Hi im not sure if this is in the right category but I need to know if a 15amp spa motor is the element requirement or the motor, as I am wanting to put a 10 amp element into a hasbeen 15amp unit, will I have to still run a 15amp plug or will the 10 amp element allow it to run a 10 amp plug, it is a waterco portapac demand,

I think you need a higher amp plug/lead. Not too sure I understand whats going on. Mayneed to re-write your post.

if your element is 10amps then the control gear will also draw current. so then it will exceed 10 amps. Plug it in and load test it with a clamp meter then you will get a accurate measure of what it needs.
Why dont you cut the plug off and connect it via a waterproof isolator. Obviously the cable you run will need to be rated at at least 15 amps.
