BADU Solar Eco Wise Combi 4 – Sustainable Pool Filtration System

Brand Chemical Supplies is proud to offer the BADU Solar Eco Wise Combi 4, a premium, all-in-one filtration solution designed for the energy-conscious South African homeowner. This “Combi” unit integrates the world-renowned BADU pump technology with a high-efficiency sand filter, specifically optimized to run on solar power or variable speed settings. It is the ideal choice for small to medium-sized residential pools (up to 45,000 liters) looking to reduce electricity costs without compromising on water clarity.

Technical Specifications

• Pump Model: BADU Eco Wise (Solar Compatible).

• Filter Model: Eco Wise 4-bag capacity (approx. 160 kg of filter media).

• Flow Rate: 10 – 12 m^3/h (at optimal solar peak).

• Voltage: DC/AC Hybrid options available (Seamless integration with solar arrays).

• Filter Media: Compatible with silica sand or glass media.

• Valve: Top-mount 6-way multi-port valve for easy operation.

• Base: Includes a heavy-duty, weather-resistant mounting plinth.

Key Features & Benefits

• Energy Independence: Designed to interface directly with solar PV panels, allowing your pool to filter during daylight hours using “free” energy from the sun.

• Whisper-Quiet Operation: The Eco Wise pump is engineered for extremely low noise levels, making it perfect for residential areas where the pool equipment is located near living spaces.

• Pre-Plumbed Efficiency: The Combi 4 arrives pre-assembled and pressure-tested on its own base, significantly reducing installation time and eliminating the risk of on-site plumbing errors.

• Eco-Friendly Filtration: Optimized hydraulics allow for effective filtration at lower flow rates, which extends the life of your filter media and reduces the frequency of backwashing.

• Durable & Corrosion-Free: Constructed from high-quality, UV-resistant plastics and stainless steel components to withstand the harsh South African climate.

Primary Applications

• Residential Pools: Sustainable filtration for backyard pools and spas.

• Off-Grid Living: The perfect solution for homes or lodges relying on solar power and battery storage.

• Energy Retrofits: An excellent upgrade for existing pools looking to move away from high-consumption, traditional AC pumps.

Installation & Solar Integration

• Solar Array: Typically requires 2 to 4 high-wattage solar panels depending on the specific pump controller and sunlight availability in your region.

• Location: Install in a well-ventilated area. While the unit is weather-resistant, a dedicated pump cover is recommended to maximize the lifespan of the electronics.

• Maintenance: Regularly check the pump’s leaf basket and the filter’s pressure gauge. Backwash the system when the pressure increases by 50 kPa above the clean starting pressure.
