Hi Mark I have this spa I scored everything seems to be working but the pump to the right of the control board is humming and not spinning the board is GS501Z Regards Greg
Hi Greg. That will be to do with the motor not the controller. If it is just humming it could just need a capacitor at best and if it is all corroded then it will need replacement. Let me know if you need replacement send me photos so we can identify your pump. That is if you are in Australia. MRT
hi mark the pump is an emerson K55MYKHF-9557 I actualy made it work by getting a peace of wood to force the motor to rotate i agree i think it is the capacitor , The pump stopped while heating dont know why so i turned off the mains for an hour or so and had to force the restart on the pump , it started heating but seems to be intermittent as the indicator light goes on and off i may have to get it looked at! Regards Greg
Great video - But I have so many spa questions. How much is a 30 min. one-on-one Messenger call? Moved to a house with a SwimSpa, but have problems with one of the Jet Buttons on the Balboa control panel :)
Hi Mark, On the temperature probes, can a person pull them out slightly to increase the temperature? I have tried the resistor method, but the unit senses something isn't normal and shuts down. It tried it with 2x 1.2k and 2.2k resistors. Maybe I'm not using the right resistence, so maybe there's a spec or testing method I could use if I'm off with the 1.2 and 2.2. What is your advice? Thank you!
Hi there. My advice is that these units are very precise and I wouldn’t be playing to try to adjust it. Partly removing the temp sensor won’t adjust it.
HI mark, I have the balboa Revolution series control box but the heater core it tripping the circuit breakers, What unit should i replace it with as the Revolution series is un servicable
Hi Jack Contact me at Nillumbik Pool & Spa Service I actually need to know how many pumps you have and if they are two speed and if you have a blower. Then we can program a unit to work on your spa for you. They do need to be set up for each spa.
Hi Tim. Is this something that you are trying to fit yourself? I do offer support to help you out. I can offer a FaceTime consult and we can attempt to sort that out for you. There is no service call for that service I just charge my hourly rate with a min of 1/2hr. Just contact Nillumbik Pool & Spa Service
is it possible to repair a leak from a crack in a spa pump faceplate? is there any type of glue adhesive that would be strong enough? J-B weld? PL 8X? 2 part plastic epoxy? Seal All? the crack in the pump faceplate was a result of water freezing. Thank you.
Green Energy Concepts No I don’t believe so, nothing will last. Most spa pumps have new face plates available for purchase. Let me know if you want one as a spa specialist I can access most brands.
Hello Mark. I have that control panel in my spa. Now my water pump want stop at the lower speed. It's just goes the hole time. I have the 2-speed pump, when i press jet the jet starts. When i turn jet of the ciculation is still on.. My question is what relay goes to pump? K6? Sorry for my bad english :D
When the controller is trying to heat your spa it will keep the circ pump running until it is up to temperature. So to start I would be looking at is the spa heating? Is it teaching its temperature? As it is supposed to run non stop until the spa gets up to temperature. It also will run to filter and clean the spa even when it is up to temperature
The temperature is reathing 38°. Even if i turn down to 30° when the spa is 38 the circ pump is still on. It needs to be relay cuz when i messure the pump output its 230v all the time..
These look similar to the Gecko spa controller I installed. Thanks for the vid!

shouldn't the conduit have a drip loop before it enters the control box to stop water ingress?
