Balboa's very popular 3 kW M7 heater is compatible with the vast majority of Balboa M7 control systems, including the GS series and, GL2000 and GL2001 (but not the GL8000). It has an Incoloy element, which is perfect for most requirements.
The Balboa M7 control system uses two temperature sensors inside the barrel of the heater itself to detect the rate of water flow. This makes it much more reliable, in our experience, than competitive systems that use failure-prone moving parts instead, such as pressure switches or flow switches. M7 heaters require a minimum water flow rate of 75 litres/minute (4.5 m³/hour).
Dimensions
Length: 381 mm (without connectors and gaskets)
Usually connected to 2-inch pipes
Connection
The heater is supplied with its two 2" connections and gaskets. If you are replacing an existing heater or the same time, this is usually all you need. If you need this heater for a new installation, remember to also get tailpieces for 2-inch or 1.5-inch pipes.

Excellent price and delivery. Only one small criticism the fly leads are a little bit short, but did reach the sockets on the mother board. This was bought to replace a heater by identifying the previous part number and was a direct and straight forward DIY replacement.
Good value you money, extremely efficient from order to delivery. As above sensor leads a little short and only just reached, but heater was easy to fit.
Fast delivery of the product to Denmark. Easy to instal. I saved a lot :-)
I was in need of a Balboa spa heater and contacted Balboa in the US. They referred me to Hydrospares in the UK, who I emailed and received a reply from Aaron the very next working day. Aaron assisted me with finding the correct part and the unit was ordered, dispatched and received within 3 working days. You can’t fault service that good. Thank you Aaron for your help and I’ll certainly use Hydrospares as my number 1 contact in the future.
