Balboa 1 HP Dura-Jet (Cascade) Spa Pump — 115V, 2-Speed, 2" Ports
Engineered for longevity and whisper-quiet performance, the Balboa 1.0 HP Dura-Jet (Cascade) spa pump delivers reliable circulation and robust jet flow when your hot tub needs it most. Built for North American 115V systems, this two-speed pump combines efficiency with power, making it a practical, long-term upgrade for spa owners and service professionals alike.
Why this Dura-Jet Cascade pump stands out
The Dura-Jet family is known for dependable operation and easy installation. The Cascade variant takes that reliability and pairs it with precise flow management, helping spas maintain optimum temperature, pressure, and jet experience without unnecessary noise or energy waste. The true rated 1 hp motor ensures strong performance across common spa loads, while the two-speed design lets you balance circulation and energy use according to usage patterns.

Design that enhances performance and serviceability
