That is a 50amp gfi breaker for a 3wire sauna application. Your hot tub was actually 240v not two 120's. If you look at the tub, you are only hooking up two hots and a ground. By hooking that curly pigtail white wire(a dead giveaway for gfi), you are not providing a true neutral to the panel, only completing the circuit for the gfi portion of the breaker. Ditch the gfi breaker and run a true 4 wire connection(2 hots, neutral, and ground to a double 50a breaker.
