The part number G8470 identifies the Balboa TP700 topside control panel. This is an 11-button, oval LCD panel designed specifically for newer Balboa BP Series control systems.
Because Balboa Water Group is a primary supplier to the industry, this high-end control panel is used by a wide variety of spa manufacturers in their premium models.
The panel typically comes without an overlay (the sticker with button names) because manufacturers customize the button configurations for their specific spa models.

Key Compatibility Notes
System Match: The G8470 panel has a square, 4-pin Molex-style plug and is compatible only with Balboa BP Series spa packs (e.g., BP200, BP600, BP2000, BP7 series).
It will not work with the older VS/GS or M7 systems, even if the plug looks similar.
Overlay: This part number is for the panel hardware only. You must purchase the correct overlay (sticker) separately to match your spa's specific button configuration (e.g., overlays like 17391 or 17382).
Alternative Part Numbers: This panel can sometimes be used as a replacement for the TP800 series and replaces older part numbers like 57238, 57278, 57279, and 57280.
