end up installing a sub panel below the meter with main lugs, then off a breaker at the panel into pvc over to the detached garage up and over and down to a 40A recept. feed the receptacle with a 40A GFI Breaker..

i beleive that would be the most economical way?

anybody see any problem with this?

thanks

frodo
