Why the Balboa Wavetec254 Belongs in Your Hot Tub
The Wavetec254 uses proven UV-C light technology to neutralize harmful microorganisms at the DNA level — including E. coli, Cryptosporidium, and many others — before they ever reach your skin. No harsh gases. No chemical byproducts. Just clean, safe, comfortable water every time you soak.
Destroys 99% of Bacteria, Viruses & Pathogens
UV-C light deactivates the DNA of harmful microorganisms on contact, delivering hospital-grade sanitation without the chemical load that irritates your eyes and skin.
Reduce Your Chemical Usage
By handling the heavy lifting of sanitation, the Wavetec254 significantly reduces the amount of chlorine or bromine your spa requires — saving you money on chemicals and protecting your equipment from corrosion.
Won't Damage Your Spa Equipment
Unlike ozone and salt systems, UV light sanitation does not degrade seals, pumps, heaters, or other spa components. Your investment is protected.
Built for the Hot Tub Environment
Constructed with 316L stainless steel and a special heat-treated housing, this unit is engineered specifically to withstand the heat, humidity, and pressure of a working hot tub. No melting. No degrading.
Low Power, Long Life
At just 7 watts and with a UV lamp rated for a standard 12,000 hours of service, the Wavetec254 is one of the most energy-efficient sanitation systems on the market. The UL-listed electronic ballast keeps power consumption minimal.
Compact and Easy to Mount
The built-in mounting bracket means no extra stands or clamps are needed. The small footprint fits easily within the spa cabinet underskirt, making installation straightforward for qualified technicians.

Maintenance at a Glance
Keeping your Wavetec254 running at peak performance is simple:
Every 6 months: Clean the quartz tube using a dry cloth or household lime remover. Rinse thoroughly before reinstalling.
Every 12 months: Replace the UV-C lamp (PN available through your spa manufacturer's certified dealer).
Status indicators: A solid green light on the ballast confirms the unit is receiving power. A solid red light confirms the UV-C lamp is actively running.
Important: UV-C lamp replacement and quartz tube maintenance should only be performed with the spa breaker turned to the OFF position. Never look directly at an operating UV-C lamp — UV-C radiation can cause serious eye and skin damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between model 59060 and 59061?
The only difference is voltage. The 59060 operates at 120V and is intended for North American spas wired at 120V. The 59061 operates at 230V/240V for spas on a higher-voltage circuit. Both deliver identical sanitation performance, flow ratings, and lamp life.
How does UV-C sanitation compare to ozone or salt systems?
UV-C light neutralizes pathogens on contact without generating any chemical byproducts. Unlike ozone, it does not produce gases that can damage gaskets, seals, or other spa components. Unlike salt systems, it does not corrode metal parts or increase total dissolved solids in your water.
How often does the UV lamp need to be replaced?
The UV-C lamp has a standard service life of 12,000 hours. Under typical hot tub usage, plan to replace the lamp once per year. Only use replacement lamps recommended by your spa manufacturer and supplied through an authorized distributor.
Can I install the Wavetec254 myself?
This unit is designed to be installed by spa manufacturers or qualified service technicians. It must be mounted completely underskirt of the spa, secured to the frame structure, and connected to the spa controller's dedicated UV/Ozone port. If you need help with installation or aren't sure whether your spa is compatible, contact Western Tub and Pool before purchasing.
What if I can't find my part number?
No problem. Send us a photo of the existing unit (if you have one), along with your hot tub's make, model, and serial number, to fixmytub@gmail.com. Our team will identify the correct part and confirm it's right for your spa before you order.
Is the Wavetec254 safe for use with existing chemicals?
Yes. The system is designed to work alongside your existing water chemistry routine. Because UV-C handles a significant portion of the sanitation load, you can typically reduce your chemical usage — but you should still maintain proper pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels as recommended by your spa manufacturer.
Can't Find Your Part? We Can Help.
Finding the right replacement part for your hot tub can be frustrating — especially when you're not sure of the part number or whether a component is compatible with your specific model.
At Western Tub and Pool, we specialize in hard-to-find spa parts and provide free, personalized assistance to get your hot tub back up and running as quickly as possible.
Here's how to get help:

If you need help with installation or aren't sure whether your spa is compatible, contact Western Tub and Pool before purchasing.
What if I can't find my part number?
No problem. Send us a photo of the existing unit (if you have one), along with your hot tub's make, model, and serial number, to fixmytub@gmail.com. Our team will identify the correct part and confirm it's right for your spa before you order.
Is the Wavetec254 safe for use with existing chemicals?
Yes. The system is designed to work alongside your existing water chemistry routine. Because UV-C handles a significant portion of the sanitation load, you can typically reduce your chemical usage — but you should still maintain proper pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels as recommended by your spa manufacturer.

