The German-engineered BADU Eco Drive VS pairs an efficient permanent-magnet (DC) motor with variable-speed smart controls to reduce energy use while keeping your water crystal clear. With a 4-Star energy rating and lower running costs and CO₂ compared with conventional induction pumps, many pool owners see payback in under two years (actual savings depend on usage and tariffs).
Why Choose the BADU Eco Drive VS?
With 6-Star efficiency and true variable-speed control, Eco Drive VS keeps water sparkling at everyday speeds. The permanent-magnet motor runs smoothly and quietly for calm, low-vibration filtration day and night.
It’s ready for salt pools up to 5,000 ppm and built with corrosion-resistant materials and a double-sealed motor for long service life. Coverage includes a 5-year wet-end warranty* and 2-year motor warranty. Every unit is factory wet-tested – German design and engineering from end to end.
Key Features:
- Permanent-magnet motor with axial rotor (DC), optimised for pool & spa filtration systems
- Efficient variable-speed operation – the slower the speed, the lower the energy use
- User-friendly control panel with selectable presets (Low / Medium / High)
- Optional separate interface for touch-free external control
- Engineered for quiet running
- Stainless steel shaft & 100% recyclable plastics for corrosion and salt-water resistance
- Double-sealed motor for complete separation between pool water and pump shaft
- Every pump is factory wet-tested for quality assurance
