Balboa Niagara 2HP Two-Speed Hot Tub Jet Pump 2" Ports
The Balboa Niagara is a high-performance, two-speed jet pump built for demanding hot tub and spa installations. Producing 2HP through a robust TEFC (Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled) motor, this pump is engineered to deliver powerful hydrotherapy performance on high speed while maintaining energy-efficient, quiet operation on low speed — giving you and your customers the best of both worlds.
Designed as a direct replacement for Vico Ultrajet, Ultimax, and Sta-Rite pumps, the Niagara is a factory-fitted pump in a number of well-known spa brands including Hydropool, Canadian Spa, Master Spa, Elite Spas, and Dimension One. Its wet end features centre suction with a radial side discharge port that can be rotated to the 3, 9, or 12 o’clock position — offering genuine installation flexibility when working in tight spa cabinets.
Supplied complete with a 4-core cable and AMP plug for straightforward integration with compatible Balboa control systems, the Niagara is sold individually and ready to install.

The Niagara is commonly factory-fitted in Hydropool, Canadian Spa, Master Spa, Elite Spas, and Dimension One hot tubs. It is also a direct replacement for Vico Ultrajet, Ultimax, and Sta-Rite pumps. If you’re unsure about compatibility with your specific model, please contact us with your spa’s make, model, and year of manufacture.
On low speed (1,425 RPM / 1.9 A), the pump circulates water quietly and efficiently — ideal for filtration cycles or gentle use. On high speed (2,875 RPM / 9.0 A), it delivers full jet power for hydrotherapy massage. Two-speed pumps are more energy-efficient than single-speed alternatives running continuously at full power.
TEFC stands for Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled. This motor design prevents moisture, dust, and debris from entering the motor casing, making it well-suited to the damp environment of a spa cabinet. The external fan keeps the motor cool during extended operation.
Yes. The radial side discharge on the Niagara’s wet end can be rotated to the 3, 9, or 12 o’clock position, giving you flexibility to align the outlet with your existing spa plumbing without additional fittings.
The pump is supplied with a 4-core cable and AMP plug as standard, designed for direct connection to compatible Balboa control packs. No additional adapters are typically required on Balboa-equipped spas.
The Balboa Niagara is sold individually. If your hot tub requires two jet pumps, please add the required quantity to your order.
