Possibly. If it's a hot water radiator part of your home heating network, then no worries. If it is an electric heater, you run the risk of shorting the heater if the internals get wet. This damages the heater and can cause a shock. If you have a GFI plug in the bathroom (a plug with a little reset button on it) you reduce the risk of shock, but damage to the unit can still occur. If it is a gas heater, you must have good ventillation (an open window will not be enough) otherwise you will fill up the bathroom with exhaust fumes, making it difficult to remain alive for extended periods of time. Simply put, don't put an external heater in a bathroom.
That's no problem.
Yes, it can.Our bathroom GFI trips, when my wife uses one particular hair drier.
Make sure that all electrical outlets in the bathroom are grounded to prevent electrical shock. When in doubt, consult an electrician and have a GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) outlet installed.
If your spa is connected with a GFCI circuit breaker you will not need the GFCI receptacle.
Use the link below to look at a Laars manual to see if one is included.
99% it is a defective blockheater, it works like an element it shorts out & trips the GFI, i would also check the extension cord & if possible try a different plug, if it still trips, its the blockheater.
