BADU Delta Eco VS – Where premium meets professional workhorse
Choose options
If you have the largest pool (10 x 5m, 50 m³+). If you need the highest flow rate (30 m³/h instead of 14 m³/h). If you appreciate an LED-illuminated pre-filter (visual inspection even at night). If you want the very best – top-of-the-line from SPECK.
They have BADU Prime Eco VS (Made in Germany, 33 dB, perfect). The problem:
Problem #1: Limited flow rate for very large pools
BADU Prime: Max. 14 m³/h at 2,000 rpm. Your pool: 10 x 5m (50 m³) or larger → needs 25-30 m³/h (for 2x circulation in 8h) → BADU Prime is too weak (would have to run at full speed = loud + inefficient).
Problem #2: Visual inspection of the pre-filter in poor light
BADU Prime has a transparent pre-filter lid (good – you can see the fill level). But: the utility room is dark (no window) → you have to use a flashlight to see the fill level (inconvenient). At night: even more difficult.
Problem #3: No LED features
BADU Prime is functional (perfect for 95% of pools). However, if you value premium details (such as LED lighting, an even larger pre-filter, or a more robust construction), the Prime doesn't have these (it's "only" premium, not "luxury").
Problem #4: Flow rate for long pipelines
Your equipment room is far from the pool (20-30m of piping) → high pressure loss (long pipes = resistance) → BADU Prime achieves a maximum delivery head of 22m (just enough) → you want a reserve (more powerful pump for safety).
There is a solution. One that solves all four problems at once – the premium class of bacon.
The BADU Delta Eco VS – the professional inverter pump (one class above the BADU Prime). Special features: Max. 30 m³/h flow rate (instead of 14 m³/h – twice as powerful), LED-illuminated pre-filter lid (visual inspection even at night – battery-operated), 4-liter pre -filter (instead of 2-3 liters – less maintenance), even more robust construction (motor and pump shaft completely electrically separated – no contact with water-carrying parts).
What you will receive:
- Maximum flow rate of 30 m³/h – 2x stronger than Prime (for large pools 50-150 m³)
- LED-illuminated pre-filter lid – visual inspection even in darkness (battery operated, 2x CR2032)
- 4 liter pre-filter volume – larger than Prime (less frequent cleaning)
- Maximum delivery head 22m – same as Prime (but with higher flow rate)
- Motor completely electrically isolated – no contact with water (maximum service life)
- Speed 600-3,000 rpm – same as Prime (extremely quiet 35 dB at 600 rpm)
- Power consumption from 30W – same as Prime (highest efficiency)
- IPX5 protection rating – protected against water jets (like Prime IP55)
- Made in Germany – Bacon quality since 1909
- 15-20 year lifespan – top-class construction
The result: You pay €2,200-€2,800 (instead of €1,800 for Prime) = €400-€1,000 extra . What you get: 2x the flow rate (30 m³/h instead of 14 m³/h) + LED pre-filter + larger volume + even more robust construction. For large pools (50+ m³), Delta is essential (Prime would be too weak).
Saturday evening, 10:00 PM. The utility room is dark (no window). You want to check the pre-filter (is it full?). BADU Prime: Transparent lid (good), but dark → you need a flashlight → inconvenient. BADU Delta: LED light in the lid (battery-operated) → you press a button → the lid lights up → you can see the fill level immediately (without a flashlight). Attention to detail.
The 5 most important advantages at a glance:
- Max. 30 m³/h flow rate = 2x stronger than Prime : BADU Prime: Max. 14 m³/h (for pools up to 50 m³), BADU Delta: Max. 30 m³/h (for pools up to 150 m³), at 2,500 rpm: 25 m³/h (Prime: 10 m³/h), perfect for large pools (10 x 5m = 50 m³, 12 x 6m = 72 m³, etc.)
- LED-illuminated pre-filter = visual inspection even at night : Integrated LED in the transparent lid (battery operated, 2x CR2032), press button → lid lights up → you can see the fill level (even in the dark), no flashlight needed, detailed quality (only with Delta, not with Prime)
- 4-liter pre-filter volume = less maintenance : Prime: 2-3 liter pre-filter (cleaning every 3-5 days), Delta: 4-liter pre-filter (33% larger → cleaning every 5-7 days), saves 30% maintenance time, larger suction screen (2.2 x 2.2 mm)
- Motor completely electrically isolated = maximum service life : Motor and pump shaft have no contact with water-carrying parts (electrically isolated), no risk of water ingress into the motor (due to seal wear), 20+ year service life guaranteed (professional design)
- Maximum delivery head 22m at 30 m³/h = reserve for long pipes : Prime: 22m delivery head at 14 m³/h (delivery head decreases with higher flow rate), Delta: 22m delivery head at 30 m³/h (maintains pressure even at high flow rates), perfect for long pipelines (20-30m), large filters (high pressure loss)
Who is this top-of-the-line pump ideally suited for?
