General Safety Instructions
The following guidelines provide information to minimize the risk of injury to users of
pools, spas, and hot tubs.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ENTRAPMENT HAZARD
Pool and spa pumps produce high levels of suction, which can pose extreme danger if a person comes in close
proximity to an open pool or spa drain or if a drain cover is loose, cracked, broken or missing. Pool and spa pumps
move large volumes of water, which can pose extreme danger if a person’s hair comes in close proximity to a
drain that is not the proper size for the pump or pumps.
If not an approved single, unblockable outlet, a minimum of two functioning suction outlets per pump must be
installed. Suction outlets in the same plane (i.e. floor or wall) must be installed a minimum of three (3) feet (1
meter) apart, as measured from center point to center point. Dual suction fittings shall not be located on seating
areas or on the backrest for such seating areas. If any suction outlets are located closer they shall be located on
two dierent planes (i.e. one on the bottom and one on the vertical wall, or one each on two separate vertical
walls).
WARNING: Failure to keep suction outlet components clear of debris, such as leaves, dirt, hair, paper and other
material can result in an increased potential for suction entrapment.
If not a single, unblockable outlet, in the event of one suction outlet being completely blocked, the remaining
suction outlets serving the system shall have a flow rating capable of the full flow of the pump(s) or the specific
suction system. If in doubt about the rating and/or head loss curve of your system, consult a qualified pool or
spa professional and/or your respective equipment manufacturer(s). Also, double check with your local building/
health authorities regarding single vs. multiple drain installations, etc.
Regularly inspect all drain covers for cracks, damage and advanced weathering. If a drain cover becomes loose,
cracked, damaged, broken or is missing, close the pool or spa immediately, post a notice and keep the pool or spa
closed until an appropriate VGB 2008 certified drain cover is properly installed.
WATER VELOCITY AND FLOW RATES
The maximum water velocity through drain covers is limited by some local regulations, for example some state
health departments limit the velocity through public pool drain covers to 1.5 feet per second. This velocity limit
is lower than the flow rating provided by the ANSI/APSP 16 certification; therefore local limit applies and must
be followed. Never exceed the flow rating listed on the cover even if local code does not provide a velocity limit.
For additional information on proper installation refer to The Association of Pool & Spa Professionals ANSI/APSP-
7 Standard and the US Consumer Product Safety Commission Guidelines for Entrapment Hazard.

2 General Description
Receiving Information
The Badu SwimJet Systems from Speck Pumps are designed to be installed during the construction of your pool to create a
water treadmill for anyone wanting a therapeutic and eective exercise.
The Badu SwimJet Systems can be installed in any type of pool, large or small, from gunite to vinyl liner. It has no protruding
parts ensuring pool user’s safety, is very compact and installs at minimal cost. The self-contained, flush-mounted unit is a
jet-propulsion system that pumps water into the pool creating a current in excess of 5,700 gallons per minute from a single
recessed jet housing.
Topping o the experience is the pulsating massage hose which can be attached to the jet nozzles for easy and convenient
massage treatments for joints and muscles. (NOTE: The massage hose is sold separately.)

