Balboa Topside (TP800) Control Unit
Our Largest Hot tub series are equipped with a TP800 Topside - To identify and confirm which topside corresponds to the information below, please verify the Owner's Manual (Page 10-11).
If you would like to ensure that the spa is always heating to the set temperature, you can set the spa to Ready mode.
- In Ready mode, the spa will perform "Polling". This is when the jets run on low speed to circulate the spa and test the temperature of the water at a fixed duration automatically.
- The spa operates like a thermostat so once it senses that the actual temperature is lower than the set temperature, it will begin heating.
- When in Rest mode, the spa will not heat unless the filtration interval is in operation - For more information regarding the Filtration settings see our article link here - Balboa TP800 Topside - Setting Filtration duration
To set the Spa to the desired heating mode, follow the instructions below.
The Default setting for the Heating mode is Ready Mode*
Note: Rest Mode* is NOT recommended for wintertime time where temperatures are freezing. During this season, the tub should be kept under Ready Mode to ensure it will periodically circulate and maintain the set temperature.
It is important to replace the filters with OEM (original equipment manufacturer) every 3-4 month to keep optimal operation of your spa -- The required filters can be purchased through our website here: What filter do I need? – Canadian Spa Company
