Unless it's a 110 tub, you don't. If the system is designed to run on 220 the circ pump and flow pump will not function properly, the power pack may not function and the tub will never reach temp. If it is a 110 hot tub I would still suggest having a licensed electrician run the line for you. Most insurance companies will not cover any type of hot tub related claim unless installed by licensed tub tech/electrician. If you insist on wiring it yourself, the BLACK wire is the "hot" wire carrying the current. In 220 installations the RED wire is the second "hot" wire. The WHITE/GREY is the neutral wire, and the GREEN is the ground. But again, I STRONGLY recommend paying the $80-$95 bucks to have it done professionally. I hope this helps =)

For $80-$95???
thats the deal of a lifetime, maybe two?

anyway, many spas are dual voltage capable...
you need to read the inside of the control box schematic! Usually on the cover... If you see 'convertible' or how to wire for 110 & 220, then follow the appropriate wiring instructions.
if only 220 volt wiring instructions are present, then you can't use a 110 supply.
NORMALLY, 110 units will have a cord with a GFCI on it. If there was no cord, chances are you can't use 110.

Spa Heater problems- Balboa VS-501 controls #54356.

Use a high quality external temp probe and make sure the temp sensor in your system is correctly reading the water temp.
If the water is truly 110 then you may need to replace the board completely.

I need a users manual for the BalcoaValue 3 stystem, as I bought a house with a Great Lakesspa and I have no clue as to how to use the control. I need, specifically, to know how to adjust the temperature...

First and foremost, there really is no such thing as a Value 3 System by Balboa. Balboa has a large line of systems with various names such as Value Pack Retrofit kits, VS, ES, GS, and our new LM8000 systems. If you can locate your product part number on your system, you can visit the Balboa Direct website manual downloaded section at: BALBOA DIRECT MANUALS and download the latest manual for your product.

Hope that helps.

I just bought a used hot tub with a Balboa Instruments model WL T-Pro motor. The cord from the motor has been cut and the people who set the spa up for me wired the cord into a 220 plug. I don't have a...

There are electric motors that run on ether 110 or 220 but wire must be changed on the motor to change from one to the other. Look on the side or end of the motor housing for a identification sicker or plate it well have the information that well tell you which it is or if it can be either.
Now for the bad news if it was sit up for 110 or if it is only 110 the motor is most likely fried.

I have a balboa spa and on the led it reads DRY and could you help explain this for me . thank you

Dry means that there's insufficient flow of water through the heater, or non at all.

1) Check the water level - top up if low.
2) Ensure that all jets are open and flow water - if they don't you may have a pump issue.
3) Remove the filter(s) and see whether or not this clears the fault, if so clean or replace the filters.

Had a new heater element installed. won't go

You need to put the system into 'ST' mode. 'SL' stands for 'Sleep' and will prevent your spa from heating.

When you alter the set temperature via the keypad the display will flash the temperature thats to be acheived, once it stops flashing the keypad will revert back to the current temperature of the water.

Hope that helps,

WHAT IS THE MODE BUTTON FOR?

EC stands for Economy. Change the mode until you reach ST and then it will stop flashing and function as normal.

Economy mode only allows the heater to function when the hot tub is on its filtration cycle.
