Balboa TP500 - Control Panel

[@deniselee7545]

What a simple video but just so helpful. Thats all I needed was this - thank you!!!

[@neilhotchkiss1940]

Many thanks for the video. I downloaded the instructions but they didn’t assist at all. This was just what I needed. 😃

[@sandrawalker7908]

Really Helpful video. Just what i need as was struggling to understand my spa pool supplier due to language barrier, and much better watching instructions rather than reading manual. Thank you :-)

[@Revivalmartin]

Awesome video, very helpful exactly what I was looking for 🙏🏼

[@robertg6019]

Awesome video thanks. So much said here that was not in the instruction manual. As I have solar I will be doing the filter mode twice a day during daylight hours and then running the heater then. I'm thinking 2 lots of 2hrs should be enough to keep the spa at my desired temp.

[@melodyl1924]

How to UNLOCK: Hold temp button and press menu button 2 times!

Very helpful video, but can anyone help show me how to unlock the panel to be able to set the tub TIA

[@LorenMooney-jk8er]

I love that I can time my filtration cycles. Is there any way to time the high/low TEMP cycles? For example, tub switches to high temp and heats up an hour before I typically get in it :)

[@betterlivingoutdoors8321]

Hi Loren, you can use 'Ready' & 'Rest' modes to do this in tandem with when you ask the filter cycles to happen. This video should help, its a different Balboa panel but it works the same way. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHqck5uneciLick

@@betterlivingoutdoors8321 Thank you so much for the response! Smart.

[@krisml100]

Great vid. A couple of questions if possible please?…. -does it not filter itself automatically during use?… the water is continuously being sucked through the filter. -when I get out, how do I turn the pumps off… it only seems to allow low or high speed pump, but not off.

[@houseofpuszkar]

Hi. You need to put it in to rest mode. The pumps then turn off.

[@cencerrita-cencerrita]

Yes it does filter all the time when the jets are running by sucking off the surface (main jet pump sucks via the course filter pipe scutions in the foot well also). Extra filtration cycles occur when the hot tub is not in use via the filtration mode set up.

[@hungrywolf4903]

Thanks for this video. I’ve cleaned the filter...how do i reset the CLN FLTR message?

[@cencerrita-cencerrita]

Great video and info. Shame you did not turn the camera 180 degress after flipping the panel read out - easier or you but not for a person watching the video.

[@andyhansen2030]

I can't get the time of day option. But somehow get to pick from 24:00 clock for filter. No idea what time it'll run.

[@fireplacegroup1789]

How do you get the LED lights to fade in & out of the different colours?

[@roedelkroete1]

press the light button twice and it will change color. repeat until you see red color fading (that's light changing mode)

[@tonyfield404]

Many thanks, that's me sorted now

Hey! Can you make a video on how to program a second pump with the TP500? Thanks!

Can you run your blower pump

One thing i wanted to know.. how to get the fucker out of lock .. whats the one function he decided to skip past 😑🤦‍♂️

[@miktone]

Great video , thanks. Question:How do you turn off the cln filter notification ? Filter was removed, cleaned and replaced but the notification is still flashing?

[@betterlivingoutdoors8321]

You need to go into the Preferences menu and then Reminders and turn them off. These are all time based so will not know if you have cleaned the filters or not.

[@davidmiddleton2695]

I do I reset the 'Change water' display, I have recently changed the water and the filters are replaced. Water chess are perfect and I have crystal clear water,

[@user-bp3np4it1b]

When should my spa be set to "R" Ready vs "IR" which turns the pumps off?

[@michaelferguson651]

Should the jets be open or shut when heating in ready mode? Plz help

[@betterlivingoutdoors8321]

If the pump that does the heating returns the hot water through your massage jets then you re going to want to keep them open

[@Retromo]

Did you find any answers? I am searching for the same too...

[@ghozt-art4380]

@@Retromo Im looking for the same, cant connect my bluetooth

[@Ed-zc7pe]

I have this panel and the BT is always on so no setting for it as far as I know. Just scan for it on you phone when stood nearby and it should come up, mine was called "Joy".. not sure why? You'll need to enter a 4 digit pin on your phone to connect, the hot tub provider should have given you this, mine was written on the receipt. Once connected you can stream any music as normal. Word of warning though, the speakers are rubbish and when they have water on them (ie all the time) it vibrates making it sound like they're blown so I generally use alternate outdoor speakers. Oh, and when you are connected everytime you walk past your tub it beeps to confirm its connected again.

[@brianlord2]

How do I set the temp lower please? It’s currently at 40 degrees but I need it lower, I’ve adjusted the temp so it goes to 35 degrees but it just flashes then goes back to 40, what am I doing wrong please?

[@betterlivingoutdoors8321]

You are doing nothing wrong, once the flashing stops it shows the current water temp which is 40. There is no force cooling so if you want to to cool for bathing, leave to cover open or add some cold water.

[@enkrypt3d]

what does low range do?

[@dunks28031981subaru]

I've got the 13amp hotub Lowspeed stays on is this correct shud it go off and keep the water still mine looks like jets on all time this is brand-new I'm not sure if this is a fault

[@betterlivingoutdoors8321]

The pump will run on low speed when your spa is heating up and when filter cycles are set to happen. I would guess at the moment your hot tub is still heating to the set point temp. Once it reaches this the pump will turn off on it's own.

[@dangale177]

How do I set the 24hr circulation pump to run all the time?

[@betterlivingoutdoors8321]

If you want the circ pump to run all the time you need to set one of the filter cycles to run all the time, so start at 0800 and end at 0759. It will purge all pumps at the cycle start for 1 min each then leave the circ pump on for the remainder. Your circ pump may not need to run 24/7, often filtering 2 hours a day (12 hours apart) is ample but if you are trying to recover cloudy water then setting to 24 hour speeds up the recovery.

[@debbieharvey3929]

can you have the lights changing colour all the time automatically

[@betterlivingoutdoors8321]

Hi Debbie, it will depend which light driver is in your spa. With ours, turning the lights off and then back on in quick succession turns them onto the next colour in the sequence. When you get to the 'dimmer' red, this is the start of the blend sequence where it burns through all the colours slowly. Most spa lights work in a similar way.

Could be a number of things, check your jets are open and the position of the water diverters. If it is a spa you purchased from us, you could give us a call at the showroom.

should filter cycle 2 be turned on or off?

[@betterlivingoutdoors8321]

As default it's off. I would suggest turning it on and running a cycle 12 hours apart from the first one. For most users 2 cycles of 1 hour should he enough but that depends on the spa model, how many bathers, how frequently etc

Hi Shane, our spas equipped with a blower don't use this panel but I would expect it will be the AUX button. Hope that helps

[@hannahclarke6540]

What does an R on its side mean?

[@betterlivingoutdoors8321]

It means the spa is in 'REST' mode and will only allow the spa to heat when the filter cycles are scheduled or if you activate a jet pump manually.
