Hello, I just picked up a used Hot Springs spa that is 110v 20amp. It
has had the original GFCI plug cut off and replaced with a standard
plug. I am setting the spa up in my garage and plan to share the
receptical for my washing machine that is on a 20amp breaker. (Won't
be running them at the same time). I am wondering if I can use a GCFI
adapter in between the cord and outlet. The spa has 2 breakers on the
control box already. Just want to be safe.
Thanks for any help.

I would replace the GFCI plug.

Perhaps see if this is the right one.. It mentions Hot Springs...

PS I have to wonder why the old one was cut off? Perhaps because it kept
tripping out due to a fault? Take care now.
