I don't think I've ever seen a hot tub take a 20a breaker, the only ones I've worked with take 50A DP GFCI breakers. Is this for a whirlpool tub inside the house?

I hope it is his hot tub and that he is not doing a 'favour' for a friend

I like the little joke at the end.....'are you an electrician' very good, very funny! Sarcasm at its best
