I have an older hot tub which is still in good shape. The problem is the old unit is analog, inaccurate in regulating the water temperature and beyond repair. When the heater died, the guy who has repaired my hot tub in the past said that Balboa is the best manufacturer, so given I trust his knowledge I would like to buy a new Balboa spa pack, perhaps unless someone says there is a more reliable and better bang for the buck brand.
Hot tub specs....
Manufacturer: AH Equipment Co, Model: Gemini, Manufactured 10/88
Original spa pack: Pinnacle Systems, Model: 26-60-F100A2A40
Inside dimensions: 6' x 6' x 32" or about 675 gallons.
Jets: six 1/2 inch diameter
Water flow at spa pack: Right to left
Power: 240 volts AC, 40 amps
PVC pipe inside diameter: 1 1/2"
I would like to have ozone and a controller that can be adjusted from inside the tub, but not a wireless controller, unless there is no other alternative.
What would be a suitable spa pack?
I am pretty handy with electrical systems and other household systems, so I think I will be okay installing the spa pack by myself. I just want to make sure I buy the right equipment.
I also need a new cover. I would like to find one that will not be sagging downwards pooling water after a few years. Do any exist?
Thanks so much,
David
