That's probably a bit of generic advice to cover themselves. However you really should get a sparks round to look at it. It will definitely require Rcd protection in line somewhere, a qualified expert will tell you what you requireHi,
I've just purchased a lazy spa for my daughter. I thought it was a case of 'plug & go' but on reading the instructions, it says
'It is recommended to arrange for a qualified electrician to connect the spa pump to an equipotential (WTF?) bonding terminal using a minimum 2.5mm2 solid copper conductor ??
Does anybody know if this is necessary and what the likely cost will be? Thanks in advance .

No probs. Your external supply to the jacuzzi must be protected at source in accordance with current regs. Sure the sparks will let you know what you require.Cheers, i have a electrician calling on Monday.

Really? Current regs say exporting a PME system to the jacuzzi is a must?No probs. Your external supply to the jacuzzi must be protected at source in accordance with current regs. Sure the sparks will let you know what you require.
Depends on how it's wired & in what type of cable. Rcd protection is a must for all sockets in a dwelling & has been for a number of years. It's advisable to ensure ALL circuits are rcd protected in a dwelling, but that is subject to certain parameters, i.e. When the house was wired, when was the consumer unit fitted etc. Suffice to say, Rcd protection is a must.Really?

/edit sorry, maybe misread. I assume youre advising on his rcd plug and not the "'bonding'" then? Though i don't know why ' at source'.?
