Independent Supplier & Replacement Part Notice
We are an independent parts supplier and are not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Watkins, Hot Spring, Caldera, Tiger River, or Solana. These names and their part numbers are used only to identify compatibility.
We offer replacement parts as alternatives to spa-branded parts. When this listing identifies a part as the same original-manufacturer replacement, it is supplied under the component manufacturer’s branding and part number, which may differ from the Watkins or spa-brand label and number. Other compatible alternatives are identified in the individual product listing. Please review the listed specifications, fitment details, and any installation differences before ordering.
You are buying a Complete Replacement 5.5KW Heater Assembly that fits a Gecko SSPA or Spa Builders Pack. This Heater Assembly includes the Tube, Element, Split nuts and Gaskets. It has a 15" length and 2" union that measure 3" inside. There are two variations of this heater and this model is used for systems that have the original heater design with removable wires or soldered tabs like pictured. Your bonding lug will get transferred from the original heater to this new one.
The pressure switch is not included with this heater. You can either reuse yours or see below for the two most common switches used by Gecko on the S-Class pack
Pressure Switch, Choice # 1: Universal Tecmark Low Voltage Pressure Switch, 1/8" Mpt, 1 Amp
Pressure Switch, Choice # 2: Universal DTEC Hot Tub and Spa Pressure Switch, Small, 1 Amp
If you have the newer style heater that has wires or pigtails soldered to the heater terminals with copper ends then this heater is not correct. We do carry that version heater here: Gecko Spa Hot Tub S-Class Heater 5.5kw w/ Pigtails and Gasket, SSPA How To Video
