No, but what is recommended around a hot water tank is insulation. The warmer that you can keep the tank the more money you will save on water heating costs. For a very reasonable cost you can purchase these HWT blankets to cover the tank with. Over a year the money saved on heating water will payback the cost of the blanket.

Why does my gas water heater need to be hooked up to a 30 amp breaker with 220 volts?

A gas water heater doesn't use electricity to heat water like an electric water heater does. The electrical connection is typically for powering the ignition system or other electronic components on the gas water heater. The 30 amp breaker with 220 volts is required to safely supply power to these components.

Is a GFCI breaker required for an electric pool heater?

I'm not positive but, as far as I know, one is required on a 120V heater but not on a 220V heater. Even if a GFCI isn't required I would install one anyway for the safety of your family and friends. These devices do work and are well worth the cost. Call a Professional... Either a GFCI outlet or a GFCI breaker, and I think I'd use the GFCI outlet because the reset on an outlet is closer to the pool than the breaker would be. But put it far enough away from the pool that you've got to get out to reset it. I think that's code; if it's not it should be.
