Balboa Water Group BP Series Systems
User Interface and Programming Reference
The spaTouch™ Icon Driven panel is compatible with all BP systems that already support the TP800 and/or the TP900.
If this panel is used with a system that supports only the TP400 and/or TP600, many screens will work correctly,
and the spa screen will try to display all of your equipments, but in some cases it may not display correctly.

The Spa Screen
All Equipment Access
The Spa Screen shows all available equipment* to control. The display shows icons that are related to the equipment
installed on a particular spa model, so this screen may change depending on the installation.
The icon buttons are used to select and control individual devices.
Some devices, like pumps, may have more than one ON state, so the icon will change to reflect the state of the
equipment. Below are some examples of 2-speed Pump indicators.
Jets HighJets LowJets O
If the Spa has a Circ Pump, a Circ Pump Icon will appear to indicate its activity, but outside of Priming Mode,
the Circ Pump cannot be controlled directly.
*One exception: The Main Spa Light is not shown on the Spa Screen; it is only shown (and controlled) on the Main Screen.
