This allows you to access your hot tub via a direct connection anywhere in the local proximity of your tub, anywhere in your
house that you can connect to your local WiFi network, or from any internet/3G/4G network.

System & WiFi Router Requirements:

bwa communicates over a 2.4GHz home network supporting 802.11b/g/n wireless technology. Note: 5GHz networks are not supported.  
Standard wireless setup supports only home network routers configured to use open (no security) or WEP/WPA/WPA2.

A WiFi signal strength of -50 dBM or better is highly suggested to ensure non-interrupted cloud service.  If you need to move your module closer to the router, you can order an extension cable from 7ft. to 100 ft in length (7, 25,50,100):

bwa™ wireless access is not supported on: Guest networks/Hotspots that use a portal page to login.

If using a dual band router 2.4/5 GZ, then separate the networks and connect to the 2.4 GZ
Enterprise access points configured to require certificates or some other form of enterprise authentication (aka "802.1X", "RADIUS", or "WPA/WPA2 Enterprise").

You need a Balboa BP main spa pack/control system to use this Wifi Module for your spa.  Balboa Recommends your electrician install this system. Begin with power off and the electrician can follow the bwa installation guide.

Can use wifi with BP Series Balboa control systems including BP501, BP501X, BP601, BP2000 and BP2100.

To install n a BP500 or BP600 spa pack/system, you may need a y-cable that  is plugged into the circuit board (splitter) and the WiFi Cable is plugged into the first end of the Y-Cable panel jack and the Control panel is installed in the second end of the Y-Splitter cable. Cables are safely routed within the control box to a port on the side of the spa pack. We do offer a y-splitter cable as an accessory if needed, but many of the BP Balboa spa packs already have 2 ports - one on the circuit board and one wire that is already routed to outside the box.

The topside control cable leads to the control panel and the other cable leads to the wifi module, which should be installed away from any metal hot tub supports for best reception.

On the BP501 and BP601 systems,the procedure is similar where a y-splitter cable is used to connect both the wifi module and the control panel.

Follow directions for the BP2000 and BP2001 systems.  These systems have 2 jacks (J34 and J35), so there is usually no need for the splitter cable. The wifi module goes in one jack and the control panel goes in the other.

Power off the spa before installing. The tub must be powered off for the Wi-Fi module to initialize properly. If your tub has been pre-installed with a Wi-Fi connection cable, open the equipment
compartment and plug the bwa module into it.

This is the latest version 6 of this wifi module.  Must have Balboa BP system to use this item.50350-06 is same as 50350and 50619.

51159 is this part number that refers to this kit of 50350-06 plus the welcome kit as well as the  y splitter cable.  Don't need the y-cable? See 50350-06

The easiest way to check if you can see your home Internet network from your tub, is to try and connect to it with your smart device next to the tub. Open a browser window and connect to the Internet (or any other app that connects to the Internet).
While standing at your tub, if you can connect your smart device to the Internet through your home network, then the
tub bwa Wi-Fi module should be able to connect to your home network also.
If you cannot connect to the Internet through your home network, you may need to move your router or add a repeater or some other signal booster so you can see your network at your tub.
It is not possible to connect to the spa via “the cloud” without a third “device” such as a network router, or device used as a hot spot. If no third device exists the bwa module operates in local direct connect mode only.

Control your hot tub via your smart device via 3G, 4G, or WiFi hot spots.
