Customers praised this universal spa heater for its versatility and excellent compatibility. "Near perfect replacement" that "fit right in" with various spa models. Easy installation in most cases, though some needed sizing adapters for different pipe dimensions. Heats "very very well" with strong performance. Exceptional customer service noted.

Economical way to keep an old spa running...

Second purchase of this item...they last about 3 years it seems. Decent quality and is truly a near universal replacement.
I have trouble getting the plastic plugs out of the sensor tap holes. Not sure what product SpeDepot puts on the threads but the plastic twists away before the plug loosens. I usually have to carefully drill them out.
Overall a great buy - far cheaper then the OEM part...if you can still get it!!

Perfect hot tub heater

Had great difficulty finding this heater tube/ element that would fit my tub. This arrived in only a few days to Canada and with all the universal adjustments my hot tub was back up and running in no time. Will buy from here again as required !!

Easy to install and fit perfectly

This universal heater assembly fit our Royal Spa hot tub perfectly. It was easy to install and I didn't have to make any modifications to the spa setup (hose placement or connections).

Very nice ..but

Heats very very well ...the installation was a bit of a hassle just because of the extra sizing ..being it was a 2"" heater unit and my old 1 was 1 & 1/2 ""...i had to move main contol box add reducers add extra length to fit up with previos piping ...but over all very pleased with performance

pleasant surprise

Shocked when I received unit & it stated 240 volts on the container. Relooked at Spa Depot information & realized that it was universal 120-240. Shocked again when opening the box & found no instructions. Very happy when I googled Versa-Therm & found the active instructions!!!! I would like to mount outside the hot tub as it is beautiful & extremely well made.

How do you remove the plugs without them breaking away

SpaDepot.com

Heat the plugs and they'll remove easily. Avoid a heat gun, but a hair dryer will work well.

We have a versa heating tube and wondering if it makes a difference in what direction the tube is installed for flow? A new heater tube was installed and now we can not get FLO off and spa water is not going thru the filter. Help.

SpaDepot.com

The heater isn't directional but if you're using a pressure switch, the pump MUST discharge through the heater. Email us (help@spadepot.com) a photo of your setup and we'll be happy to troubleshoot and get your spa back up and running.

My versa-therm heater assembly #BX5950AT has a ground wire attached to it, my old heater assembly did not have a ground wire, must this unit be grounded or is that optional? Thanks

SpaDepot.com

Grounding the heater is mandatory, but using the provided grounding wire is optional. Ground the new heater the same way the old heater was grounded. If you have any questions, give us a call and we'll walk you through installation.

Which wattage heater do I order?

SpaDepot.com

If you examine the labels on your heater, the wattage should be listed either in watts or kilowatts. If you can't find it, give us a call and we can help you select the correct replacement.
