Taking a spur of shower to connect spa bath

Good evening,

Looking for some advice,

I'm fitting a spa bath and need a power supply for it,

Q) Is it possible to take a spur from the shower supply to power the bath?

I'm thinking this might be ok as only one of them would be in use at anyone time, or would I need to run a completely new supply from the consumer unit down stairs.

Your advice would be greatly appreciated, many thanks

I would suggest your first point of reference should be the manufactures installation instructions for both the spa and the shower...

See what guidance they recommend....?

I doubt they would anything like what you are proposing...

Unless you are including some switching device/contactor to prevent them both being energised at the same time..

I also doubt I would be using a single supply for both..

Unless of course the shower is a mixer shower & the supply is just a pump..?

Type/rating of existing protective device.

Ib of existing shower circuit.

HP of shower bath motor.

We need much more info.

Or spur off the nearest socket circuit.

And depending where in the UK the installation is located it may be notifiable to Building Control Under Part P
