    Hot Tub Isolator location

    That was quick! I was just amending what I wrote as I was thinking it over :) Is there any crossover at all, so that something like this would be allow for a junction box in a zone 1 near a hot tub? Guessing different standards, so maybe not, but just looking for solutions. If it's safe...

    Hot Tub Isolator location

    Admittedly, I'm not sure if these can be used in a 'near a hot tub' zone 1. But given these exist for hazardous areas, maybe there is a way to have a junction box in Zone 1? Would that not be a higher test. So is there a reason I couldn't use one of these...

    Hot Tub Isolator location

    The cover is fine. The hot tub fits fine. The other option is I could run a new supply if I needed to. But, I find life a more fulfilling experience when I look at what's there and come up either with a solution, or with options, rather than deal in absolutes and have a 'computer says no'...

    Hot Tub Isolator location

    Thank you. If the regs exclude Switch Gear and Junction Boxes. - Can the isolator be located above that? Or can I leave the junction box where it is, run cable externally, and locate the isolator a few metres away? The wall light can be moved or just capped off, as necessary. The rope light...

    Hot Tub Isolator location

    Hi From reading around, I understand that the recommendation is for an isolator to be 2m away, this is to avoid someone in the tub being able to access the isolator. See photo. Circled is where the 32AMP supply comes to. This is also the exact spot we want to put the hot tub. Grateful for...

    Which GU10 dimmable LEDs? (BG switches and rotating dimmers)

    We used Megamans at the last place (that was 2015) and they were the only LED GU10s that I found to successfully dim. Things have moved on since then. Phillips seems to get good reviews. Thank you. But I'm out of the loop with these so keen to hear from others who deal with 100s of them as...

    Polishing bare metal cast iron fireplace

    It's already been blasted. It's just a it grubby from having been sat around and has picked up some light surface rust, which just wipes off. It's clean metal.

    Polishing bare metal cast iron fireplace

    I need to polish a bare metal cast iron fireplace. I don't want to use anything that will "paint" the cast iron black, I want it to be polished bare metal. To speed up the job,I'd like to use a machine! The fireplace is huge. I wondered if I could use something on a drill bit I could use...

    Fusebox won't reset

    Strangely. Once the wires were removed from the MCB and then put back in, it worked fine. Unfortunately it cost me a Saturday electrician call out to discover that!

    Fusebox won't reset

    Hi I cannot get this MCB to reset. I tried to rewire a previously blown power tool and it tripped the breaker. But now no matter what I do I cannot get that to come back on. I've turned everything off connected to the kitchen sockets, but no luck at all. Does that breaker need replacing...

    PDHW on Vaillant - North London recommendations?

    I've answered all your questions, there been a few! It's now over a year from practical completion, if we wanted to go down the "contractual route" but they've not done anything wrong as far as I'm aware. They just do not do servicing. Appreciate you trying to find out more information, if...