Reality check : The BADU Delta Eco VS is for people with large pools (50-150 m³) + professional installers + premium detail lovers who want the highest flow rate + LED features + maximum robustness – and are prepared to pay a top-class price for top-class quality.
✓ People with large pools (50-150 m³) – who need power
Your pool is 10 x 5m (50 m³) or larger (12 x 6m = 72 m³, 15 x 7m = 105 m³). You need a flow rate of 25-30 m³/h (for two circulations every 8 hours). BADU Prime: Max. 14 m³/h (too weak → would have to run at full speed constantly = loud + inefficient). BADU Delta: Max. 30 m³/h (perfect → runs comfortably at 2,500 rpm).
✓ People with long pipe runs (technical room far from the pool)
Your equipment room is 20-30m away from the pool (long PVC pipes) → high pressure loss (friction in pipes) → you need a powerful pump (high delivery head). BADU Prime: 22m delivery head (at 14 m³/h – just sufficient). BADU Delta: 22m delivery head at 30 m³/h (maintains pressure even at high flow rate → more reserve).
✓ People with large filters (high-layer filters, large cartridge filters)
You have a large filter (high-profile filter Ø 950mm, or Pentair CCP520 with 6 cartridges) → the filter requires a high flow rate (20-30 m³/h optimal). BADU Prime: Max. 14 m³/h (filter not optimally flushed). BADU Delta: 30 m³/h (filter operates within its optimal range).
✓ Premium detail lovers – people who appreciate LED features
They appreciate premium details (not just function, but also form). LED-illuminated pre-filter = quality detail (like a luxury car with ambient lighting). BADU Prime: No LED (functional, but not luxurious). BADU Delta: LED lighting (you press a button → lid lights up → premium feel).
✓ People with dark technical rooms (no window, no light)
Your utility room is dark (basement without windows, under the terrace). Check the pre-filter: With Prime, you need a flashlight (cumbersome). With Delta: LED lighting (press a button, it lights up, done) → more convenient .
✓ Professional installers/pool builders – installing the best technology
They professionally build premium pools (for high-net-worth clients, pools costing €100,000+). They prioritize using the best technology (no compromises). BADU Prime: Very good (perfect for 95% of pools). BADU Delta: The best (for the top 5% – large pools, highest demands). Delta is their flagship product (for premium clients).
✓ People who want "the best" – no matter the cost
You are a premium investor (budget is not your primary concern). You want: The very best (top-of-the-line, no compromises). BADU Prime: Premium (top 10% of all pumps). BADU Delta: Top-of-the-line (top 1% – SPECK's flagship). You want Delta (because it's the best).
Product description: When Prime is tuned to Delta level
The concept: Delta = Prime + professional features + higher performance
BADU Prime Eco VS = Premium pump (for pools up to 50 m³, 14 m³/h max., perfect for 95% of applications).
BADU Delta Eco VS = Top-class pump (for pools up to 150 m³, 30 m³/h max. , perfect for top 5% – large pools, highest demands).
Differences:
| feature | BADU Prime | BADU Delta |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum flow rate | 14 m³/h | 30 m³/h (2x stronger) |
| Pre-filter volume | 2-3 liters | 4 liters (33% larger) |
| LED lighting | No | Yes (in the lid) |
| Engine design | Permanent magnet | Electrically isolated (more robust) |
| Price | €1,800 | €2,200-€2,800 |
| Target audience | Pools up to 50 m³ | Pools 50-150 m³ |
Delta isn't "slightly better" than Prime. Delta is "a class above".
Maximum flow rate of 30 m³/h – twice as powerful as Prime
Performance comparison:
At 2,000 rpm:
- BADU Prime: approx. 8-10 m³/h
- BADU Delta: approx. 18 m³/h (almost double)
At 2,500 rpm:
- BADU Prime: approx. 10-12 m³/h
- BADU Delta: approx. 25 m³/h (2x)
At 3,000 rpm:
- BADU Prime: approx. 14 m³/h (max.)
- BADU Delta: approx. 30 m³/h (max., 2x stronger)
Why is this important?
Large pools require high flow rates:
Example: Pool 10 x 5m (50 m³).
Goal: 2x circulation per day (pool is completely filtered 2x).
Required: 50 m³ x 2 ÷ 8h runtime = 12.5 m³/h minimum flow rate.
BADU Prime at 2,500 rpm: 10-12 m³/h → just sufficient (running at limit → loud, inefficient).
BADU Delta at 2,000 rpm: 18 m³/h → more than enough (runs comfortably, quietly, efficiently).
Plus: For large pools (72 m³, 105 m³) Prime is too weak (doesn't provide enough flow) → Delta is mandatory .
LED-illuminated pre-filter lid – visual inspection even at night
BADU Prime: Transparent lid (you can see the fill level) – but: difficult to see in the dark (you need a flashlight).
BADU Delta: Integrated LED lighting (in the transparent lid).
How does that work?
2x CR2032 batteries (like watch batteries, replaceable) → Button on the lid → LED lights up (white, bright) → Pre-filter is illuminated → You can clearly see fill level/contamination (even in total darkness).
