Speck BADU Solar Smart — 750W Solar Powered VSD Pool Pump

The Speck BADU Solar Smart is a dual-power pool pump that runs directly from solar panels or from the grid — or both simultaneously. The built-in variable speed drive (VSD) and MPPT controller draw maximum power from your solar panels. When solar power is insufficient, the pump seamlessly tops up from the grid. No inverter or battery needed — the solar panels connect directly to the pump’s controller.

Key Features
