The Balboa VL401 is the current LCD topside touchpad supplied for Balboa GS500Z, GS501Z, GS510Z, GS513Z, GS515Z, VS500Z, VS501Z, VS510Z, VS513Z, VS515Z and VS300FL4 spa control systems. It directly supersedes the discontinued red-LED Balboa VL403 — same dimensions, same 8-pin telephone-style connector, same mounting hole, same wiring. The only functional difference is the modern blue-on-black LCD display in place of the older red 7-segment LED.

We keep these physically in stock for fast shipping or local pick-up, unlike most drop-shipping websites.

Replaces the Red-LED Balboa VL403

Balboa Water Group discontinued the VL403 (red LED) and superseded it with the VL401 (LCD). If your spa originally shipped with a VL403 and the red display has dimmed, gone patchy, or failed completely, the VL401 is the correct drop-in replacement. The two panels are fully interchangeable — Balboa's own VL401/VL403 application notes confirm both panels share the same hardware platform; only the display module differs. No wiring changes, no software changes, no controller updates required.

Compatible Balboa Control Systems

The VL401 is supplied as a base or optional topside panel on these Balboa controllers:

GS Series: GS500Z, GS501Z, GS510Z, GS513Z, GS515Z
VS Series: VS500Z, VS501Z, VS510Z, VS513Z, VS515Z, VS300FL4
SCS: SCS501 / SCS501 1005

Pipe & Fittings Sizing Info

Plumbing sizes can be confusing. Pressure PVC pipe use nominal sizes - the size is simple a name, not the measured dimension. This convention is used across most pool and spa systems so that pipes and fittings remain compatible.

50mm / 2" = ~60-61mm OD
40mm / 1.5" = ~48mm OD
25mm / 1" = ~33-34mm OD

Plug Types & Styles

Common plug types found on spa equipment are AMP, Mini JJ, C38 (Aus 3-pin), Gecko in.link, etc. For more information please click here.

AMP plugs are the most common type used for over 20 years.
Many Mini J&J plugs are no longer available and must be modified.
C38 is the common Australian 3-pin plug found in normal household outlets.
Gecko (Aeware) in.link style plugs are no longer available and must be modified.
