13 amp supply
Our 13 amp hot tubs do not come with a cable
or plug. These will need to be sourced and
supplied by you.
The hot tub needs to have its own circuit from
the main distribuon board, the supply should
not be shared.
Please arrange for an electrician to do the following
before the delivery day:
1. Install a 16 amp outdoor waterproof commando
socket with RCD protecon. Install an earth rod
(If required)
2. Provide a 2.5mm 3 Core Armoured Cable and
16amp commando plug with a minimum of 10m
worth of cable le in a loop. Our delivery team
are qualied to connect this cable to the inside
of the hot tub. However, they will NOT hardwire
your hot tub to the mains supply.
3. Ensure the outdoor socket is within 2-5m from
the hot tub.
4. Our 13amp hot tubs potenally could be installed
with a 13amp plug into a standard socket. This
would need to be a dedicated supply from your
main distribuon board and we recommend you
consult with your electrician to ensure this is
suitable. However our recommendaon is that
you install the 16amp commando socket to avoid
any future problems
IMPORTANT:
The relevant steps must be completed before we
deliver your hot tub. Failure to do so will mean that
we cannot install your hot tub.
For 13, 32 and 40 amp supply hot tubs we
recommend your electrician installs an earth rod to
ensure the earthing systems voltage is the same as
the ground you are standing on. This will prevent
the voltage traveling through you and any ngling.