Why the Balboa Wavetec254 Belongs in Your Hot Tub
The Wavetec254 uses proven UV-C light technology to neutralize harmful microorganisms at the DNA level — including E. coli, Cryptosporidium, and many others — before they ever reach your skin. No harsh gases. No chemical byproducts. Just clean, safe, comfortable water every time you soak.
Destroys 99% of Bacteria, Viruses & Pathogens
UV-C light deactivates the DNA of harmful microorganisms on contact, delivering hospital-grade sanitation without the chemical load that irritates your eyes and skin.
Reduce Your Chemical Usage
By handling the heavy lifting of sanitation, the Wavetec254 significantly reduces the amount of chlorine or bromine your spa requires — saving you money on chemicals and protecting your equipment from corrosion.
Won't Damage Your Spa Equipment
Unlike ozone and salt systems, UV light sanitation does not degrade seals, pumps, heaters, or other spa components. Your investment is protected.
Built for the Hot Tub Environment
Constructed with 316L stainless steel and a special heat-treated housing, this unit is engineered specifically to withstand the heat, humidity, and pressure of a working hot tub. No melting. No degrading.
Low Power, Long Life
At just 7 watts and with a UV lamp rated for a standard 12,000 hours of service, the Wavetec254 is one of the most energy-efficient sanitation systems on the market. The UL-listed electronic ballast keeps power consumption minimal.
Compact and Easy to Mount
The built-in mounting bracket means no extra stands or clamps are needed. The small footprint fits easily within the spa cabinet underskirt, making installation straightforward for qualified technicians.

Maintenance at a Glance
Keeping your Wavetec254 running at peak performance is simple:
Every 6 months: Clean the quartz tube using a dry cloth or household lime remover. Rinse thoroughly before reinstalling.
Every 12 months: Replace the UV-C lamp (PN available through your spa manufacturer's certified dealer).
Status indicators: A solid green light on the ballast confirms the unit is receiving power. A solid red light confirms the UV-C lamp is actively running.
Important: UV-C lamp replacement and quartz tube maintenance should only be performed with the spa breaker turned to the OFF position. Never look directly at an operating UV-C lamp — UV-C radiation can cause serious eye and skin damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between model 59060 and 59061?
The only difference is voltage. The 59060 operates at 120V and is intended for North American spas wired at 120V. The 59061 operates at 230V/240V for spas on a higher-voltage circuit. Both deliver identical sanitation performance, flow ratings, and lamp life.
How does UV-C sanitation compare to ozone or salt systems?
UV-C light neutralizes pathogens on contact without generating any chemical byproducts. Unlike ozone, it does not produce gases that can damage gaskets, seals, or other spa components. Unlike salt systems, it does not corrode metal parts or increase total dissolved solids in your water.
How often does the UV lamp need to be replaced?
The UV-C lamp has a standard service life of 12,000 hours. Under typical hot tub usage, plan to replace the lamp once per year. Only use replacement lamps recommended by your spa manufacturer and supplied through an authorized distributor.
Can I install the Wavetec254 myself?
This unit is designed to be installed by spa manufacturers or qualified service technicians. It must be mounted completely underskirt of the spa, secured to the frame structure, and connected to the spa controller's dedicated UV/Ozone port. If you need help with installation or aren't sure whether your spa is compatible, contact Western Tub and Pool before purchasing.

