face72,
I'm an electrician, and you should definately plug it into a GFCI outlet, but what Theo said is the best idea. Never rely on a safety device, it is there for protection, but it can become faulty. The best idea would be to unplug the pump anytime you go in the water. Just think of it this way, you wouldn't throw a toaster in the bathtub with you even if it was plugged into a GFCI outlet, right?
