Complete control of your spa from anywhere, at any time
Imagine being able to control your spa from your mobile phone: from work, on your way home or even while travelling, so that when you arrive everything is ready and prepared for you to enjoy the perfect soak. This is possible thanks to Touch Panel 4, the technology that enables remote control and programming integrated into the BALBOA® system of our spas. While the BALBOA® system manages the spa’s essential functions — such as activating the massage pumps, regulating the temperature or controlling filtration cycles — Touch Panel 4 takes this management to a fully remote environment, accessible from any mobile device running Android or iOS.
Spas equipped with Touch Panel 4 operate through the Control My Spa app, which is currently free of charge and provides an intuitive, fast and barrier-free control experience. In addition, from 2026 onwards, all manufactured spas will include Touch Panel 4 as standard, establishing this technology as the benchmark in connectivity and user experience. Beyond convenience, this solution becomes a strategic tool for improving energy efficiency, enabling consumption to be optimised according to the user’s habits and preferences.

What does BP compatibility mean?
BP compatibility means that the panel is able to operate correctly with BP electronic control systems, which are the operational core of the spa. These systems manage key functions such as the hydromassage pumps, the heater, the lighting, filtration, sensors and temperature settings. In the case of Touch Panel 4, this compatibility applies to BP systems with software version 9.0 or later, ensuring optimal communication between the panel and the control system. This translates into smoother operation, faster response times and greater stability in the spa’s overall performance.
What happens if my spa has Touch Panel 3?
Spas equipped with Touch Panel 3 can also offer mobile control, although with a different setup and under different conditions:
- They require an additional WiFi module (not integrated as standard).
- They operate through the BWA (Balboa Worldwide App).
- Control in local mode (same Wi-Fi network) is free of charge.
- Remote control from any location (Cloud mode) is subject to a subscription model, managed directly through the app.
To facilitate the transition, users are provided with free trial periods, the duration of which varies depending on their previous use of the app.
In this context, Touch Panel 4 represents a significant evolution, as it integrates Wi-Fi connectivity as standard, simplifies the user experience and eliminates the need for additional modules or external configurations.