Maintenance at a Glance
Keeping your Wavetec254 running at peak performance is simple:
Every 6 months: Clean the quartz tube using a dry cloth or household lime remover. Rinse thoroughly before reinstalling.
Every 12 months: Replace the UV-C lamp (PN available through your spa manufacturer's certified dealer).
Status indicators: A solid green light on the ballast confirms the unit is receiving power. A solid red light confirms the UV-C lamp is actively running.
Important: UV-C lamp replacement and quartz tube maintenance should only be performed with the spa breaker turned to the OFF position. Never look directly at an operating UV-C lamp — UV-C radiation can cause serious eye and skin damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between model 59060 and 59061?
The only difference is voltage. The 59060 operates at 120V and is intended for North American spas wired at 120V. The 59061 operates at 230V/240V for spas on a higher-voltage circuit. Both deliver identical sanitation performance, flow ratings, and lamp life.
How does UV-C sanitation compare to ozone or salt systems?
UV-C light neutralizes pathogens on contact without generating any chemical byproducts. Unlike ozone, it does not produce gases that can damage gaskets, seals, or other spa components. Unlike salt systems, it does not corrode metal parts or increase total dissolved solids in your water.
How often does the UV lamp need to be replaced?
The UV-C lamp has a standard service life of 12,000 hours. Under typical hot tub usage, plan to replace the lamp once per year. Only use replacement lamps recommended by your spa manufacturer and supplied through an authorized distributor.
Can I install the Wavetec254 myself?
This unit is designed to be installed by spa manufacturers or qualified service technicians. It must be mounted completely underskirt of the spa, secured to the frame structure, and connected to the spa controller's dedicated UV/Ozone port. If you need help with installation or aren't sure whether your spa is compatible, contact Western Tub and Pool before purchasing.
What if I can't find my part number?
No problem. Send us a photo of the existing unit (if you have one), along with your hot tub's make, model, and serial number, to fixmytub@gmail.com. Our team will identify the correct part and confirm it's right for your spa before you order.
Is the Wavetec254 safe for use with existing chemicals?
Yes. The system is designed to work alongside your existing water chemistry routine. Because UV-C handles a significant portion of the sanitation load, you can typically reduce your chemical usage — but you should still maintain proper pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels as recommended by your spa manufacturer.
Can't Find Your Part? We Can Help.

Why the Balboa Wavetec254 Belongs in Your Hot Tub

Built for the Hot Tub Environment
Constructed with 316L stainless steel and a special heat-treated housing, this unit is engineered specifically to withstand the heat, humidity, and pressure of a working hot tub. No melting. No degrading.

Maintenance at a Glance
Keeping your Wavetec254 running at peak performance is simple:
Every 6 months: Clean the quartz tube using a dry cloth or household lime remover. Rinse thoroughly before reinstalling.
Every 12 months: Replace the UV-C lamp (PN available through your spa manufacturer's certified dealer).
Status indicators: A solid green light on the ballast confirms the unit is receiving power. A solid red light confirms the UV-C lamp is actively running.
Important: UV-C lamp replacement and quartz tube maintenance should only be performed with the spa breaker turned to the OFF position. Never look directly at an operating UV-C lamp — UV-C radiation can cause serious eye and skin damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between model 59060 and 59061?
The only difference is voltage. The 59060 operates at 120V and is intended for North American spas wired at 120V. The 59061 operates at 230V/240V for spas on a higher-voltage circuit. Both deliver identical sanitation performance, flow ratings, and lamp life.
How does UV-C sanitation compare to ozone or salt systems?
UV-C light neutralizes pathogens on contact without generating any chemical byproducts. Unlike ozone, it does not produce gases that can damage gaskets, seals, or other spa components. Unlike salt systems, it does not corrode metal parts or increase total dissolved solids in your water.
How often does the UV lamp need to be replaced?
The UV-C lamp has a standard service life of 12,000 hours. Under typical hot tub usage, plan to replace the lamp once per year. Only use replacement lamps recommended by your spa manufacturer and supplied through an authorized distributor.
Can I install the Wavetec254 myself?
This unit is designed to be installed by spa manufacturers or qualified service technicians. It must be mounted completely underskirt of the spa, secured to the frame structure, and connected to the spa controller's dedicated UV/Ozone port. If you need help with installation or aren't sure whether your spa is compatible, contact Western Tub and Pool before purchasing.
What if I can't find my part number?
No problem. Send us a photo of the existing unit (if you have one), along with your hot tub's make, model, and serial number, to fixmytub@gmail.com. Our team will identify the correct part and confirm it's right for your spa before you order.
Is the Wavetec254 safe for use with existing chemicals?
Yes. The system is designed to work alongside your existing water chemistry routine. Because UV-C handles a significant portion of the sanitation load, you can typically reduce your chemical usage — but you should still maintain proper pH, alkalinity, and sanitizer levels as recommended by your spa manufacturer.
Can't Find Your Part? We Can Help.
Finding the right replacement part for your hot tub can be frustrating — especially when you're not sure of the part number or whether a component is compatible with your specific model.
At Western Tub and Pool, we specialize in hard-to-find spa parts and provide free, personalized assistance to get your hot tub back up and running as quickly as possible.
Here's how to get help:
Check your part number if you know it, and match it against the models listed above (59060 for 120V, 59061 for 230V / 59061-01).

