How to Identify Your Circuit Board
Ordering the wrong circuit board is a costly mistake — and an easy one to make, because many Balboa boards look nearly identical. Here's how to make sure you're ordering the right one:
- Locate the chip number: Find the small white sticker near the center of your existing circuit board. The chip number — not the board's appearance — is what identifies it.
- Note your five-digit board number: Most Balboa boards have a five-digit number (e.g., 54383) printed or labeled on the board.
- Gather your spa details: Your spa's make, model, and serial number will help us cross-reference your part quickly.
- Send us a photo: If you're unsure, email a clear photo of your existing board to fixmytub@gmail.com and our team will confirm the match.
Important: Do not order a circuit board based on looks alone. Multiple boards share the same appearance but contain different chips and software. Always verify using the chip number or contact us first.
