The Balboa Water Group BP100G2 is a spa control system designed to manage various functions of a hot tub, including pumps, heater, ozone, and lighting. It is available in two main configurations: Part Number 59267 with a 5.5kW 800 Incoloy heater and Part Number 59268 with a 4.0kW 800 Incoloy heater. The system supports a range of control panels, including spaTouch™2, Icon spaTouch™, Menued spaTouch™, TP900, TP800, TP600, TP400T US, and TP400W US, each with specific software version requirements for full functionality.

Technical Specifications:

Power Requirements:

240VAC, 50/60Hz, 48A: Class A GFCI-protected service (Circuit Breaker = 60A max.), 4 wires [hot, hot, neutral, ground].
120/240VAC, 50/60Hz, 16/40A: Class A GFCI-protected service (Circuit Breaker = 20/50A max.) for Setups 3 & 4 only, 3 or 4 wires [hot, hot (optional), neutral, ground].
- Note: 120V specification is for wall-mount GFCI/breaker; GFCI cord limits service to 12A with a 15A breaker.
BP systems automatically detect 50Hz vs 60Hz. However, different BP systems are used for UL vs CE territories due to other power differences.

System Outputs:

Pump 1 (240VAC):
- 2-Speed, 12A max, 15-minute timer (30-minute timer for P1 Low in non-circ Setups 2 & 4 only).
- Heater pump in Setups 2 & 4, must deliver 20 GPM through heater.
- 1-Speed in Setups 1 & 3.
Pump 2 (240VAC):
- 1-Speed, 12A max, 15-minute timer.
- Unused in Setups 3 & 4.
Circ Pump (240VAC):
- 1-Speed, 2A max, Programmable Filtration Cycles + Polling.
- Heater pump in Setups 1 & 3, must deliver 20 GPM through heater.
Ozone (240VAC):
- 0.5A max.
- Slaved to Circ Pump in Circ Setups and to Pump 1 Low in Non-Circ Setups.
Spa Light (10VAC):
- On/Off, 1A max, 240-minute timer.
A/V (Stereo) (120VAC):

Maintenance Features:

HiPot Testing Note:

Disconnect slip terminal with green wires from J6 prior to performing a HiPot test to prevent false failures. Reconnect after successful completion.

Wiring Diagram:

Connect only to circuits protected by a Class A GFCI.
A disconnecting means must be installed within sight from the equipment and at least 5 feet (1.52 m) from the inside walls of the pool, spa, or hot tub.
Torque range for TB1: 27-30 in. lbs.
Torque range for heater connections: 30-35 in. lbs.
Use copper conductors only, #6 AWG min. wire= 90° for supply connections.
For 120VAC configuration (Setups 3 & 4 only):
- J24 jumpers must be in 120V positions.
- J31 jumper must be on 1 pin when heater is 120VAC.
- F3 fuse must be replaced by a 0.16A SLO-BLOW fuse (supplied with pack). Save the original 0.1A fuse for 240VAC conversion.
- Switches #2 & #3 should be OFF.
- Pump 1, Ozone, and Circ must all be 120V.
For 240VAC conversion from 120VAC:
- TB1 must be wired WHT-1, BLK-2, RED-3.
- Move J46 and J38 wires from Area 3 to Area 1.
- Move J24 jumper to the 240V position.
- Change F3 fuse back to 0.1A SLO-BLOW.
- Put J31 jumper on 2 pins.

Important Notes:

Switch #6 should be set to OFF upon final installation.
All unused switches should be OFF.
Switch A7 must be OFF when using graphic panels (TP800, TP900, or spaTouch family).
The Timeouts and Spa O/H selections should NEVER be changed as they are for safety agency testing purposes only.
Setting DIP switches or jumpers incorrectly may cause abnormal system behavior and/or damage to system components. Refer to the Switchbank illustration on the Wiring Configuration page for correct settings.
