The Balboa 54130 topside is compatible with the following spa control systems:
Balboa VS and GS systems
Balboa JumpKing systems
Balboa ICON-15 systems
This topside is a good choice for spas that do not require a lot of controls. It is simple to use and has a durable construction. The LED display is easy to read and the 4 buttons provide quick access to the most important functions.
If you are looking for a more advanced topside with more features, you may want to consider the Balboa SpaTouch3 or SpaTouch2 panels. These panels have touchscreen displays and a wider range of functions, such as music control, lighting control, and energy saving modes.
The Balboa TP403 topside control panel (often interchangeable with or referenced alongside the VL403) is a standard industry component used by dozens of major hot tub brands. Because it is a generic part, the physical appearance may vary based on the specific brand's custom overlay (the sticker on the faceplate).

Key Technical Compatibility
The TP403-style panels are typically part of the Balboa BP or VS/GS (Z-series) control systems.
They are frequently found in entry-level or "Plug and Play" 110V spas due to their simplified 3-button or 4-button configurations.
Common Part Numbers: 54130, 51676, 54664, 52345, 54104.
Common Replacement: It is often used as a direct replacement for discontinued "Duplex" LED panels.
If you are replacing this part, ensure the button layout on your new panel matches your current one (e.g., Temperature, Jets, Light) to ensure the internal circuitry aligns with your spa's functions.
