Why Do You Use Balboa Spa Heaters with M7 Technology
                     Why Do You 
Use Balboa 
Spa Heaters 
with M7 
Technology?
When it comes to buying Balboa spa parts in Canada, there are certain things that 
come to your mind. Balboa spa heaters are something that needs immediate 
attention for your spa. The patented M7 smart sensor technology is used in the 
Balboa VS series spa heaters. This technology eliminates the issues of pressure 
switches virtually.
The main reason behind installing a VS series Balboa spa heater is the simple 
installation process. In addition, you won’t need to drill the holes into the spa for 
the installation. However, the overall cost of routine maintenance, adjustments, 
downtime and service charges are fairly less than their counterparts. The digitally 
controlled Balboa spa packs are considered as the most reliable systems 
available in the industry.
Their spa control systems use the field proven M7 control system which provides 
additional reliability and ease installation process as compared to older spa control 
systems. The software based M7 control systems make decisions as per the 
condition of the temperature and flow present within the spa heater. This 
innovative technology opens new possibilities as the system and heater can be 
installed on the pressure or suction side of the heat pump. 2
The M7 control system in Balboa spa packs feature with automatic 
diagnostics, electronic non pressure switches and dip switches. Some of 
the features can be configured in the field ensuring a greater level of 
flexibility. The smart sensors deliver multiple high limit safety system, 
eliminate additional cycling, and adapt to flow direction automatically. Most 
spa components cause electric noise which can affect different spa 
equipment. If you want to avoid this type of noise, Balboa controls feature 
built-in hardware and software filters to optimize the electric operations of 
the hot tub.
Balboa spa heaters engineered with M7 technology come with onboard 
output connectors that eliminate the maze of wires in the enclosure. As a 
result, it will significantly minimize the time for assembly, corrosion and 
obviously the margin for error. Connectors present inside the enclosure 
are less likely to come loose. Hence, there’ll be fewer holes in the 
enclosure which ensures that the entire system remains protected against 
moisture and chemical intrusion.

The Balboa spa packs have high amperage components like spa heaters, 
pumps and blowers. They can cause wear and tear on relays especially when 
they’re not switched on correctly. However, the EL/GL line of control in Balboa 
spa packs uses the “Zero Crossing Technology”. It results that the components 
are turned on and off at the maximum zero crossing of AC power.
This means, you can expect the relays to last a lifetime virtually. If you want 
better standard serviceability, you should consider the new BP501 systems that 
come with a new single board configuration and a quick connect heater system. 
You don’t need to remove heater straps; instead unplug the existing heater and 
plug in a new one.
