Speck Impeller for SuperPro 14 / Top 14 / Top S14 / EasyFit 15
Medium-Capacity Performance for Growing Pool Applications
As a retailer of hot tub spare parts, I recognize that as pools increase in size, the demand for reliable, efficient circulation components becomes even more critical. This genuine Speck impeller represents the next step up in the BADU lineup, specifically engineered for medium-sized residential pools and larger spa installations. The impeller creates the suction and the pump action for your pool pump. What the impeller does is it turns the pumps spinning motion into a vortex that sucks the pool water towards the suction pipe of the pool and expels it through the filter and out back into the pool.
Enhanced Performance for Medium Applications
Proven German Engineering Excellence
With Speck’s 80 years of expertise in pump manufacturing, this impeller continues the legendary tradition of reliability and efficiency that has made BADU pumps the industry benchmark. For over 35 years our reliable pool pumps are proudly assembled in the United States. They are carefully inspected and thoroughly tested before leaving our manufacturing facility, providing you with the quality and reliability you expect and deserve.

Advanced Engineering Design
Enhanced Hydraulic Performance
The 14-15 designation reflects the optimized flow characteristics specifically engineered for medium-capacity applications. These impellers deliver superior hydraulic efficiency through carefully calculated blade geometry, ensuring optimal water circulation while minimizing energy consumption.
Professional-Grade Construction
All four pump models feature robust construction designed for demanding residential and light commercial applications. The enhanced capacity requires superior materials and manufacturing precision to maintain the reliability standards expected from German-engineered equipment.
Advanced Sealing Technology
The bellow-type mechanical seal is mounted on a plastic shaft protector sleeve. Motor/pump shaft has no contact with the pool water, providing complete electrical separation. This innovative sealing technology becomes even more critical in larger applications where higher flow rates and pressures demand superior protection.
Material Excellence & Durability
Salt Water Optimization
The pumps, as described, can be used for swimming pool water with a salt concentration of up to 0.5%, i.e. 5 g/l. For higher salt concentrations please contact the company SPECK Pumpen. This enhanced salt water tolerance makes these pumps ideal for modern chlorine generation systems while maintaining structural integrity in challenging chemical environments.
Commercial-Grade Materials
Manufactured from premium-grade polymers specifically selected for their performance in demanding aquatic environments. The materials resist degradation from chlorine, bromine, ozone, and other aggressive sanitizers while maintaining dimensional stability across wide temperature ranges.
Precision Manufacturing Standards
