WANT TO ADD AN OZONATOR? All of the above will operate an ozonator automatically. You have to decide 2 things. First, the voltage of the ozonator and second, the type. The Qzone by Balboa can operate on either. You have to field adjust for the voltage but it can handle either. Most ozonators will not. The Qzone uses BULB technology that has been used since the mid-90's.

Your second choice is the more popular "CD" ozonator. Its the current popular choice and produces a good amount of ozone gas. You must choose the voltage of the ozonator you are going to run the unit on. If you haven't decided, either of the above units will operate a 110-120vac ozonator so chose that model.

One note: the voltage or the #1 pump must match the ozonator. The ozonator operates on the same circuit as the #1 pump.

What "retro-fitting" you will have to do:
Electronic Control Box	a. Removal of old control box
	b. Removal of old electronic topside

What Will This Retro-Kit Do For Me?

a. All 3 kits use current circuit board technology.

b. Digital Temp Readout on the topside.

c. Automatic filter cycles

d. Freeze Protection.

e. Topside Failure Codes

f. Current and future parts availability.

Why Would I Want to Retro-fit my Electronic Spa?

This would be simply upfront cost verses long term... especially if you have lost a pcboard. This retrofit kit replaces the topside, pcboard, sensors, heater,

and pressure switch. Individually on many current spas the replacement costs for these parts would total cost to $800. So if you expect to replace a number

of parts in the near future, for one low price you can upgrade. Also, on some model spas you only have a Dial with no Digital Readout like these.

How We Will Help

If you can supply us with digital pictures, we will analyze what you will have to do to

your spa to make it ready to retro-fit.

This is where we can help... and it's free.

We can explain what you need to do and how intensive it will be.

The biggest change may be to install a GFCI.

GFCI means ground fault circuit interrupt. It is mandatory for safety and

code reasons. These can be purchased at hardware stores or installed by a

licensed electrician.

On spas with electronic systems, if properly wired, they already have a gfci

installed. Replacement of this retro-fit into existing electronic systems usually does

not require much change.

*Caution must be taken about matching pumps/blower/ozonators/circ pumps with your existing system. For example, the VS-510S used for a Z-150 will not work with the existing #1 pump. You will have to convert the #1 single speed pump to a 2 speed pump; either 110v or 220v. You will have to match the ozonator voltage to equal the #1 pump you use, either 110v or 220v. Please contact Bruce at bbouman@clearcreekspas.com to confirm you are ordering the right system and any cautions you need to be aware of.
