This is the factory installed Hot Spring control panel for the Highlife and Limelight models beginning in 2015. It is only compatible with the IQ 2020 spa control system (Eagle Control box), part number (76836).
This control panel also replaces the now obsolete item 76844 control panel (dog bone style) which worked on Hot Spring models:
2009-2012 (2nd quarter) Aria (AR), Grandee (GG), Prodigy (H), Sovereign (II), Jetsetter (JJ), Envoy (KK), Vista (SS), Vanguard (VV); and
2012-2013: All Hot Spring models
2014: Aria (AR), Vanguard (VV), Sovereign (II), Prodigy (H), Jetsetter (JJ)
NEW RETROFIT OPTION: This control panel can also replace the wireless remote and docking station on Hot Spring Highlife models from 2014 to 2018 (old ACE salt system) and 2019-2023 (new Freshwater Salt System). In order to make that retrofit work, you will need to order the 700051 control panel bezel adapter. A software change/update and configuration will be needed. The following functions will be lost when switching from the wireless remote/docking station to this control panel:
1.) Clean cycle scheduling: They will not be able to set the clean cycle to come at a certain time.
2.) Exterior lights scheduling: They will not be able to set the exterior lights to come at a certain time.
*NOTE: If you’re switching from 76844 (obsolete dog bone style control panel) to this control panel, you will need to update your control box software. Make sure to add the free USB software to your cart.

Oscar helped with my order and validated the correct part for my hot tub. Very helpful and courteous.
Backyard Plus is the best!! For this order, I received it VERY WELL packaged, as some of the items could have been damaged easily in transport - but they were perfect! They were shipped faster than I expected, and it's just the kind of experience you want when you're buying online. I've ordered from Backyardplus a few times over the past years, (2013) and they were excellent even back then.

Needed to replace the mainboard on my 2013 Caldera Spa and Backyardplus had it the replacement PCBA. They programmed it and I installed it with no issues. Spa works great. Thank you for the great support!

Found exactly what I needed, but I forgot to order a gasket. It would be nice if the site was able to provide a "Compatible with this" section with links to the products.

I have a 16 year old Hot Springs Vanguard hot tup. It has been a great tub all these years, however items have started failing and BackYard Plus has the best website for troubleshooting and locating the right part! Recently my heater stopped working , the front panel controls were in-operable. Working with the great staff it was determined I needed a new control board and from panel controller. After successful installation with the excellent documentation that comes with the parts, my 16 year old tub is working like the day it was delivered! I will always get my hot tub support and parts from BACKYARD PLUS!
