The BRS1 control system retrofit kit is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement for older Nordic Hot Tubs control packs. This kit replaces outdated Crown Excel, Escape, and other discontinued Gecko-based spa packs. The factory original Nordic Hot Tub replacement includes a complete spa pack and heater. The heater operates at 1kW with 110 volts or 4kW with 220 volts.
The kit includes the 074001 control system and the original Nordic Hot Tubs four-button control panel with overlay. A light cord with an AMP plug and an 8-foot cord is also included, along with comprehensive installation instructions.
The included control panel features an intuitive four-button layout for Jets, Light, Cool, and Warm functions, alongside a digital display for temperature and status indication. This provides straightforward control over your hot tub’s essential functions.

This authentic BRS1 replacement control system ensures compatibility and reliable performance for your Nordic Hot Tub. The control panel measures 4 1/4″ x 1 5/8″ and comes with a 7-foot long cord featuring a phone-style connector for easy installation. The complete retrofit kit includes the VS300 type spa pack, keypad, overlay, and light cord. This kit is designed for use with one jet pump and an ozonator. For systems requiring two jet pumps, the BRS3 kit is recommended.
This spa pack is a convertible model, capable of operating with either 110v or 220v. It is shipped from the factory configured for 110v-120v operation. Conversion to 220v may require removing a jumper wire and adjusting a dipswitch, as detailed in the instructions located inside the spa pack.
This Old Spa Retrofit Controller 110v pack can be converted to 220v operation. Instructions for conversion are located inside the spa pack. Depending on the spa pump’s voltage requirements (110v or 220v), adjustments to the wiring may be necessary. If your spa pump is 220v, you might need to move a white wire on the W1 terminal from the white AC (110v pump) connection to the red AC (220v pump) connection. Ozonator compatibility varies; some models are convertible between voltages, while others are not. A non-convertible 110v ozonator can operate with a 220v pump if the system is configured correctly.
The factory default setting for this spa pack is 110v operation. Refer to the instructions on the inside cover of the pack for detailed conversion procedures to 220v. Incorrect voltage connection can damage the transformer, circuit board, or other components. Ensure the spa pack configuration matches your power supply (110v factory default, 220v possible with modification).
Before powering up the pack, complete any necessary voltage conversion. Verify that the pump is also correctly configured for the intended voltage by consulting the diagram inside the spa pack lid. The system can accommodate a 110v pump with a 220v power supply. Factory configuration is set for 110v, but detailed conversion instructions are on the back of the pack’s cover.
If you are unsure about the correct operating voltage for your spa model, provide your spa’s model and serial number for assistance. Two free heater gaskets are included with the kit. Some installations may require additional components. Impulse models might need the BRS1 Plumbing Kit, and some Escape models might need a control panel template (TEMPL1PBAL) to cover larger hole sizes.