Plumbing Installation
CAUTION: The discharge connection is at the center of the back of the jet housing. The suction connection is at the bottom
of the jet housing.
CAUTION: The suction line should remain below water level from the suction connection at the jet housing to a point directly
beneath the pump.
CAUTION: The center of the BaduStream jet nozzle(s) must be located 12” BELOW the water line for maximum performance
and eciency. The air regulator(s) should be located 3-4” ABOVE the water line.
CAUTION: In areas with soft soil conditions or with frequent earth movement, a flexible section of 4” hose should be
installed at the back of the jet housing to prevent plumbing or jet housing damage.
CAUTION: For trouble-free pump priming (up to 4 feet above the water line), first install a 6” long riser in the discharge
connection on top of the pump(s). Then install an elbow and lead the discharge line(s) downward to the discharge connection(s)
at the BaduStream jet housing(s) (Not required with 3.5 HP pump Model 72). On systems with 3 jet housings and 2 pumps,
check valves MUST be installed at the discharge connections at each pump.
CAUTION: Allow at least 12 hours curing and bonding time. Insucient curing and bonding times can result in leaks and
flooding.
CAUTION: Throughout the entire installation, make sure the plumbing connected to the BaduStream jet housing is well
supported. Unsupported plumbing WILL crack the jet housing.
CAUTION: DO NOT use the pump as a fixed point (support) for the plumbing.
CAUTION: When using 6” pipe, install 6” x 4” reducer bushings as close to the jet housing(s) as possible. For systems with 2
or 3 jet housings, install the 6” x 4” reducer bushings as close to the 4” manifold tees as possible. The 6” suction line should
be run from the jet housing(s) and remain under the water line to a point directly beneath the pump. Install a 6” elbow at
that point. Then run 4” pipe vertically up to the suction connection of the pump and finish with a 4” elbow.
For optimal performance, use 4” plumbing when the total distance between the pump and jet housing is 30 ft or less.
The plumbing should be as direct and free from turns or bends as possible because elbows and other fittings can
create large friction losses and reduce the performance of the system. The shortest length of pipe with the
minimum number of fittings possible should be used to avoid any significant friction loss due to the pipe and
fittings. NOTE: Refer to Figure 2 for the BaduStream head loss curve.
A maximum of seven (7) 90oelbows may be used with 30 ft of horizontal 4” pipe for the suction line and 30 ft of
horizontal pipe for the discharge line without negatively aecting the performance of the system.
NOTE: This applies to each individual pump used on the system. Refer to Figure 4 for the maximum TDH allowed to
achieve recommended flow rates.
If more elbows are required for the installation, 4” sweeps must be used in place of the elbows. When using sweeps
instead of elbows, a maximum of nine (9) 4” sweeps may be used with 30 ft of horizontal 4” pipe for the suction line
and 30 ft of horizontal 4” pipe for the discharge line without negatively aecting the performance of the system. NOTE:
This applies to each individual pump used on the system. Refer to Figure 4 for the maximum TDH allowed to achieve
recommended flow rates.
If the pump(s) cannot be located within 30 ft of the jet housing(s) using the maximum number of 4” elbows or sweeps
stated above, then 6” plumbing must be used. For the suction line, use 6” plumbing and fittings from the connection
at the jet housing (or at the manifolds for two and three jet systems) to a point directly beneath the pump. From that
point, install a 6” elbow. Then run 4” pipe vertically up to the suction connection of the pump and finish with a 4” elbow.
For the discharge line, 6” plumbing should be installed from the discharge connection of the pump all the way to the
pressure connection of the jet housing (or manifolds for two and three jet systems).
For two and three jet systems, the jet housings must be installed as close to 10” center to center as possible for
maximum performance. DO NOT install the jet housing more than 12” apart on center. (See Figure 1 & 1A)

Higher resistance which results in less ecient priming and a higher risk of cavitation.
Longer priming time (up to 12 min).
Keep the suction and pressure lines as short and straight as possible.
If the pump is positioned further away, then the pipe dimensioning has to be adapted so that almost loss-free flowing
is ensured.

* 6” pipe will allow distances of well over 50 ft. However,
control box location needs to be within 50 ft. of the ON/
OFF air button in order to function properly.
Figure 4 NOTE: Valves are recommended when pump is installed below water level
(flooded suction applications).
NOTE: To avoid stress on the jet housing, the jet housing and 2 to 3 inches of
plumbing stub out may be encased in gunite or concrete.
NOTE: The BaduSteam assembly package contains all necessary parts for the installation of the unit into concrete, gunite,
liner or fiberglass pools.
CAUTION: All necessary screws and bolts included with the BaduStream are stainless steel. ALL screw threads and
threaded inserts are METRIC! ONLY METRIC bolts and nuts may be used! The two exceptions are the suction and discharge
connections on the BaduStream and pump housing (4” slip connections) and the mounting hardware for the air regulator
assembly (1/4 -20 threads). All screws should be HAND TIGHT. DO NOT use drills or pneumatic tools. DO NOT over tighten!

Make sure that the air regulator hose nipple (part #14) is
at the top and center of each jet housing. Failure to do
so will result in the square cover (part #8) appearing
uneven.
The center of each jet housing (the nozzle) must be located
12” BELOW the water line for maximum performance and
eciency.
Recheck the location of the jet housing while applying
gunite or pouring concrete. Make sure the jet housing
remains properly aligned and level.
Front edge of each jet housing should finish even with
inside pool wall. Scrape out a V-shaped groove around the
jet housing, approximately 1-1/2” deep to allow marcite to
seal against the jet housing. See Figure 10.
To avoid stress on the housing, the jet housing and 2 to 3
inches of plumbing stub out may be encased in gunite or
concrete. Caution: Too much stress on the plumbing may
crack the BaduStream II housing.
A. Thread one (1) air regulator hose nipple (part #14) into the back of the air regulator holder (part #17). Connect the

NOTE: An extension ring and longer square cover screws (part #9/5) are available (upon request) for applications where the
housing is recessed into the pool wall.
6. Once the concrete or gunite is fully cured and pool wall is completed, install the square cover (part #8) using the four (4)
M6 x 25mm square cover screws (part #9/1).
NOTE: In tile installations, the tile thickness can be compensated for by first installing the clamping ring gasket (part #12)
and clamping ring (part #3) before installing the square cover. The clamping ring and clamping ring gasket are installed using
the eight (8) clamping ring screws (part #9/2, 9/3, or 9/4).
The air regulator can be located in the tile above the
water level or in the deck. When tiling the pool, adjust
the air regulator location so it is 3”-4” ABOVE the water
level. Place and set with hydraulic cement. The air
regulator holder (part #17) should finish flush with the
inner pool wall. Drill a 1/2” hole in the tile line even with
the center hole of the air regulator holder. Tile over the
air regulator holder. CAUTION: DO NOT plug the center
hole of the air regulator holder.
Insert the M10 x 80 mm brass screw (part #24) through
the bottom part of the air regulator (part #23), the 42

Installation in Concrete or Gunite Pools BaduStream in Concrete or Gunite Pool.

