You are right Stuart, this the main reason why a tub in Canada is less likely to freeze. The tub isn't quite sure what temperature is correct.......unless its a D-1 displaying in Celcius. ::)

That is one feature, that I wish we had. I am a Celcius guy through and through...except when discussing hot tubs! I highly doubt many of my customers would share my opinion though. Most are dedicated Fahrenheit fans.

Maybe we should all just agree to use Kelvin ??? On the plus side we would never have to put in a degree symbol anymore. :)

Wouldn’t that confuse the heater if the topside is reading in Fahrenheit and the outside temp is being measured in Celsius?




Yip... you guessed it, that one particular brand had a lot of issues with confused heaters when it got cold ::);D. Could not set the topside to Celsius, only displayed Fahrenheit.

You can get a chip from Balboa if you want yours to read in Celcius. We got one for a 350, cost $50 USD

I had heard that there was something available. To date, I have not had anyone ask for it, and I simply couldn't justify buying it for myself.

Now if Keith wanted to make it standard on the tubs without charging us any more for them, I wouldn't complain.

HotSpring and Tiger River tubs can be set up to read C or F Just change a jumper on the main board.
