	<strong>Message</strong>: I have a hot tub that has&nbsp;a Gecko Spa Pack. My heater has fried 2 time in the last 3 years and I am looking for a better hot tub&nbsp;heater.&nbsp; I have done some research and it seems that Balboa makes the best hot tub heaters.&nbsp; Will the Balboa <span class="scayt-misspell" data-scayt_word="VS501" data-scaytid="1">VS501</span> replace my Gecko S Class Spa Pack?&nbsp; Also I assume I need to buy the retrofit kit as my topside controller probably would not work?

	Joe, yes the Balboa <span class="scayt-misspell" data-scayt_word="VS501z" data-scaytid="5">VS501z</span> will replace your S Class Gecko Spa Pack.&nbsp; The heater tubes are the same length so it is an easy retrofit.&nbsp; Your Gecko Top Side Controller will not work with the Balboa Spa Pack so you will need to replace this with a retrofit kit.&nbsp; You can find all our retrofit kits on our <a href="https://www.cedartubsdirect.com/hot-tub-heaters-c-3.html">hot tub heater </a>page &nbsp; Dan<br />

	Great, you guys have amazing prices.&nbsp; I just placed my order.&nbsp; Is there any sort of retrofit manual that comes with the Balboa Hot Tub Heaters? &nbsp;<br />

	Joe yes you will receive a detailed installation manual designed by our engineers.&nbsp; It is about 10 pages and much more detailed than any manual produced by Balboa.&nbsp; Also if you have any question installing&nbsp; this hot tub heater&nbsp;it you can call us anytime! &nbsp; Thanks Dan<br />