Why the Balboa Wavetec254 Belongs in Your Hot Tub
The Wavetec254 uses proven UV-C light technology to neutralize harmful microorganisms at the DNA level — including E. coli, Cryptosporidium, and many others — before they ever reach your skin. No harsh gases. No chemical byproducts. Just clean, safe, comfortable water every time you soak.
Destroys 99% of Bacteria, Viruses & Pathogens
UV-C light deactivates the DNA of harmful microorganisms on contact, delivering hospital-grade sanitation without the chemical load that irritates your eyes and skin.
Reduce Your Chemical Usage
By handling the heavy lifting of sanitation, the Wavetec254 significantly reduces the amount of chlorine or bromine your spa requires — saving you money on chemicals and protecting your equipment from corrosion.
Won't Damage Your Spa Equipment
Unlike ozone and salt systems, UV light sanitation does not degrade seals, pumps, heaters, or other spa components. Your investment is protected.
Built for the Hot Tub Environment
Constructed with 316L stainless steel and a special heat-treated housing, this unit is engineered specifically to withstand the heat, humidity, and pressure of a working hot tub. No melting. No degrading.
Low Power, Long Life
At just 7 watts and with a UV lamp rated for a standard 12,000 hours of service, the Wavetec254 is one of the most energy-efficient sanitation systems on the market. The UL-listed electronic ballast keeps power consumption minimal.
Compact and Easy to Mount
The built-in mounting bracket means no extra stands or clamps are needed. The small footprint fits easily within the spa cabinet underskirt, making installation straightforward for qualified technicians.

Smart water care made simple
Maintaining your hot tub shouldn't feel like a chemistry experiment. The Balboa Purezone Water Monitoring System with Hover replaces manual testing with advanced optical technology, delivering precision and peace of mind.
Forget messy test kits
Say goodbye to color-matching strips and liquid reagents. Purezone automates the process, checking your water daily or every other day without you lifting a finger.
Precision optical readings
Using advanced optical sensors, Purezone measures key water parameters including pH, free chlorine, total alkalinity, and temperature. This ensures your water is safe, clean, and comfortable for every soak.
Real-time alerts & expert advice
Connected via the Purezone app (iOS and Android), the system sends alerts directly to your phone. It doesn’t just tell you the levels; it provides personalized chemical dosing recommendations tailored to your specific spa size and sanitizer type.
Floats freely with no installation
Unlike wall-mounted monitors that require drilling, the Purezone Hover (96000) simply floats in your water. It’s the perfect "drop-and-go" solution for existing hot tubs.
How it works
1. Connect the App
Download the Purezone app, create your profile, and input your spa details (size and sanitizer type) for customized advice.
2. Float and Monitor
Place the charged Purezone Hover unit into your spa water. It uses a replaceable P3 cassette to perform automated tests.
3. Get Results
Receive instant updates on your phone. If your water needs attention, the app tells you exactly what to add to balance it.
Is my hot tub compatible?
The Balboa Purezone Hover is a floating system designed to work with most residential spas and swim spas up to 2,400 gallons (9,084 Liters).
Because it floats independently and operates on a rechargeable battery, it does not require a specific Balboa control pack to function as a monitor. It is an excellent addition for owners of major spa brands, including:
Cal Spas
Marquis Spas
Master Spas
Artesian Spas
Jacuzzi
Sundance
dynasty spa
maax spa
...and many others.
Note: If you are looking for the wall-mounted version, please check for the "Dock" model (Part #97000). The Hover (Part #96000) is designed specifically for floating use.
