    Hot tub install advice

    A customer of mine has recently had a 20a hot tub installed by a third party company. They have fitted a 32a rotary isolator but its located 300mm away from the hot tub. Circuit is protected by a rcd and would not be easy to relocate. Is this totally against regs?

    Hot tub query for installation.