LED lights up for approximately 30 seconds → switches off automatically (saves battery).
Battery life: approx. 1-2 years (depending on frequency of use).
Advantage:
Windowless (dark) technical room → You check pre-filters at night → no fumbling with a flashlight → press button, lights up, see, done → more convenient .
Attention to detail (like a luxury car with ambient lighting) → Premium feeling .
4-liter pre-filter volume – 33% larger than Prime
BADU Prime: 2-3 liter pre-filter volume.
BADU Delta: 4 liter pre-filter volume (33% larger).
Why is this important?
Larger pre-filter = less frequent cleaning:
Prime (3 liters): Fills up after 3-5 days (leaves, insects, hair) → Clean every 3-5 days.
Delta (4 liters): Fills up after 5-7 days (33% slower) → Cleaning every 5-7 days → 30% less maintenance frequency .
Plus: Larger suction screen (2.2 x 2.2mm) → less clogging → better flow rate.
Motor completely electrically isolated – Maximum service life
Standard pumps (also Prime): Motor + pump shaft are mechanically connected → mechanical seal separates motor from water → when the seal wears out (after 10-15 years) → water can get to the motor → motor damage .
BADU Delta: Motor and pump shaft are completely electrically isolated → no mechanical connection → motor has no contact with water-carrying parts → even if the seal fails (after 20 years) → water does not reach the motor → no motor damage .
Advantage: 20+ year lifespan guaranteed (professional design – like industrial pumps).
Prime: 15-20 years (very good).
Delta: 20-25 years (even better – upper class).
Maximum delivery head 22m at 30 m³/h – reserve for long pipelines
Delivery head = maximum height to which the pump can pump water.
BADU Prime: 22m delivery head (at 14 m³/h flow rate).
BADU Delta: 22m delivery head (at 30 m³/h flow rate).
Difference: Delta maintains pressure even with double the flow rate → stronger pump.
Why is this important?
Long pipe runs (20-30m from the equipment room to the pool) → pressure loss (friction in pipes) → you need a reserve (pump must be strong enough to overcome pressure loss).
Prime at 14 m³/h: Achieves a delivery head of 22m → just enough (reserve is limited with long pipes).
Delta at 30 m³/h: Achieves a delivery head of 22m → plenty of reserve (runs comfortably even with long pipes + high pressure loss).
Extremely quiet 35 dB (at 600 rpm) – Like Prime
Noise level: BADU Delta = as quiet as Prime (35 dB at 600 rpm, 38 dB at 1,500 rpm).
Why? Delta uses the same technology as Prime (precision manufacturing, permanent magnet motor, acoustically optimized housing) → same smooth running .
Plus: Delta has an optimized fan wheel and fan shroud (special design for even quieter operation at high speed).
Speed 600-3,000 rpm – Same as Prime
Speed range: 600-3,000 rpm (infinitely variable).
Power consumption at 600 rpm: 30W (same as Prime).
Power consumption at 3,000 rpm: approx. 1.4 kW (same as Prime).
Difference to Prime: None (speed range + power consumption are identical).
Main difference: Flow rate (Delta achieves 30 m³/h at 3,000 rpm, Prime only 14 m³/h).

Frequently Asked Questions – Honest Answers
Q: Is BADU Delta (€2,500) worth it vs. BADU Prime (€1,800)?
A: If pool >50 m³: Yes (Delta is mandatory – Prime is too weak). If pool 30-50 m³: Optional (Prime is sufficient, Delta is a luxury). If pool <30 m³: No (Prime is perfect, Delta is oversized).
Q: Is Delta really twice as powerful as Prime?
A: Yes (measurable). Prime: Max. 14 m³/h. Delta: Max. 30 m³/h. At the same speed (e.g., 2,500 rpm): Prime 10-12 m³/h, Delta 25 m³/h → 2x flow rate .
Q: Do I need LED lighting (or is that just a gimmick)?
A: Functionally not necessary (you can also check pre-filters with a flashlight). But: LED is more convenient (press button, lights up, done) + premium detail (like ambient lighting in a car). If you appreciate premium details: Brilliant feature. If you only want functionality: Prime is sufficient.
Q: Will Delta last longer than Prime?
A: Yes (somewhat). Prime: 15-20 years. Delta: 20-25 years (motor completely electrically isolated = more robust). Difference: 5 years longer → but both last a very long time (top quality).
Q: Is Delta quieter than Prime?
A: No (equally quiet). Both: 35 dB at 600 rpm, 38 dB at 1,500 rpm. No difference in volume.
Q: What pool size is Delta ideal for?
A: Pools 50-150 m³. Examples: 10 x 5m (50 m³), 12 x 6m (72 m³), 15 x 7m (105 m³), 20 x 10m (150 m³, luxury pool).
Q: Can I also use Delta for a small pool (32 m³)?
A: Yes (it works), but: Delta is oversized (you only need 10 m³/h → Delta can handle 30 m³/h → 20 m³/h unused). Prime is better for small pools (perfect sizing + €700 cheaper).
