The power consumption of your Spa pool can be found on the Identification / Compliance Label of
your Spa (read about in ‘Indentification / Compliance Label secction of this manual.
Power consumption is expressed in ‘Full Load’ and also ‘Load Shed’
Full Load -
is the maximum full load current draw of the Spa.
Load Shed -
is a feature of the Balboa Control System which by a minor setting change will cause
the heater to shut down when the boost pump or blower is actuated. Hence the lower power consumption valve.
Directions on ascertaining this setting can be found on the back of the Control Box lid.
