Although this spa pack can work at 120 VAC in which case it will produce 1.5 Kw of heat, it is primarily expected that it will be used at 230 VAC (requiring 40-60AMP service) and will produce 5.5 kW of heat. One or more auxiliary heater, each producing 4.0 kW or 5.5kW can be slaved to the unit if more power is required. Its union tail pieces (included) fit standard 2" piping or with reducers can be easily adapted to 1.5".

Built in programmable features such a 1 or 2 filter cycle programming per day by duration or time of day, various power saving modes including Ready, Rest and Ready in Rest, High (80-104°F) and Low (50-99°F) temperature setting, ozone suppression, clean up cycle, freeze protection, panel lock, temperature lock, standby mode for filter changes and sophisticated diagnosis and reminder measures are just some of the features. It also has the ability to select how much current will be drawn allowing a breaker as low as 30 Amp, yet still deliver the full 5.5 kW of electric heat. It has receptacles for supporting a wide range of configurations (setups) as illustrated in the table below:

The Ultimate "Universal" Replacement System for Any Hot Tub
If your hot tub controls have failed, or your old heater is obsolete, you don't need to scrap the whole spa. You just need a brain transplant.
The Balboa BP2000 Retrofit Kit is the industry's most robust and versatile replacement system. Designed to replace aging packs from brands like Gecko, Hydro Quip, Coleman, and SpaGuts, this kit upgrades your tub with modern digital reliability, Made-in-USA quality, and the legendary M7 heating system.

What is a "Retrofit Kit"?

Unlike buying a bare spa pack, this Retrofit Kit includes everything you need to convert your old hot tub to the new Balboa BP system:

1. BP2000 Spa Pack: The "Brain" containing the circuit board and heater.

2. TP600 Topside: A modern 6-button digital keypad.

3. Cable Harnesses: A complete set of AMP cords (4-wire for 2-speed pumps, 3-wire for 1-speed pumps) to connect your existing pumps and lights to the new system.

4. Adaptor Plate: To help fit the new keypad into your old dashboard hole.

Incomparable Power & Flexibility (Up to 5 Pumps)

The BP2000 is the "Heavy Duty" model in the Balboa lineup. It can handle complex setups that smaller packs cannot.

• Heater Output: A massive 5.5 kW Incoloy Heater (at 240V) ensures rapid heating even in freezing Canadian winters. (Can be converted to 1.5kW @ 120V).

• Component Support: It supports a wide range of configurations, powering up to 5 Pumps (e.g., Heater + Circ Pump + Pump 1 + Pump 2 + Blower/Pump 3).

• Power Logic: Smart amperage settings allow you to run this on a 30A, 40A, 50A, or 60A breaker.

Features: M7 Technology & WiFi Ready

• Patented M7 Sensors: Gone are the days of "pressure switches" that get stuck. The M7 system uses dual digital sensors inside the heater tube to monitor flow and temperature with +/- 1°F accuracy. This allows mounting in any direction (vertical or horizontal).

• WiFi Ready: The BP2000 is compatible with the optional Balboa WiFi module (sold separately), allowing you to control your tub from your smartphone.

• Flame Retardant Case: The new carbon-based casing is highly impact-resistant and flame-retardant for maximum safety.
