    Spur under bath for whirlpool bath

    It already has an RCD on the mains side. I could install a Fused spur outside the Bath room but I would have to terminate it in zone 1 to connect to the bath. Isn't there a standard way of doing these things? Thanks, C

    Spur under bath for whirlpool bath

    I want to install a whirlpool bath, I want to put a spur in to supply it. Where do I put the spur. Do I put it under the bath? Does it have to be IPX4? (I assume that you would need a tool to get the panel off the bath)Or will it have to be in Zone 2?

    Potterton Netaheat 10-16 that keeps blowing 1 amp fuse

    Looks like the fan as it only has a resistance of 28 ohms, which means a possible 8.5 amp. Should blow the 1 amp fuse. so gordongas was the 1st but joe-90 did indicate that it could be the fan. I'd go for Gordongas a he did say outright that it would be the fan.
