5.5 KW Heater Assembly C2550-1002

HydroQuip 26-1002-7S-K | 5.5kW Titanium "Triple-Threat" Heater

The 26-1002-7S-K is a premium, high-efficiency Flo-Thru heater designed to withstand the harshest spa environments. While standard heaters use Incoloy elements that can pitted by salt systems or poor pH balance, this unit utilizes a Titanium element. This makes it the ideal choice for saltwater hot tubs or for owners who want a "install it and forget it" solution.

It is fully compatible with Balboa M7 systems and serves as a direct, bolt-in replacement for the standard 15-inch stainless steel heater tubes.

Key Features

• Titanium Heating Element: Superior resistance to corrosion, chemical damage, and pitting. Essential for saltwater chlorine generators.

• Universal Compatibility: Replaces Balboa 58083, 58000, 58010, 58121, and G7512 without any plumbing modifications.

• M7 Technology Ready: Comes pre-tapped and includes two M7-style sensors with 24-inch leads and 2-pin connectors.

• Heavy-Duty Housing: 15-inch 316L Stainless Steel tube provides a rigid, leak-proof foundation.

• Versatile Power: Rated for 5.5kW at 240V, but can be wired for 1.5kW at 120V for smaller systems.

Technical Specifications

Why Choose Titanium?

Most standard heaters fail due to chemical electrolysis—where the metal element is eaten away by water chemistry imbalances. Titanium forms a protective oxide layer that prevents this decay. If you have had to replace your heater more than once in the last 5 years, this is the upgrade you need.

What's in the Box? This kit is a "complete" assembly, including the 15" stainless tube, Titanium element, two M7 sensors, and two 2-inch split-nut unions with gaskets.
