What is a SCM System? SCM stands "System Control Module". It will have either a brown or blue control box. The most common have a topside that looks like:
Jacuzzi used these systems up to circa 1994 when they migrated to fully electronic system. They have a separate heater (connected by a cord) and flow switch.
This designed stopped in 1994. From that year to end of production they used a control system that had the heater as part of the system.

With a SCM equipped spa from Jacuzzi, you must immediately make a major decision. If you want to KEEP your existing heater, we offer an electronic control system that comes with a cord to attached your existing heater to the control system. This is the least invasive approach and does not require replumbing the spa. To do so, we offer several choices from Hydroquip especially built to handle separate heater configuration.

Your second option is to bring the spa up to current common configuration. That SOUNDS hard but isn't overly so with our help. What you will have to do is replumb the equipment area and purchase a control system with the heater attached. For those options see >Electronic Spas

For either choice first identify whether you have one or 2 pumps. Also do you have an air blower(bubbler) where air bubbles out of the seats?

You will either have One Pump, Two Pumps, One Pump with Air Blower, or Two Pumps with Air Blower. Consider each pump or blower as a component. you will end up with 1, 2, or 3 components. You simple need to match a control system that can handle that number.

Then as mentioned above, are you going to stick with the configuration you have (see kits below) or replumb and have a spa that has the most common setup (see Electronic like above).

Keeping the Plumbing You Have.....

This system is made by Hydroquip. An excellent choice and the one we recommend.
It fits exactly where your current system fits with the innovative "SLIDE" series heater (as pictured). Whether your existing system has the heater below the control box or behind, this system adjusts for your spa.
The CS7000 operates on either 120 or 240vac. The CS7000 will operate one pump and one secondary component such as a second pump. Or just the one 2 speed pump. The unit will operate on either 115v or 230v. The components can be either voltage. (wiring change  within the control box may be required). There is also the option of adding a 3 component shown below to the right.
It also includes a new mood light cord to change from the AMP you have to the JJ cord you need. Simple to do.
Comes standard with a small topside but you can upgrade to a larger topside.

MOST SCM Spas have their existing GFCI onboard. All these units do NOT come normally with GFCI protection. We CAN have a GFCI built into the system
(additional production time might be required). If you do not chose this option but buy one of the three choices directly above, you MUST have a GFCI 240vac
installed either in the main panel or a subpanel.
