Connect incoming power to the line side of GFCI outlet and plug Jacuzzi into the outlet. Must be on a dedicated circuit. If it has a pump and heater then each one must be on dedicated GFCI protected circuit.

How do you wire an outdoor timer into a GFCI outlet?
I assume you are hard wiring it and not plugging it in. The power coming into the GFCI outlet connects to the line side of the GFCI outlet. If you want the outdoor timer protected by the GFCI then connect the wire going to the timer to the load side of the outlet. If you do not want the timer protected then connect it to the line side. On the back of the GFCI if you look closely you will see Line & Load marked on the back.
Do you need a gfci outlet if you have a gfci breaker?
Not if the GFCI breaker is supplying the circuit you are wanting to put the GFCI receptacle into.
What kind of breaker should I use for a 1250 Botany Jacuzzi Tub?
You use the correct size breaker that matches the wiring. The correct amperage will be listed in the owners manual for the tub.
Can a circuit with a GFCI be shared at the box?
Your question is a bit vague, but let's try a two part answer. If you have a GFCI breaker in an electric panel you should only have one connection at the breaker, but the breaker will protect all devices on the circuit. If you are talking about a GFCI outlet, they are equipped to extend the GFCI protection to other non-GFCI outlets by using the proper "output" connection on the GFCI.
Are gfci plugs required in a bathroom?
Deoends on code you are governed by. In USA, a GFCI outlet or a circuit controlled by a GFCI circuit breaker would be required.
Will mixing 12 gauge wiring with 14 gauge wiring cause a gfci to trip?
no it will only decrease the current carrying capability

What is a jacuzzi suite?

Why does the reset button on a wall outlet pop out when something is plugged into it?
Assume this is a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet. The GFCI looks for current that is flowing to ground, in a manner that could result in electrical shock to a user. The appliance that is being plugged in could be defective, the wiring connected to the load side of the GFCI may be incorrect, or the GFCI outlet could be defective. Try using another appliance. If the GFCI holds, the first appliance is most likely the cause.

Where shouldn't you use a gfci?
Since GFCI's are more expensive, you wouldn't want to use them in any place where they are not required. In many old homes, GFCI's are sometimes used for outlets in bedrooms and living rooms where proper grounding is necessary (for computers, TV's, other electronics), but not available because of the age of the wiring. You would also want to avoid cramming a GFCI into a box that is too small to accommodate the bulkier GFCI outlet. You should first replace the box to a larger one.

Can you use a GFCI plug into a GFCI outlet?
Yes you can. Lots of blow dryers have GFCI protection built in.
What happens when you plug a GFCI protected extension cord into an outlet that is GFCI protected?
In a word NO, that will not cause either GFCI to trip. The correct term is GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter)
