BADU® ECO M3 greatly reduces the operating costs on pools from 10,000 to 25,000 gallons. The pump offers three speeds: high, medium, and low. Now you can use the most cost efficient speed for the job at hand.
Energy usage is greatly reduced by this pump’s ability to clean your entire pool on low speed at a maximum power consumption of 160 Watts per hour. At high speed, the maximum power consumption is 1200 Watts per hour. High speed pumps can turn over your water faster, but at a tremendous energy cost due to the added friction in your system. At lower speed, your pump pushes less water through your system, creating less restriction and more efficiency.
| To compare the energy usage from the pump on high speed versus low speed, take an average 20,000 gallon pool with 2" PVC pipe for example. |

Use the Medium and High Speed Functions when you need a boost to your system. The high speed setting provides the power needed for backwashing and for running automatic cleaners. The medium speed setting is sufficient to give the extra boost needed for suction cleaners that work through your skimmer and for circulating the water faster during heavy bather loads.
After 2 hours at high or medium speed, the BADU® ECO M3 automatically defaults to the lowest speed, saving energy and money. You don’t have to worry about forgetting to change the speed back after boosting the power.
