💧 Speck BADU Resort 80 4.00kW 3-Phase Commercial Pool Pump

Professional-Grade German Engineering – High-Capacity Circulation for Demanding Commercial Environments

📋 Product Overview

The Speck BADU Resort 80 delivers exceptional commercial pool circulation with a powerful 4.00kW (5.5 HP) three-phase motor engineered for demanding aquatic installations. This German-manufactured pump provides flow rates up to 80 m³/h – performance traditionally requiring expensive, heavy bronze or cast-iron equipment – while offering significantly lower investment costs and simplified maintenance.

Constructed from advanced fibreglass-reinforced composite materials, the Resort 80 provides complete corrosion immunity, substantial weight reduction compared to metal alternatives, and the legendary reliability of German precision engineering. The innovative maintenance-free bellows mechanical seal ensures complete electrical separation between the motor shaft and pool water, exceeding commercial safety standards for public installations.

Configured specifically for 690/400V three-phase systems, this pump is ideally suited for medium-to-large commercial pools in the 350-400 cubic metre range, including hotels, wellness centres, health clubs, municipal facilities, and prestigious private estates requiring commercial-grade circulation capacity.

🎯 Real World Examples & Applications

🏨 Hotel & Resort Pools

The Resort 80 excels in hospitality environments with substantial pool volumes. The 80 m³/h flow capacity ensures rapid turnover rates for optimal water quality, while quiet operation (≤70 dB) maintains guest comfort. German engineering guarantees minimal service disruptions during peak seasons.

🏊‍♂ Municipal Swimming Pools

Public facilities benefit from TÜV-certified safety compliance and robust continuous-duty capability. The complete electrical separation exceeds requirements for public installations, while the oversized 3-litre strainer basket efficiently handles high bather loads with extended maintenance intervals.

🛁 Spa & Water Features

The substantial head capacity (up to 18m) makes the Resort 80 ideal for powering water features, fountains, waterfalls, and massage bath systems. The 60°C maximum water temperature rating enables integration with heated therapeutic installations.

💪 Health Clubs & Fitness Centres

Facilities with extended operating hours appreciate the continuous-duty design and thermal overload protection. The IP55-rated motor withstands demanding environments, while the maintenance-free seal minimises service requirements during busy periods.

🏠 Large Private Estates

Prestigious residential installations with commercial-scale pools benefit from the combination of professional performance and reduced complexity compared to industrial alternatives. The 34kg weight simplifies installation compared to 70-90kg bronze equivalents.
