💧 Speck BADU Resort 40 2.20kW 3-Phase Commercial Pool Pump

The Perfect Mid-Range Powerhouse for Medium Commercial Pool & Wellness Applications 🏆

📋 Product Overview

The Speck BADU Resort 40 occupies the sweet spot in commercial pool circulation — delivering robust 40 m³/h flow capacity with exceptional energy efficiency from its 2.20kW motor. This German-engineered pump bridges the gap between smaller residential systems and large-scale commercial installations, making it the ideal choice for boutique hotels, wellness centres, health clubs, and premium residential complexes with pools up to 300 m³.

Engineered using advanced fibreglass-reinforced plastic construction, the Resort 40 achieves what traditional bronze and cast-iron pumps cannot — superior corrosion resistance at a fraction of the weight. At just 26kg, installation and servicing become significantly easier while the pump delivers the reliability demanded by 24/7 commercial operations.

The self-priming design allows flexible installation up to 3 metres above water level, while the maintenance-free bellows-type mechanical seal ensures complete electrical isolation between motor shaft and pool water. With TÜV Rheinland safety certification (GS Mark) and IP55 motor protection, the Resort 40 meets the stringent requirements of commercial pool environments.
