Balboa Convertassage Wall Fitting with Bearing, White, 56-5215WHT

The Balboa Water Group 56-5215WHT is the Converta’ssage wall fitting with bearing, in white. It is the replacement component for HydroAir Convertassage jet systems.

What the bearing does

The fitting carries an internal bearing that is driven by the water passing through it. That is what produces the rotational movement the Convertassage jet is known for, and because it runs on flow rather than on grease, there is nothing to lubricate or service. When the bearing wears, the jet keeps passing water but the sweeping motion fades, which is usually the first sign the fitting needs replacing.

Fit and finish

The body is white plastic, chosen to sit unobtrusively against most spa interiors, and it is built to last as a permanent replacement rather than a temporary patch. The bearing comes as part of the fitting, so this is a single piece swap.
