Default Re: Hot Tubs & 16th

I normally put a rotary isolator on a nearby wall (or post if away from walls), but out of reach of the tub itself (about 1.5m plus). I then put a tail from the isolator to hard wire into the tub - no sockets anywhere.

Are you the supplier of the tub? If so, simply refuse to install the tub until the socket is removed. If the customer 'has a go' simply state that you "have reason to believe the wiring does not conform to BS7671 and Part P" - you don't need to explain yourself.

You could try calling the NIC or ELECSA tech help for advice if you want an independant view.
