EQUIPMENT UPGRADES
![]()
If your old spa needs lots of equipment repairs and your spa shell is still in good condition an equipment upgrade is an economical way to extend the life of your spa. Your old equipment (spa pack) is taken out and replaced with new spa side controls, control box, heater, pump, blower, and light. Spa equipment upgrades can be done on either portable spas (spa equipment is contained inside the spa cabinet) or inground spa systems (outdoor equipment). Spa packs come in lots of sizes and configurations and can be retrofitted to just about any spa.
PNEUMATIC (AIR BUTTON) EQUIPMENT SYSTEMS FOR PORTABLE SPAS
If your spa currently uses air buttons to control the functions of your tub the Pinnacle Model 10 Control System may be the right replacement choice for your current equipment. Individual components on pneumatic systems cost less then digital systems and are more forgiving to voltage spikes, lightning strikes, and moisture infiltration. The system has the ability to set multiple on / off times for the filtration cycle with a 24 hour clock. The filter cycles and heat are controlled directly on the control box (the heat must be set down below in the equipment cabinet).
