Speck Resort 110 Impeller – 145mm Diameter, 15mm Blade Width
The Heart of Commercial Pool Circulation
As a retailer of hot tub spare parts, I recognise that the impeller represents the absolute core of any centrifugal pump system. This genuine Speck Resort 110 impeller is the rotating component that transfers energy from the motor to the fluid, converting mechanical energy into kinetic energy to generate the powerful flow rates demanded by commercial pool applications. With its precisely engineered 145mm diameter and optimised 15mm blade width, this impeller delivers the exceptional performance that makes the Resort 110 series the preferred choice for commercial aquatic facilities.
Advanced Centrifugal Engineering
The impeller is the rotating component within the centrifugal pump design, which transfers the energy from the pump’s motor to the fluid. It is made up of vanes that come off an open inlet at the centre, known as the eye, which create a centrifugal force as they spin to move the liquid from the casing to the discharge point. This sophisticated engineering transforms the Resort 110 into a high-performance commercial circulation system.

Performance Engineering Principles
Energy Conversion Mechanism
The impeller works by rotating rapidly within a volute casing to create pressure and flow within the liquid being pumped. It achieves this by using its shape and speed to convert kinetic energy into potential energy as it forces water through the pump system. The 145mm diameter specification ensures maximum circumferential velocity for optimal energy transfer.
Blade Width Optimisation
The 15mm blade width represents a careful balance between flow capacity and hydraulic efficiency. This dimension directly affects the pump’s ability to handle high flow rates while maintaining optimal pressure characteristics. The blade width influences both the pump head and efficiency characteristics, making this specification critical for commercial applications.
Closed Impeller Design Benefits
Maximum Efficiency
This closed impeller design features shrouds on both sides of the vanes, providing maximum mechanical strength and hydraulic efficiency. The enclosed design creates optimal flow paths and minimises internal recirculation losses, ensuring the pump achieves its design performance specifications.
Superior Head Characteristics
Closed impellers provide higher pressure capabilities and steeper head curves compared to open designs. This makes them ideal for commercial pool systems where consistent pressure must be maintained across varying flow conditions, including filtration, heating, and water feature operations.
Enhanced NPSH Performance
The closed design reduces the Net Positive Suction Head Required (NPSH), allowing for more flexible installation configurations in commercial facilities where suction conditions may vary.
Commercial Application Benefits
High Flow Capacity
The 145mm diameter generates substantial circumferential velocity at the 2850 RPM operating speed, enabling the Resort 110 to achieve its maximum flow rate of 110 m³/h. This high flow capacity supports large commercial pools and multiple simultaneous operations.
Pressure Generation
The optimised blade geometry and diameter work together to generate the high pressures required for commercial pool systems, including overcoming filter resistance, heating system pressure drops, and elevation changes to water features.
Operational Reliability
The robust construction and precision engineering ensure consistent performance under the demanding conditions typical of commercial pool operations, including continuous operation and varying load conditions.
Material Engineering
Chemical Resistance
The high-grade engineered thermoplastic construction provides excellent resistance to pool chemicals, including chlorine, bromine, and pH adjustment chemicals. This material selection ensures long-term performance in commercial pool environments.
Dimensional Stability
The material maintains precise dimensional tolerances under varying temperature conditions, ensuring consistent hydraulic performance and proper clearances with the pump casing throughout the operating range.
Wear Resistance
The advanced polymer formulation resists wear from sand, debris, and the abrasive conditions common in commercial pool applications, extending service life and maintaining efficiency.
Hydraulic Design Features
Backward-Curved Vanes
The backward-curved blade configuration provides optimal efficiency characteristics and stable operation across the pump’s flow range. This design minimises turbulence and reduces noise levels, important considerations for commercial facilities.
Optimised Eye Design
The precision-engineered eye (inlet) design ensures smooth flow entry with minimal losses, reducing the risk of cavitation and maximising suction performance.
Balanced Flow Distribution
The vane configuration ensures even flow distribution around the impeller circumference, reducing vibration and mechanical stress while maximising hydraulic performance.
Installation and Maintenance
Precision Mounting
The impeller features a precision-machined hub designed for secure mounting on the pump shaft. Proper installation ensures correct hydraulic alignment and prevents vibration issues.
Dynamic Balancing
Each impeller is precision-balanced to minimise vibration at operating speeds, ensuring smooth operation and extended bearing life in commercial applications.
Maintenance Considerations
Regular inspection for wear, damage, or debris accumulation is essential for maintaining optimal performance. The closed design protects internal surfaces while allowing for thorough cleaning when necessary.
Performance Impact
Flow Rate Optimisation
The 145mm diameter is specifically engineered to achieve the Resort 110’s maximum flow capacity while maintaining efficiency across the operating range. Larger impeller diameters generate higher flow rates and pressures but require more power.
Energy Efficiency
The optimised blade width and geometry ensure maximum energy transfer from the motor to the fluid, minimising power consumption while achieving design performance levels.
System Integration
This impeller is specifically designed to work in harmony with the Resort 110’s diffuser, casing, and mechanical seal assembly, ensuring optimal hydraulic matching and performance.
Commercial Facility Benefits
Reduced Operating Costs
The high-efficiency design minimises energy consumption in commercial facilities where pumps operate continuously, resulting in significant operational savings.
Maintenance Scheduling
The robust construction and materials allow for predictable maintenance intervals, important for commercial facility planning and budget management.
Performance Reliability
Consistent hydraulic performance ensures commercial pools maintain proper turnover rates and water quality standards required by health regulations.
