Wanted to use a switched fcu outside the bathroom in t&e but then maybe some flex from that going into the bathroom under the bath for a whirlpool ?

Actually this is a very good question. Reason I have wired a couple that had 2 16 amp supplys, one for the blowers and one for the heater. To be fair though they were considered large, the average whirlpool is 4 kw, also agree with hawkmoon and trev about ignoring the plumber and getting proper advice.Is the flex just suppling the pump for the blowers I take it there isn't a heater fitted as well.
Can you see why I gave you a bit of a bashing in the last thread now Dean when you were talking about a 10mm2 cable? good luck fella I am done here now, just be careful.The flex is connected to an ip rated box which has some components inside. this is where the supply is connected too. Board has 2 rcds covering 4 circuits each.
I know you can get heaters for whirlpool baths but didn't think they were no more than 1.5 kw and the pumps about 750w ( about 1 hp) now if your talking hottubs obvouisly thats a different beast altogether.Actually this is a very good question.

the exterior 8 birth spa's can actually require up to a 40 amp supply, the largest house one I have seen needed 2 16 amp supplys, usually a 4kw supply is adequate. It is unlikely a 13 amp spur will be adequate for Deans whirlpool, but you never know, hense the questioning he has had for the last 2-3 days lol.I know you can get heaters for whirlpool baths but didn't think they were no more than 1.5 kw and the pumps about 750w ( about 1 hp) now if your talking hottubs obvouisly thats a different beast altogether.
well maybe not, anyhow all ended peacefully.Not sure i deserved a bashing when only asking for advice. Thought i would take to a forum first to help point in the right direction. But thanks anyway
