If the manufacturer states that it must be fed from a DP switched FCU with 3mm gap then that is the way it must be installed. What is the 5A fused spur for? It isn't a great idea taking a 5A supply from a lighting circuit without assessing what other loading there is on it.
the 5a fused spur is for a pump . for a shower.so would you only hook this up to a 32 breaker circuit on socket ring.and if the whirlpool dont specify double pole.then could you be able to plug straight into mains,sorry if i dont make much sense
If the pump requires 5 amps what would be left to feed the lights?
Feed the pump from a Fused Connection Unit with a 5amp fuse. Connect this off a outlet on the ring main.
