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.
Probably, but that's true with most of what we do, no two situations are the same and we have to make a judgement using our experience and knowledge.
