    Larry I had all these GFI Plugs Already, so I chose to just use them. Had I had to buy them you betcha. Would of been 1 per box. $$$ 11.00 A Plug. Ooch! Used 6 all across like this, 2 per box , each has 20 Amp dedicated circuit. If one goes it only effects those two plugs, other wired hot (6 seperate circuits). It is alot of protection can say overkill!! When I bought my house the contractor left a box full of electrical stuff. Freebies I Guess.. Knew I might use them someday.

    If the box has 4 plugs, two double GFCI's with a dedicated 20amp line per box, then you will have to bring the second plug connections from the same side as the incoming wire to have it work like that. Otherwise, if your incoming wires are to one side of the first GFCI and then off the second set of terminals on the other side to the next one, if the first one in the circuit blows, all 4 outlets go off.

    Each one is wired to the Hot , Neutral, & Ground. They were installed by a friend of mine( electrician by trade). He had a GFCI Tester I played with it a bit. Each Double plug only trips itself. I Like this better than just one GFCI One trips it all. Thought it be little safer this way in regards to each appliance. I like being able to easily isolate a faulty circuit.

    New Pics With Unions. Still need 3 More Unions, 2 more bulkheads. Unions made this abit easier to plumb, little more time but worth it I can see. Unions were 1.90 Solvent 4.00 Threaded. Went with solvent. Also fired up the Tunze Stream. Installed the Multi controller W/ One Stream. Look at this Wave!!!! :-D 80% From 40%. Hope the pic shows justice for this. Another will be on the opposite side..
