pool heater and gfci

azhomeowner
14 years ago

We had a pool heater installed a few years ago and we just noticed that it is not on a gfci circuit. Similarly, the pool is not on a gfci circuit. Both "appliances" are located more than 10 feet from the pool. The pool lights (which are much lower amps) are on gfci. All three are hard wired. Could anyone confirm that it is OK to not have gfci on the pool and the pool heater? Thanks so much for your help.
