Touchstone Horizontal Master Keypad (CIDU-264-03-01-02)
The oval Touchstone Horizontal Master Keypad from ITT Marlow is a purpose-built control hub for NuWhirl bathtub systems. With a compact 4.25" width and 1.7" height, this LCD-backed master keypad sits neatly in standard panel cutouts, delivering a clean, professional look and an intuitive user experience for bathers and installers alike.
Designed for simple installation and reliable operation, this keypad consolidates essential spa controls into one accessible surface. Its one-box design is purpose-built to streamline wiring and reduce the number of components required on the production line, making it a practical choice for both manufacturers and service technicians. The result is faster installs, fewer touchpoints to manage, and a more polished user interface for end users.
Crafted for daily use in high-end baths, the Touchstone master keypad centers around an easy-to-read LCD display and a five-button control surface. The layout supports quick, tactile feedback, so guests can adjust features without diverting their attention from the water’s relaxation. This combination of form and function is a hallmark of Touchstone’s approach to spa controls—clear, dependable, and aesthetically integrated into luxury bathtubs.
Five dedicated controls for precise spa customization
- Five buttons including two speed controls (plus and minus) and dedicated activations for the spa’s air and water features.
- A Pump button (single speed) for straightforward water flow management.
- An Air Blower button to activate air-assisted jets for enhanced bubbles and massage.
- An Air Blower Pump button to coordinate blower behavior with pump operation when a combined effect is desired.
Together, these controls provide a comprehensive, one-stop interface for managing jets, air blowers, and related features. The result is precise, repeatable performance that bathers notice and appreciate, with a control surface that’s easy to learn and quick to use. This exacting five-button arrangement is part of what sets Touchstone keypads apart in the Bath Parts landscape, aligning with NuWhirl’s emphasis on streamlined, feature-rich control surfaces.
Modern design meets practical function
The keypad’s modern, low-profile aesthetic is designed to complement high-end spa panels without drawing attention away from the tub’s water features. The oval form factor, combined with a bright, backlit LCD, provides immediate visibility and effortless status checks even in dim lighting. This design language is core to Touchstone’s philosophy: elegant hardware that remains unobtrusive while delivering powerful control capabilities.
Complete customization to match your brand and install needs
Touchstone master keypads support full customization, including overlay graphics, logos, and LED backlight color options, so manufacturers can harmonize the control surface with their product line. This level of customization helps create a cohesive bath experience, from the visual language on the panel to the tactile feedback bathers rely on during routines. The ability to tailor artwork and backlighting is a distinctive advantage of Touchstone master keypads.
Why this keypad is a smart fit for NuWhirl systems
NuWhirl’s TOUCHSTONE master keypads are designed to deliver all-in-one control over feature-rich bathtubs, including jets, air blowers/pumps, lighting, and microbubble therapies. The master keypad approach minimizes wiring and hardware while maximizing control at the user’s fingertips. For manufacturers, this means fewer SKUs to stock, quicker assembly, and a more consistent end-customer experience. The CIDU-264-03 series is positioned to pair seamlessly with NuWhirl’s control ecosystem and the broader TOUCHSTONE family of products.
Real-world usage scenarios
Ideal for new builds and remodeling projects where spa owners expect precise control over multiple features from a single, elegant interface. Use cases include adjusting jet and blower intensity during a relaxing soak, coordinating air-blower activity with pump cycling for a balanced massage, and activating ambient lighting to set a mood that complements microbubble therapies. The master keypad’s intuitive layout makes these routines straightforward for guests while giving technicians a reliable, repeatable control platform.
What makes this different from generic spa controls
Unlike standalone or multi-piece control kits, Touchstone’s master keypad consolidates core features into a single, streamlined interface that’s designed for installation efficiency and long-term reliability. The one-box design reduces wiring complexity and material costs, while the high-visibility LCD and tactile button feedback deliver a clear, confident user experience.
