{"product_id":"sc-q601au-30","title":"Davey Spa-Quip Spa Power 601 (SP601) 3.0kW Spa Controller with Oval Touchpad — Replaces SP600","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eDavey Spa Power 601 (SP601)\u003c\/strong\u003e is the genuine replacement spa control system for the now-obsolete \u003cstrong\u003eSpa Power 600 (SP600)\u003c\/strong\u003e. This configuration is supplied with a \u003cstrong\u003e3.0kW\u003c\/strong\u003e heater and the \u003cstrong\u003eoval touchpad\u003c\/strong\u003e, ready to restore full automatic control of your spa’s heating, filtration, pump, blower and light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color:#007D93;font-weight:600;\"\u003eWe keep these physically in stock for fast shipping or local pick-up, unlike most drop-shipping websites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGenuine Davey Spa Power 601 Control System\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Davey’s long-running Spa-Quip SpaPower range, the SP601 runs on 230–240 V single-phase power and uses Davey’s optical water sensor and digital temperature sensor for reliable, accurate control. Bathers operate the spa from a sealed, safety extra-low-voltage (under 12 V) touchpad mounted on the spa shell — so there are no mains-voltage parts within reach of the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e3.0kW Heater — Which Size Is Right for You?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the \u003cstrong\u003e3.0kW\u003c\/strong\u003e heater configuration, which draws approximately 12–13 A and is best paired with a dedicated 15 A supply for the fastest heat-up on larger spas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe controller automatically load-manages the heater against the pump and blower so the total draw stays within your supply. The simplest rule when replacing a failed unit is to \u003cstrong\u003ematch the heater size your spa was originally supplied with\u003c\/strong\u003e. If you’re unsure, check the rating printed on your old controller, or ask our team and we’ll confirm it for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSmart Temperature \u0026amp; Filtration Control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet your ideal temperature from the poolside touchpad in 0.5°C steps, anywhere from 10°C to a maximum of 41.5°C (we recommend keeping spa water at or below 40°C). The SP601 then maintains it automatically. Choose \u003cstrong\u003eDemand Heating\u003c\/strong\u003e (Ht.d) for fastest response, or \u003cstrong\u003eFiltration-Only Heating\u003c\/strong\u003e (Ht.F) to limit cycling. Minimum daily filtration is programmable from 0 to 15 minutes per hour, and a one-touch 90-minute clean-up cycle is ready after every soak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWorks With Your SpaPower Pump, Blower \u0026amp; Light\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SP601 supports single-speed or two-speed jet pumps, with or without a near-silent 24 hour circulation pump for continuous filtration. It also drives a SpaPower air blower — including the variable-speed SPVSB with adjustable and oscillating modes — plus SpaPower LED lighting, whether the single-colour SPCL or the multi-colour SPVCL (12 colours plus white).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOval vs Rectangular Touchpad\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe touchpad is the sealed keypad mounted on your spa shell. This model ships with the \u003cstrong\u003eoval touchpad\u003c\/strong\u003e. The controller electronics are identical across both shapes — simply choose the shape that matches your existing panel cut-out so it drops straight in. If your spa currently has the other shape, let us know and we’ll supply the matching pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompare the Full Spa Power 601 Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeed a different heater size or touchpad?

You can usually identify an older system by the colour of its control box — earlier Spa Power units were housed in \u003cstrong\u003eblack\u003c\/strong\u003e cases, and some in \u003cstrong\u003eblue\u003c\/strong\u003e. If you have a black or blue SP600-era controller, the SP601 is its modern replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne important installer note: many original SP600 systems used the older \u003cstrong\u003eMini JJ\u003c\/strong\u003e plug connectors, while current Spa Power components use industry-standard \u003cstrong\u003eAMP\u003c\/strong\u003e plugs. When upgrading, the plugs on your pump, blower and light leads may need to be changed over from Mini JJ to AMP to suit the new controller — a straightforward job for a spa technician. Ask us if you need the matching AMP connectors or advice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpa Power 601 systems are fitted to a wide range of Australian-made and imported spas. If you have a WWDG, SpaPro or similar spa originally supplied with a Davey SpaPower controller, the SP601 is the current genuine replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Davey Spa-Quip — SpaPower range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Spa Power 601 (SP601)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeater element: 3.0kW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupply: 230–240 V single phase · 30 mA RCD required (AS\/NZS 3000)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature range: 10°C–41.5°C in 0.5°C steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTouchpad: Oval\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTime clock: Not fitted (see the -T time-clock models)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaces: Spa Power 600 (SP600)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: Q601AU-30\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Davey · 1-year Davey warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpa Water Care — Quick Reference\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo protect your heater element and metalwork (and your warranty), Davey recommends: chlorine 1.5–3.0 ppm, pH 7.2–7.6, and total alkalinity 80–120 ppm.
