Standard 3.0KW Flow-Through Heating Element designed for dual voltage operation (115V or 230V) with the distinctive rear bend required for proper installation in Balboa M-7 heater assemblies.
This 10-inch Incoloy element provides universal compatibility with Gecko, ACC, and most conventional spa heater tubes found in modern hot tub systems.
Troubleshooting Guide: If your circuit breaker trips during testing, disconnect the element and reset the breaker. Reconnect the element—if tripping recurs, the heating element requires replacement. For non-tripping scenarios, use an ohmmeter across both terminals; a properly functioning unit should register approximately 14.5K ohms. A reading of 0K indicates an open circuit. If the breaker remains stable and ohm readings are normal, investigate alternative causes such as defective pressure switches, clogged filtration, inadequate water circulation, or control board circuit failures.
