Know before you buy
The in.ye-5 is a highly versatile system designed to replace many older Gecko models. It supports up to three spa appliances and offers 120V/240V convertible operation, making it suitable for a wide range of standard hot tub configurations.
Yes, the system is WiFi-ready. Once connected, you can manage your spa settings and monitor performance directly through the Gecko smart app.
No, this specific control system is not compatible with saltwater environments. It is designed for standard electric heating applications.
If you plan to run both a circulation pump and an ozone generator simultaneously, you will need to purchase an additional Amp Splitter Harness. The system does not support simultaneous operation of these two components out of the box.
