❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know if this board fits my spa? A: Check your existing board for part number 59342-01 or 59343-01. This board fits all BP200 series control boxes. Verify your system uses 230V 50Hz power supply.

Q: Is this an OEM or aftermarket board? A: This is a genuine OEM Balboa circuit board manufactured by Balboa Water Group, not an aftermarket or third-party replacement.

Q: Do I need a qualified electrician to install this? A: Yes. UK Building Regulations (Part P) require a qualified, competent person to carry out electrical work on hot tubs. This ensures safety and compliance with BS 7671.

Q: Will my existing topside panel work with this board? A: Yes, this board is compatible with all TP-series panels including TP400, TP500, TP600, TP800, TP900, and all spaTouch variants. Check the version requirements in the compatibility table above.

Q: What warranty is included? A: Contact Parts4Tubs for current warranty terms. Warranty is subject to correct installation by a qualified electrician.

Q: What if I have error codes after installation? A: Most startup errors are temporary. Allow the system to complete priming mode. Persistent errors may indicate wiring issues or sensor problems. Refer to the troubleshooting section or contact Parts4Tubs technical support.

Q: Can I upgrade from 2.0kW to 3.0kW heater? A: The board supports both 2.0kW and 3.0kW heaters. To use a 3.0kW heater, jumper J31 must be positioned on 2 pins instead of 1 pin. You will also need the appropriate 3.0kW heater element.

Q: What is the difference between BP200G1, G2, G3, and BP200UX? A: The BP200UX is Balboa’s unified replacement that combines all three previous generations (G1, G2, G3) into one configurable model. It can replace any BP200 series board with the correct setup configuration.
