💧 Speck BADU EasyFit 29 – 1.30 kW Three-Phase Commercial Pool Pump

Industrial-Grade German Engineering: Built for Continuous Commercial Operation

📋 Product Overview

The Speck BADU EasyFit 29 Three-Phase is an industrial-grade circulation pump engineered specifically for commercial pools, aquatic centres, and high-demand installations. Delivering 1.30 kW of robust output through a three-phase 400V motor, this pump is designed for environments where continuous, trouble-free operation isn’t optional – it’s essential.

Three-phase motors offer significant advantages over their single-phase counterparts in commercial settings: smoother running characteristics, lower starting currents, reduced vibration, and enhanced energy efficiency during extended operation. The EasyFit 29 3-Phase harnesses these benefits whilst maintaining the revolutionary installation flexibility that has made the EasyFit series “the champion of flexibility” among pool professionals.

With six comprehensive connection sets providing direct compatibility with pumps from Pentair, Hayward, Sta-Rite, Astral, Wilo, and other major manufacturers, the EasyFit 29 3-Phase transforms what was once a complex commercial retrofit into a straightforward drop-in replacement. German engineering excellence meets practical installation simplicity.

💰 Usage Costs & Running Expenses

Three-phase motors offer inherent efficiency advantages, and the EasyFit 29 3-Phase capitalises on this with a lower power input (1.65 kW) compared to the single-phase model (1.70 kW) for identical output. Here’s a detailed breakdown of running costs for commercial applications.

📊 Annual Running Cost Calculation

Energy Rate Used: £0.2635 per kWh (UK Energy Price Cap, October-December 2025)

Power Input: 1.65 kW

Note: Commercial premises may pay different rates. Large users on half-hourly metering typically pay £0.20-£0.28 per kWh depending on contract terms.

---

🏢 Scenario 1: Commercial Pool – Standard Operation

• Daily Operation: 10 hours/day
• Operating Days: 365 days (year-round)
• Annual Running Hours: 10 × 365 = 3,650 hours

Calculation:

• Energy Consumption: 1.65 kW × 3,650 hours = 6,022.5 kWh/year
• ✅ Annual Running Cost: 6,022.5 × £0.2635 = £1,586.93

---

🏊 Scenario 2: Hotel/Leisure Centre – Extended Hours

• Daily Operation: 14 hours/day
• Operating Days: 365 days (year-round)
• Annual Running Hours: 14 × 365 = 5,110 hours

Calculation:

• Energy Consumption: 1.65 kW × 5,110 hours = 8,431.5 kWh/year
• ✅ Annual Running Cost: 8,431.5 × £0.2635 = £2,221.70

---

♨️ Scenario 3: Aquatic Centre – Maximum Operation

• Daily Operation: 16 hours/day
• Operating Days: 365 days (year-round)
• Annual Running Hours: 16 × 365 = 5,840 hours

Calculation:

• Energy Consumption: 1.65 kW × 5,840 hours = 9,636 kWh/year
• ✅ Annual Running Cost: 9,636 × £0.2635 = £2,539.09convergent

⚡ Three-Phase Efficiency Advantage

The 3-phase EasyFit 29 draws 1.65 kW versus 1.70 kW for the single-phase model – a 3% reduction in power consumption for identical output. Here’s what that means over time:

Operating Hours/Year	Single-Phase Cost	Three-Phase Cost	Annual Saving
3,650 hrs (commercial)	£1,635.89	£1,586.93	💵 £48.96
5,110 hrs (extended)	£2,290.18	£2,221.70	💵 £68.48
5,840 hrs (maximum)	£2,618.10	£2,539.09	💵 £79.01

📈 5-Year Saving (Extended Operation): £342.40 – purely from the three-phase efficiency advantage

📈 Cost Comparison vs. Older Commercial Pumps

Many older commercial pumps operate at 2.0-2.5 kW input for similar output. The efficiency gains are substantial:

Pump Type	Power Input	Annual kWh (5,110 hrs)	Annual Cost	Difference
✅ Speck EasyFit 29 3-Phase	1.65 kW	8,431.5 kWh	£2,221.70	—
