Why this pump is the right choice for your tub
If your whirlpool tub uses the Balboa WOW control system, this pump restores the original level of performance without a full system overhaul. Its self-draining volute minimizes water retention, reducing mildew and corrosion risk—an important practical advantage in both hot and cool climates. The 1.0 HP motor delivers robust jet action for a true hydrotherapy feel, while the compact form factor makes it ideal for retrofits where space is at a premium.

- Retrofits or upgrades for home spas seeking a quieter, more reliable pump with minimal downtime.
- New installations where a compact, UL/CSA-certified unit is preferred for safety and longevity.
Compatibility and installation insight
This pump is designed for homes using the Balboa WOW system and AB/Air tubing configurations. It runs on standard 115V supply and draws about 9 amps, fitting common electrical setups.
