Right, I have now put the earth back to the permanently joined connector. I know the 'ideal' is to locate the isolator, but it is very easy to locate, the armour cable leads the way and it is no more difficult to find than if it was located outside (first thing you see on wall inside rear...

Thanks everyone for the advice. I have just completed the install; 32amp MCB, from this 6mm T&E to rotary 32A 3 pole isolator 3 metres away then 2.5mm 3 core armoured cable from isolator through wall to hot tub located outside about a metre from exit of cable. Just waiting for...

Thanks for the confidence boost about the 20amp hot tub I've just spent £4500 on....I am sure it's 20amp, it's got a single 2.5HP pump and a 3kw heater with a few LED type lights sprinkled around it and a iPod connection and speakers! The isolator would be easily accessible and I was thinking...
