Balboa VL260 Topside Control - 3 Button 54685

Different but better than the original Master Spa panel.

Ordered this hoping that it would be able to replace the old panel since the jets went out. It worked out perfect. Makes Hot tub look like a new one even though it’s old. Shipping was fast and install was easy .

It did not solve my problem I put it in ST mode and it goes back to sleep mode

I saw this and thought, ""ok great! one button for two what could go wrong?"" Well I have two hot tubs- one for a place I do short term rental. I'm all about simplicity and thought this would be a win. The problem is that if you hit one of the buttons too many times it goes into program mode and when you've had a few beers and are enjoying life you inadvertently put the tub into weird modes. The LAST thing you want is problems and late night calls as a short term rental host- I would give this one a hard pass and go with the tried and true, drunk friendly 4 button topside. one button for hotter, one button for colder: one button for lights on or off, one button for jets on or off. SIMPLE . This topside has created more grief than I care to share.

I did not realize how bad my keypad had gotten. This was a much needed upgrade!!!
