Default Wiring for A Whirlpool Bath

Dave Plowman (News) wrote:

I plan to instal the bath by running and RCD protected Fused Spur
(Screwfix 14770) from one of the sockets located in my lounge (small
flat). I will then have a pull cord located in the bathroom or wall
mounted switch in a cupboard next door which will sit between the
bath's pump and the FCU. Is there any problems with doing this?



This is how my brother's one was installed by a good pro electrician and
conformed to the instructions with it.


My mum's also - but then again it is on a 3A fuse in the FCU. It would
be a very different matter if the bath included electric heating. (my
mum's one uses a continous slow feed of hot water to temper the air
being pumped in - but I can see the case for using eletric heating for
this instead).
