Know before you buy
This sensor acts as a safety trigger for your spa's control system. When temperatures drop, it signals the heater or pumps to activate, preventing water from freezing and causing damage to your plumbing.
This sensor is designed for select Balboa control systems that utilize a two-pin, two-wire connection. It is a direct replacement for part numbers 22312, 611137, 9711-34, and Sundance Spa 6560-440.
Yes, the 15-foot cord provides significant flexibility for placement. It allows you to mount the sensor in a location that accurately monitors ambient air temperature away from the heat of the spa cabinet.
The sensor features a simple surface-mount design and a standard two-pin plug, making it straightforward to install. However, ensure your spa power is completely disconnected before accessing the control box to plug in the new sensor.
For optimal performance, mount the sensor in an area that is exposed to the outside air but protected from direct sunlight or extreme wind. This ensures the sensor reads the actual ambient temperature rather than heat radiating from the spa equipment.
