New Hot Tub Buying - Proprietary Parts

[@rickdougherty1371]

Great info! What kind of parts do Bullfrog use?

I had the same issue with our bean to cup coffee machine £300.00 to send it to the company to fix!! Can’t get the parts you need online, sourced my own £10.00 fix works fine now

Planned failures and deceptive marketing seem to be all too common these days

Everyone tells me what companies use proprietary parts, but no one says what good brands do not. I haven't noticed any companies advertising they use OEM instead of proprietary. I don't yet know enough to know what I don't know. Any help is appreciated.

I have a question. I have an ELITE SPAS Hot Tub with a metal or aluminum Frame instead of wood. It seats 6 and has 2 Lounges. It has a GECKO Control box, but it is missing the topside Key pad. I would like to know if I should buy a New Control Box and Topside Bundle kit from Gecko instead of trying to purchase a Topside for a Control box thats outdated? Is Gecko good or should I go with another company?

Pick up a Balboa BP-500 retrofit kit. That will repalce the spa pack and topside with a top quality unit
