BADU® Resort Self-Priming Pool Pump – Heavy-Duty Commercial & Hotel Range

The BADU® Resort range is a powerful series of self-priming circulation pumps designed for hotel pools, resort and public pools, pool attractions and massage baths. Traditionally, these applications were served only by large, heavy bronze or cast-iron pumps. The BADU Resort changes that by offering the same heavy-duty performance in a glass fibre reinforced plastic pump that is easier to handle, install and maintain.

With a large integrated strainer tank, corrosion-resistant construction and high hydraulic performance, the BADU Resort is ideal wherever reliable, continuous circulation and filtration are required.

Key Features

• Self-priming circulation pump – suitable for installation above the water level.
• High quality glass fibre reinforced plastic body for excellent corrosion resistance.
• Big strainer basket reduces blockages and extends cleaning intervals.
• Reliable, maintenance-free closed bellows-type mechanical seal.
• Total electric separation between pool water and motor for improved safety.
• New two-part easy screw on/off lid for quick access to the strainer basket.
• Temperature stability up to 60 °C.
• Designed as a plastic alternative to bronze/cast-iron pumps in demanding applications.
• 36-month ex-factory warranty under normal operating conditions.

Technical Specifications (General)

Performance Overview

The Resort pump curve demonstrates high flow rates across the range, with larger models capable of delivering strong circulation for very large pools and attractions. This makes the BADU Resort particularly suitable for continuous-duty circulation in hotel, resort and public pool environments.

Installation Notes

• Self-priming design allows for installation above the water level; follow manufacturer guidelines for maximum suction height.
• Install on a flat, solid base in a dry, well-ventilated plant room or equipment area.
• Use the recommended PVC pipe sizes for each model (see table above) to minimise friction losses.
• All electrical work must be carried out by a qualified electrician familiar with three-phase star/delta connections.
• Ensure adequate access around the pump for servicing and basket cleaning.
