I have one of these baths to wire in I have a 2.5 coming from the fuse board directly under bath how can I wire it up from here I have two pumps and a light to connect 

?

 
Welcome

Follow manufacturer's instructions, BS7671, part P of the building regs and some (if not all) advice on this Forum. :innocent

More info please.

 
Hi Rob the rich I just need to know if a fuse spare will be enough to run both pumps and the light 

 
I think when Rob said "more info" he was hoping for things like what do the manufacturers instructions say (have you got any?), what are the pumps and lighting rated at?, is the underneath of the bath accessible with the use of a tool etc... etc...

 
Supply requirements 240v 13 amp with red rated at 20 amp with a 30 milli amp trip current electrical rating 1.5 kw for halogen light so am I right in thinking I can put both pumps and light on a 20 amp fuse spur plenty of room under bath to

 
IMHO any fused spur should be accessible,,, could you put the fused spur in a room on the other side of the wall to the bath?

BTW,, you cannot get a 20A fused spur,, 13A is the maximum.....just also make sure that the circuit is RCD protected

 
TBH I can't see this being anything much over 1kW so a 13A fused spur should be fine

however you say 1.5kW of halogen lighting,,,, that's a LOT! are you sure it's not 150W (which is still a lot for this application IMHO)?
