Pool Pump Installation – Speck ECO VSD Pro 23 (1.5kW)

Product Description

The BADU Eco VSD Pro 23 1.5kW Pool Pump Installation is a professional supply and installation service for larger residential pool filtration systems. It is suited to South African homeowners and pool contractors who need a strong variable speed pool pump installed correctly, especially where the pool system requires a pump that can work with 4 to 5 bag or 7 bag filtration systems.

This service includes the BADU Eco VSD Pro 23 1.5kW pool pump and motor, removal of the old pool pump, standard installation labour, travel within the Gauteng service area, up to 1 metre of 50mm PVC pipework, fittings, 2 unions and electrical connection up to 1 metre from the pump to the existing DB point, where the current setup is safe and suitable.

The BADU Eco VSD Pro 23 is a premium variable speed pool pump from SPECK. It is different from a normal single speed pump because it gives the user more control over running speed. The pump has default speed settings of 2830 RPM on High, 2430 RPM on Medium, and 2000 RPM on Low. These settings can also be adjusted above or below the default levels, which helps the installer or pool owner match the pump speed to the filtration setup.

This pump is built for pool owners who want strong circulation without having to run the pump at full speed all day. When used correctly, the variable speed control can help reduce electricity use during normal daily filtration. It also includes automatic and manual operation, a priming time function, corrosion resistant construction, a 2 part screw on and off lid, simple speed controls and a dedicated pump on and off button.

The pump is made from 100% recyclable plastics and is designed for stable operation in temperatures up to 60°C. It is a good option for larger South African pool systems where reliable filtration, strong water movement and speed control are important. Final suitability depends on the current plumbing, filter size, electrical supply and overall pool setup.
