Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if the Balboa VL700S 34-54716-K is compatible with my hot tub?
Check the part number on the back or underside of your existing topside control. If it matches any of the cross-reference numbers listed above, this is your replacement. Still unsure? Send us a photo of your current panel along with your spa's make, model, and serial number — we'll confirm the right fit before you order.
What is the difference between the 6-button (54716) and 7-button (53811) version?
The 6-button version (34-54716-K / 54716) controls 2 pumps but does not include a blower button. The 7-button version (53811) adds a dedicated blower control. If your original panel had no blower button, the 54716 is the correct choice.
Does this control come with the overlay?
Yes. The 34-54716-K includes the matching 6-button overlay (Ref. No. 11756), which shows Warm, Mode, Cool on the left and Light, Jets 1, Jets 2 on the right. No additional purchase is necessary.
What connector type does this panel use?
The VL700S uses an 8-pin phone jack style plug (RJ45) on a 7-foot cord — the same standard connector found on most Balboa control systems. It is a plug-and-play replacement for compatible systems.
My hot tub brand isn't listed — can I still use this panel?
Possibly, yes. Many hot tub manufacturers use Balboa Water Group electronics under their own brand name. If your spa uses a Balboa HS200, HS200M7, VS Series, or GS Series control pack, this panel is very likely compatible. Contact us with your details and we'll help you find out.
Can I return this part if it doesn't fit my spa?
Topside controls can only be returned for warranty purposes. This is why we strongly recommend confirming compatibility before purchasing. Reach out to us first — we are happy to help you get it right the first time.
