Variable Speed Whirlpool Control System Easy Installation

Turn your tired jetted tub into a spa-worthy retreat with Balboa’s Variable Speed Whirlpool Control System Easy Installation. This universal replacement controller is the smart answer when the original module is discontinued, hard to source, or your aging tub needs a modern upgrade without a full remodel. Expect precise, customizable hydro-massage and reliable operation that fits a wide range of models and setups.

Why this replacement stands out

• Universal compatibility: Designed to work with a broad spectrum of air blowers and pumps, including Gemini Plus II and NR4A-C / NR2A-C configurations, and ITT MARLOW systems. It’s a practical, future-proof option when the original control is no longer available.
• Four LED-guided configurations: Pick your massage style at a glance. Each mode is identified by a distinct LED color for quick, intuitive selection—Red for 3-speed with purge, Green for multi-speed with purge, Blue for simple ON/OFF with a timer, and Turquoise for 3-speed or variable-speed pump with a longer, uninterrupted session (no purge).
• Variable-speed flexibility: Beyond standard on/off, this kit supports a variable-speed pump (brush motor) and multiple blower speeds, delivering a tailored hydro-massage experience that adapts to tub size and user preference.
• Remote convenience: A 120-volt wireless remote and an integrated control box let you adjust speeds, start or stop the session, and manage the 20-minute timer from anywhere around the tub.
• Durable, plug-and-play install: Everything arrives in one ready-to-go kit—control box, remote, white air button, and 6 ft of red air tubing—streamlining installation in a retrofit without plumbing overhaul.
