The pool light is legal with a GFI controlling it. But can I tap that circuit to run to the indoor spa motor. I looked up the specs for the spa motor and it does call for a 15a separate circuit. What if I disconnected the pool light. Or could I leave it connected as long as the customer never used them at the same time. If she did, worse case, it might just trip the breaker.
Bottom line is it legal to use a properly sized 15a circuit to run to loads, (each 15a), as long as they aren't used at the same time.
Example: I've seen R/V outlets on the inside and out side of a garage on the same circuit. But never to be used at the same time.
You said that you read the specs of the tub and it calls for a circuit of its own. You have answered your own question.
Read 110.3 (B) of the NEC and you will find that the tub CAN NOT be on the circuit with the pool light or anything else.
