Title: Which spas currently use Balboa control boards
Post by: littleboss on May 26, 2020, 03:01:27 pm

Which spas currently use Balboa control boards? I want a spa where I can easily find parts and they don't cost and arm and a leg. Balboa seems to be the one.

Which manufacturers currently use Balboa?   Thanks

Doesn't Bullfrog also use Balboa parts?  Or are they Gecko?

They switched to Gecko 2 years ago.

Are Gecko parts also easily obtainable? If so which manufacturers use them?

Thanks again
