Aeware in.yj-2 Spa System
The Aeware in.yj-2 spa system is a versatile and compact controller, typically set up with a 10A circuit. It is built on the same platform as the in.ye series controllers, but this model features direct spade terminal connections, making it a highly universal spa pack.
Touchpad Compatibility
The in.k200 touchpad may require hole size modification and can replace:
- Gecko K-9
- Balboa VL200
- Spaquip / Davey SP601
For replacing Balboa VL401 and ML700 touchpads, see other available kit versions.
System Compatibility
The in.yj-2 is a universal spa control system suitable for:
- 1 x 2-speed pump
- 1 x 1-speed pump + blower
- 1 x 1-speed pump, blower, and 24-hour circulation pump
- Ozone & LED light support
Heater Specifications
- 1.3kW heater
- In-line remote heater (15” long x 2” stainless steel tube, complete with unions)
Electrical & Connectivity
- 230-240V, 50Hz
- 10A – 32A max single-phase
-
Utilizes 6.4mm spade terminals for direct connection to:
- Pump 1
- Blower
- Ozone
- Circulation Pump
- All inputs and outputs wired directly onto relay spade terminals on the circuit board
- Light Output: 12V AC, 0.5A / 6W max (cannot use a standard 12W incandescent lamp)
-
Max Current Draw:
- All outputs combined (including heater): 32A
- Any individual pump: 10A
Ideal Replacement For:
The in.yj-2 is perfect for replacing spa controllers used with a separate pump, including:
- Older "all-in-one" hot pumps
- Spaquip Pulsar Series
- Spaquip 2095 Series (with 2 outputs + light)
This unit offers a reliable, modern, and adaptable solution for spa system upgrades.
In plumbing, named sizes are not the actual measurements. A pipe called “50mm” or “2"” does not measure 50 mm across. Instead, it follows nominal sizing, an internationally-standardised naming system.
Use the Outside Diameter (OD) to check your pipe against fittings. Below is a quick reference for common spa & pool pipe sizes:
Imperial Name | Metric Name | Pipe Diameter (OD) |
---|---|---|
1" | 25 mm | ~33.4–33.7 mm |
1.5" | 40 mm | ~48.1–48.4 mm |
2" | 50 mm | ~60.2–60.5 mm |
2.5" | 65 mm | ~75.2–75.5 mm |
These are nominal sizes and are designed to fit matching fittings — not to measure exactly what their name suggests.
Understanding Plumbing Sizes & Nominal Measurements
Plumbing sizes can be confusing. PVC and many other pipe systems use nominal sizes—the size is a name, not the exact measured dimension. This convention is used across most pool and spa systems so that pipes and fittings remain compatible.
Why pipe sizes don’t match the measurements
The Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) system standardises pipe dimensions so that pipes, fittings, valves, and accessories interoperate. Plumbers work with these nominal names every day, but DIYers can be tripped up if they try to match by a tape-measure alone.
How to Measure Pipe Correctly
-
Pipe size is identified by:
- The pipe’s Outside Diameter (OD).
- The fitting’s Inside Diameter (ID) (socket opening).
- Pipe Class / Schedule (e.g., Class 9, 12, 18 or Sch 40) relates to wall thickness and therefore the Internal Diameter (ID) and pressure rating.
- The outside diameter of a fitting is not useful (wall thickness varies by manufacturer).

Common nominal sizes with typical outside diameters and indicative inside diameters by class.
Imperial Name | Metric Name | Outside Diameter (OD) | Class 9 IDº | Class 12 IDº | Class 18 IDº |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1/2" | 15 mm | ~21.2–21.5 mm | 18.3 mm | 17.8 mm | |
3/4" | 20 mm | ~26.6–26.9 mm | 23.7 mm | 22.4 mm | |
1" | 25 mm | ~33.4–33.7 mm | 30.5 mm | 29.8 mm | 28.1 mm |
32 mm | ~42.1–42.4 mm | 38.5 mm | 37.5 mm | 35.4 mm | |
1.5" | 40 mm | ~48.1–48.4 mm | 45.2 mm | 44.1 mm | 42.8 mm |
2" | 50 mm | ~60.2–60.5 mm | 55.2 mm | 53.7 mm | 50.5 mm |
65 mm | ~75.2–75.5 mm | 68.9 mm | 67.0 mm | 63.2 mm | |
2.5" | ~73 mm |
- º Internal diameters vary slightly by manufacturer and class.
- 1 Not all pool/spa fittings match these dimensions exactly. Some do not follow Australian or international standards. Chinese spas may use proprietary fittings.
Hose & Tube Dimensions
Common flexible hose sizes used in pool/spa systems (approximate IDs).
Imperial Name | Metric Name | Inside Diameter (ID) |
---|---|---|
3/8" | 9–10 mm | ~9 mm |
3/4" | 19 mm | ~19 mm |
BSP – British Standard Pipe Thread Sizes
BSP thread names are also nominal. The thread OD will not equal the nominal name.
BSP Thread Size Naming | Outside Diameter (mm / inch) | TPI |
---|---|---|
1/16" BSP | 7.7 mm / 0.304" | 28 |
1/8" BSP | 9.7 mm / 0.383" | 28 |
1/4" BSP | 13.16 mm / 0.518" | 19 |
3/8" BSP | 16.66 mm / 0.656" | 19 |
1/2" BSP / 15 mm | 20.99 mm / 0.825" | 14 |
5/8" BSP | 22.99 mm / 0.902" | 14 |
