PE advice by Napit (hot tubs)

There is an article in PE and I have just received it via email.

I am disappointed that the article seems to suggest that it contains all you need to know yet no mention is made of earthing systems

    Pretty sure NIC did a webinar a while back about hot tubs and said it was ok to use the PME earth, i think because there was no exposed metalwork on them but can't remember . Have to say i wouldn't personally.

    Is that true for ALL hot tubs? I saw a TV series this week about the subject, and there was a stainless-steel hot tub … also, there are exposed-conductive-parts on some heaters used in the devices ?

    I think the real situation is far more tricky to navigate.

    Indeed, the odd hot tub that I have encountered had submerged immersion heaters in the water flow that supplied the tub that people sat in.
