Discuss hot tub in garage (diversity) in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

i'd not do it. i like polar bears too much.
 
So would any of you install this ..or tell customer he needs new supply

Yeah, as said in a previous post. Tap off the mains supply from the house with a switched fuse unit and supply it like that.
If they want it installed it can be done. There will be definitely be a little diversity to be applied, it won't take the full whack.

Yes I don't see the problem that you are obviously seeing
The only issue the customer may have is when it is first filled or filled after a clean which only happens around once every 6 months with the quantity of water specified heaters could be running for couple of days or more to get up to temperature. My mates hottub takes around 1600 litres of water and takes around 18 - 24 hours to get from cold tap temperature to 40°C after a full clean.
The key to low energy use with a hottub is to keep it covered when it is not being used so the heat isn't being lost and keep the pH and chemical levels right so the water changes are kept to a minimum
The insulation on hottubs is quite good and with a cover on lose very little heat as an example a few years ago my mates tub developed a fault the outside temperature at the time was between 2°C and -2°C after 48 hours with no heaters or pumps running the water temp had dropped from 40°C to 25°C

So the biggest problem is likely to be the customer not looking after the water or using the wrong chemicals, chlorine can be very aggressive on the components in a hottub
