💧 Speck BADU Resort 60 – 2.60kW Three-Phase Commercial Pool Pump

German-Engineered Power for Medium-to-Large Commercial Pools – Delivering 60m³/h Flow with Glass-Fibre Construction & Self-Priming Capability

📋 Product Overview

The Speck BADU Resort 60 represents a breakthrough in commercial pool pump technology – a German-engineered self-priming powerhouse that finally brings the performance of traditional bronze and cast iron pumps into a lightweight, corrosion-resistant package at a fraction of the weight and cost.

Designed specifically for medium-to-large commercial pools between 200-300m³, this TÜV Rheinland certified pump delivers an impressive 60m³/h flow rate while consuming just 2.60kW of power. The innovative glass-fibre reinforced plastic construction eliminates corrosion concerns entirely, making it ideal for saltwater pools, wellness centres, and demanding commercial environments where reliability is non-negotiable.

Whether you’re upgrading aging bronze pumps at a hotel pool, specifying equipment for a new wellness facility, or replacing worn-out commercial units, the Resort 60 combines industrial-grade performance with modern material technology that dramatically reduces both initial investment and long-term maintenance costs.

⭐ Key Features

✅ High-Performance Flow Rate – Delivers up to 60m³/h, providing efficient water turnover for pools between 200-300m³ in volume

💰 Usage Costs & Running Expenses

Understanding the true cost of operating a commercial pool pump is essential for budgeting and ROI calculations. Below are realistic running cost scenarios based on current UK energy prices.

📊 Annual Running Cost Calculation

Base Parameters:

• Power Input (P1): 3.30 kW
• UK Commercial Electricity Rate: £0.26 per kWh (November 2025 average)

🏢 Scenario 1: Hotel/Leisure Centre – Year-Round Operation

Usage Profile: 10 hours daily, 365 days per year

Calculation	Value
Daily consumption	3.30 kW × 10 hours = 33 kWh
Annual consumption	33 kWh × 365 days = 12,045 kWh
✅ Annual running cost	12,045 × £0.26 = £3,131.70

💡 Cost per day: £8.58

🏊‍♂️ Scenario 2: Seasonal Commercial Pool – 8 Month Operation

Usage Profile: 8 hours daily, 240 days per year (April–November)

Calculation	Value
Daily consumption	3.30 kW × 8 hours = 26.4 kWh
Annual consumption	26.4 kWh × 240 days = 6,336 kWh
✅ Annual running cost	6,336 × £0.26 = £1,647.36

💡 Cost per month (in season): £205.92

♨️ Scenario 3: Wellness Spa – Extended 12-Hour Operation

Usage Profile: 12 hours daily, 365 days per year

Calculation	Value
Daily consumption	3.30 kW × 12 hours = 39.6 kWh
Annual consumption	39.6 kWh × 365 days = 14,454 kWh
✅ Annual running cost	14,454 × £0.26 = £3,758.04

💡 Cost per day: £10.30

📈 Comparison: Resort 60 vs Traditional Bronze Pump

Traditional bronze commercial pumps of equivalent output typically consume 4.5–5.0 kW due to less efficient motor technology and heavier rotating assemblies.

Pump Type	Power Draw	Annual Cost (10hrs × 365 days)	Difference
❌ Traditional Bronze (4.5 kW)	4.5 kW	£4,270.50	—
✅ Speck Resort 60	3.30 kW	£3,131.70	💰 Save £1,138.80/year

5-Year Savings: 💷 £5,694.00

Calculations based on UK commercial electricity rate of £0.26/kWh (November 2025). Actual costs may vary by region and contract.
