hot tub 30 amp image
WhizKid
the run of wiring is 95% indoor (about 30 ft), and only a short distance will be run outdoor to the tub (the outdoor portion will be placed in a conduit)
Answer
#6 AWG copper is rated for 65 amps or #4 AWG aluminum.
Hot tubs are very tricky. Be sure you use a GFCI breaker. There needs to be a disconnect outside near the hot tub (not less than 5 feet away). There are many other issues regarding lighting fixtures and receptacles near the hot tub. If you are unsure of the requirements, check with your local building inspector. I highly recommend an inspection by either the electrical inspector or a local licensed electrical contractor before using the hot tub.
Water and electricity do not mix. Be sure to turn off the power before working on any circuits and verify that the power is off with a voltmeter.

Answer
Most water heaters have a plug, if it doesn't the breaker for a standard water heater is usually a 30 amp 2 pole breaker (the larger ones, double size) If it is not marked you can try shutting off each 30 amp breaker. Other things in your home that could have a 30 amp breaker are your drier or a/c unit so you can turn them off one at a time and try the other appliances and by process of elimination you should find it.
