Speck Impeller SuperPro 8 / Top & Top S 8 / EasyFit 9
Introduction
As a retailer of hot tub spare parts, I’m pleased to offer this compact yet powerful Speck impeller designed for small to medium-capacity circulation applications. This precision-engineered component is specifically manufactured for Speck’s most versatile and popular smaller pump series, including the SuperPro 8, Top & Top S 8, and EasyFit 9 models. Perfect for above-ground pools, partially embedded pools, smaller swimming ponds, and hot tub applications where efficient, reliable circulation is essential.
Product Overview
This efficient impeller serves small to medium-capacity applications, specifically designed for pools ranging from 30-60 cubic meters (approximately 8,000-16,000 gallons). This sizing represents the perfect sweet spot for above-ground pools, smaller in-ground pools, hot tubs, and spa applications where space and energy efficiency are paramount. The compact design delivers exceptional performance while maintaining the legendary Speck reliability that has made BADU pumps the industry benchmark for over 80 years.
German Engineering Excellence
Advanced Material Technology
Manufactured to exacting German engineering standards, this impeller incorporates 80 years of hydraulic design expertise and state-of-the-art material technology. The result is a component that combines innovative design and engineering to produce a cost-effective, reliable solution for smaller aquatic applications.
Superior Construction
The impeller features excellent resistance against corrosion of pool water and is constructed from high-quality, temperature-resistant materials. Can withstand temperatures up to 60°C, making it suitable for heated pools, spas, and hot tub applications where elevated temperatures are common.
Multi-Series Compatibility
SuperPro 8 Applications
The SuperPro 8 designation reflects optimized flow characteristics specifically engineered for compact, high-efficiency applications. BADU SuperPro pumps are made of PP polypropylene and therefore have excellent resistance against corrosion of the pool water, ensuring long-lasting performance in demanding environments.
Top & Top S 8 Performance
The BADU Top S series combines state-of-the-art material technology with innovative design and engineering. This pump is especially designed for medium-size, above ground pools, partially embedded pools and smaller swimming ponds. A Badu Top S 8 pump, for example, rated at 0.4hp, moves 9.1m3/hr and uses 0.3kW of power. This is 15% more flow using 20% less power than other major brand pumps rated at 0.5hp, so you can filter your pool more quietly, quickly and cheaply.
EasyFit 9 Universal Compatibility
The EasyFit 9 represents the smaller end of the universal replacement series. The EasyFit pump is a versatile high performance pool pump that saves time and money and is a direct replacement for commonly-used pumps. The often time-consuming task of installing a new circulation pump into an existing filter unit is a thing of the past with the EasyFit’s universal compatibility features.
Performance Characteristics
Exceptional Flow Efficiency
Despite its compact size, this impeller delivers impressive hydraulic performance. The Top S 8 configuration typically achieves flow rates of 9.1 m³/hr while consuming only 0.3kW of power, demonstrating the exceptional efficiency that Speck engineering delivers even in smaller applications.
Energy Efficiency Leadership
This impeller maintains Speck’s reputation for energy efficiency, delivering 15% more flow using 20% less power than comparable pumps from other manufacturers. The advanced hydraulic design minimizes energy consumption while maximizing water circulation effectiveness.
Quiet Operation
Low noise operation is a hallmark of the BADU Top S pumps, making this impeller ideal for residential applications where noise reduction is important. The precision-balanced design ensures smooth, quiet operation even during continuous use.
Technical Excellence and Innovation
Advanced Hydraulic Design
The impeller’s curved blade geometry creates optimal centrifugal force for efficient water movement. The carefully calculated blade angles and spacing ensure maximum hydraulic efficiency while minimizing turbulence and energy waste.
Self-Priming Capability
Compatible with self-priming pump designs that can be installed maximum 3m above or 3m below the water surface, providing installation flexibility for various applications and site conditions.
Temperature and Chemical Resistance
High temperature resistant, up to 60°C, making it suitable for heated pools and spa applications. The advanced material composition provides exceptional resistance to UV degradation and chemical exposure, including saltwater applications up to 0.5% salt concentration.
Installation and Maintenance Features
User-Friendly Design
The impeller is designed for easy operation and maintenance, compatible with pumps featuring full-view clear lids for easy inspection and service access. The robust construction ensures reliable long-term performance with minimal maintenance requirements.
Electrical Safety
For pool users’ safety, the impeller has a dielectric shaft sleeve that provides absolute separation between the pool water and electric parts. This safety feature ensures complete electrical separation and protection.
Professional Quality Assurance
Every pump is 100% performance tested before leaving the Speck factory, ensuring consistent quality and performance standards. This comprehensive testing extends to individual components like impellers, guaranteeing reliable performance from installation.
Application Versatility
Above-Ground Pools
Perfect for above-ground pool applications where compact size, efficiency, and reliable performance are essential. The impeller’s design optimizes circulation for these specific pool configurations.
Small In-Ground Pools
Ideal for smaller in-ground pool installations where full-size pumps would be oversized and inefficient. Provides optimal circulation without unnecessary energy consumption.
Hot Tubs and Spas
Excellent choice for hot tub and spa applications where temperature resistance, compact size, and quiet operation are crucial. The high-temperature capability makes it particularly suitable for heated water applications.
Swimming Ponds and Water Features
Thanks to the large pumping capacity relative to size, this impeller can even support automatic pool cleaners and water features while maintaining efficient primary circulation.
Environmental Responsibility
Constructed from 100% recyclable environment-friendly plastic material that supports environmental responsibility without compromising performance. The enhanced efficiency reduces energy consumption, contributing to lower carbon footprint and operational costs.
