Blue Torrent Pro Series Variable Speed Inground Pool Pump
The Blue Torrent Pro Series Variable Speed Inground Pool Pump is built for pool owners who want better energy efficiency, quieter operation, and more control than a traditional single-speed pump.
Available in 1.5 HP, 1.65 HP, 2 HP, and 3 HP models, this pump series gives homeowners options for a wide range of residential inground pool systems. Instead of running at full power all day, a variable-speed pump can operate at lower speeds for everyday circulation and higher speeds when extra flow is needed.
That helps reduce energy use, lower operating costs, and gives you more control over filtration, heating, salt systems, and overall water circulation.

Best For

Why Upgrade to a Variable-Speed Pump?
A traditional single-speed pump runs at one speed: full power. That means the pump uses the same amount of energy whether your pool needs heavy circulation or just normal daily filtration.
A variable-speed pump gives you more control. You can run lower speeds for everyday circulation and increase speed when needed for heating, cleaning, priming, water features, or higher-flow demand.
For most pool owners, the biggest benefit is efficiency. Lower-speed operation can help reduce operating costs while still keeping water moving through the filter, heater, chlorinator, and plumbing system.
Why Choose the Blue Torrent Pro Series?
The Blue Torrent Pro Series keeps the value proposition simple: efficient variable-speed performance without unnecessary complexity.
The built-in controller gives you direct pump control, while WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity add convenient options for setup and day-to-day operation. The cool-running magnetic sync motor is designed to reduce overheating and improve long-term reliability, and the included unions help make installation easier on common 1.5" and 2" plumbing setups.
If you want the energy-saving benefits of variable-speed technology without paying top-tier pricing from the biggest name brands, this pump series deserves serious consideration.
Which Horsepower Should I Choose?
Choosing the right pump size depends on your pool size, plumbing, filter, heater, water features, and overall flow requirements.
| Model | Best For |
|---|---|
| 1.5 HP | Smaller to medium residential inground pools with simple circulation needs |
| 1.65 HP | Medium residential pools or replacement situations where a little more capacity is needed than 1.5 HP |
| 2 HP | Medium to large residential inground pools and most standard equipment pads |
| 3 HP | Larger pools, spas, water features, long plumbing runs, or higher-flow systems |
Summit Pool Supply Tip: Do not choose pump horsepower by pool size alone. Plumbing size, filter size, heater requirements, water features, and total system flow all matter. If you are replacing an existing pump, compare your current pump, plumbing layout, and equipment setup before ordering.
Summit Pool Supply Recommendation
We recommend the Blue Torrent Pro Series Variable Speed Pump for pool owners who want an efficient upgrade from an older single-speed pump without overspending on one of the highest-priced name-brand options.
For many standard residential inground pools, the 1.65 HP or 2 HP models will be the most common fit. Smaller pools with simple plumbing may only need the 1.5 HP model, while larger pools, spas, water features, or more demanding systems may require the 3 HP model.
The key is not choosing by horsepower alone. Pool size, plumbing, filter size, heater requirements, water features, and total system flow all matter. If you are unsure which size is right, contact Summit Pool Supply by call or text at (866) 689-0086 and we’ll help you choose the correct model.
