Balboa piezo button with LED
This stainless steel button can be used as an on/off control for a hot tub pump, blower or light, for example. It is a non-latching switch, which means that the contact is closed only while you are pressing the button, and it must therefore be hooked up to a timer relay to turn equipment on and off.
The Balboa Classic Line systems (which are no longer available for sale) had built-in timers and were designed to work with these buttons, but you can also use other systems.
The button has an icon in the middle (available with a jet, blower, or light icon), surrounded by a ring that lights up in blue. If you connect the button to a Classic Line box, then the blue ring will light up when the corresponding equipment is turned on.
The button comes with a cable measuring approximately 150 cm, an o-ring and a nut to fix it in place.
