♨️ Gecko IN.K200 Topside Panel (2 Pumps) – Compact Main Control with Dual Pump Control for Gecko IN Systems

Compact four-button main topside with dual jet pump control, lighting, and temperature adjustment for Gecko spa systems

📋 Product Overview

The Gecko IN.K200 Topside Panel (TS-AE200) is a compact yet fully-featured main topside control panel designed for Gecko IN Systems with dual pump configurations. This two-pump variant provides control of Jets 1, Jets 2, Light, and Temperature from a sleek, space-efficient panel measuring just 120 mm × 51 mm.

Unlike the larger single-pump variant, this compact IN.K200 delivers dual jet pump control in a significantly smaller footprint, making it ideal for spas where mounting space is limited but full hydrotherapy control is required. The panel features an LED screen for temperature display and status information, connecting to compatible Gecko spa packs via the proprietary IN.LINK system.

Operating at 12V for safe, reliable performance, the IN.K200 (2 Pumps) provides complete spa control including temperature adjustment, dual pump operation, and lighting – all the essential functions needed for an enjoyable spa experience. With both a Quick Reference Card and drilling template available for download, installation is straightforward for professionals.
