POOL PUMP AND MOTOR 0.45kw SPECK BADU® PORPOISE
Product Description:
Experience the efficiency and power of the SPECK BADU® Porpoise 0.45kW pump. Engineered specifically for smaller pools, this model pairs perfectly with SWIMQUIP OR FIBREGLASS 1-bag and AQUAMAX/AQUAFLO, EARTHCO, SPECK, or QUALITY 2-bag sand filters.
Optimized for pools up to 30,000 liters, the BADU Porpoise 0.45kW shines when used alongside a SWIMQUIP OR FIBREGLASS 1 bag or a AQUAMAX/AQUAFLO, EARTHCO, SPECK or QUALITY 2 bag sand filter. Versatility is a cornerstone of its design, allowing installation both above and below ground level. As with all pool pumps, installation on a flat, non-flood prone surface is essential. Engage a pool professional or certified electrician for the installation process.
The BADU Porpoise series from Speck Pumps is the result of meticulous engineering and design, leading to one of the most efficient pool pumps available today. With the capability of installation 3m above or below water level, its flexibility is evident.
Sizing is critical when selecting a pool pump. An oversized pump can not only compromise filtration but also potentially damage pool filters or heaters. Knowledge of the pool size and any additional equipment (like water features) informs the right pump selection. Enhanced pool features typically require more powerful pumps.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
We recommend that the pump is installed by a qualified pool professional or electrician.
A good installation of your pool pump will result in many years of trouble-free operation. Careful attention must be paid to the following:
1. Piping: The suction and discharge pipes must not be smaller in diameter than the pump connection i.e., Suction pipe diameter 50mm minimum (recommended 63mm), outlet pipe diameter 50mm minimum. Suitable unions should be used on the pump connections or placed in the lines adjacent to the pump connections in case the pump needs to be removed at any time. Do not support the pipework on the pump or vice versa. Make sure all pipe connections are completely water/airtight by using a suitable pipe jointing compound. Keep suction pipe as short as possible and only use pipes that are sufficiently rated to work at a minimum of 4 bar pressure. The suction line should enter the pump straight and horizontally for a length of at least 4 x the diameter of the pipe. The pump is a self-priming pump, which can be installed above or below water level, if you choose to go below, be sure to connect a control valve on your suction pipe between the pool weir/skimmer and the pump, which will prevent your pump being flooded when you open the lid to clean the pump leaf basket. Do not over tighten fittings into the inlet and outlet of the pump. Position pump on a flat level surface not exposed to flooding, as the pump motor is not waterproof.
2. Pump Positioning: (Important for motor cooling): We recommend that the pump be positioned at a level of no more than 300mm above your pool water level. Again, we stress the fact to keep the suction line as short as possible. A minimum clearance of 150mm must be allowed behind the motor fan cowling to the nearest obstruction to ensure proper air ventilation and easy access for servicing. The pump house/box must also have provision for adequate drainage facilities.
3. Ventilation: As the electric motor is fan cooled, sufficient ventilation must be allowed at all times during operation. Failure to do this will cause overheating resulting in premature bearing failure and/or motor burnout. If your pump house/box does not have ventilation holes the lid or door should be left open during operation of the pump.
4. Drainage: Flooding of the electric motor is the most common cause of motor failure. It is essential that adequate drainage be provided in the pump house/box. If the motor fails as a result of flooding, then there is no warranty whatsoever irrespective of how the water penetrated the motor. The pump must be protected from rain and flooding.
5. Electric Connections: These must be carried out by suitably qualified people only. Do not change the motor position as it is...