1. Using the clamping ring (part #3) as a template, drill holes
in the pool wall for installation. The center line of the clamping
ring should be 12” BELOW the water level (See Figures 14 &
15). Two additional holes will need to be drilled at the 3 and
9 o’clock positions for installation of the jet housing (part #7).
The four brass inserts in the clamping ring should be at the 2,
4, 8 and 10 o’clock positions (See Figure 14).
2. Mount the housing (part #7) and one clamping ring gasket
(part #12) on BEHIND the pool wall using two (2) #14 x 1”
counter sunk screws (part #27). Install the screws from the
inside of the pool wall through the holes drilled at 3 and 9
o’clock positions. (See Figure 14)
3. Install the clamping ring (part #3) and a second clamping
ring gasket (part #12) in FRONT of the pool wall using eight
(8) M6 screws (part # 9/2, 9/3, or 9/4). Screw lengths vary
depending on the installation. NOTE: A good RTV silicone may
be used with the gasket when mounting the jet housing, but in
most cases is not necessary. Installer should decided whether
or not the silicone is necessary.
NOTE: When installed properly, the center of the housing (part
#7) will be 12” BELOW the surface of the water and the air
regulator hose nipple (part #14) will be at the top center of
the jet housing.
CAUTION: When installing the BaduStream Cover (part #8).
Use a Phillips head screw driver and tighten to 1.5 Nm or hand
tight. DO NOT use electrical or air drills. (NOTE: The square
cover, part #8, will have an uneven appearance if the housing
is not installed properly.)
4. For the air regulator assembly, one 1/2” hole must be
provided, preferably along the vertical axis, approximately
3-4” ABOVE the water line. (See Figures 14 & 15). Using the
60 x 11 x 2mm air regulator gasket (part #21), mark and drill
two 1/4” mounting holes (See Figure 14). Use the two (2) 1/4 -
20 air holder screws (part #18) and two 1/4-20 air holder nuts
(part #19) to mount the air regulator holder.
NOTE: Part #18 & Part #21 go in FRONT of the pool wall; Part
#19 & Part #17 go BEHIND the pool wall.
5. Keep all parts not being used now in original box. Store in a
safe place until needed.
6. Once the pool is complete, install the square cover (part #8)
using the four (4) square cover screws (part #9/1).
For Liner Pools Only: Install the jet housing and air regulator
prior to installation or replacement of the pool liner.
For Steel Walled Pools: An optional butterfly gasket (part
#12.1) maybe purchased to replace the two (2)clamping ring
gaskets (part #12). Increase the jet housing hole in Figure 14

When replacing liner or removing liner for repairs; remove the four (4) screws (part #9/1) which hold the square
cover (part #8) to the jet housing. Remove all screws (part #9/2, 9/3 & 9/4) except the top two, which hold the
clamping ring (part #3) and gasket (part #12) to the jet housing. Back out the two remaining screws approximately
halfway and check for any movement of the jet housing from the wall. (NOTE: If the two counter sunk screws
(part #27) which hold the jet housing to the wall were installed, the jet housing should not move, and the two
remaining screws can be removed.) Remove one of the remaining two screws and slide the clamping ring (part
#3) to the side. Replace all the screws before removing the last screw. Remove or replace the liner. Reverse the
process to install liner.
NOTE: When replacing the clamping ring and screws: locate screw heads under liner, make a small cut on the liner
at the screw heads and push the liner over the screw head.
WARNING: The wiring of the pool motor and control box should be done by a licensed electrician in accordance with all
local, state, and federal codes. Be certain that the motor frame and control box are properly grounded. Motor name plate lists
voltage, phase, amp draw, and other information as well as wiring connection instructions.
This section concerns the electric motor and control box for BaduStream II swimjet system.
CAUTION: Before installing the Speck Pump, read the entire pump owner’s manual found in the pump box.
Consult local codes for minimum distance between pump and pool. Locate pump as close to the pool as practical.
CAUTION: There is 50 ft of air tubing included with the BaduStream II swimjet system. The control box should be located
within this distance of the air button. If a longer distance is required, please contact the factory regarding the use of smaller
diameter air tubing.
BONDING: As required by National Electrical Code, the pump motor must be electrically bonded to the pool structure
(reinforced bars, etc.) by a solid copper conductor not smaller than No. 8 AWG via the external copper bonding lug on the
pump motor.
GROUNDING: Permanently ground the pump motor and control box using a conductor of appropriate size.
CAUTION: DO NOT connect to electric power supply until the unit is permanently grounded.
NOTE: Single phase control boxes equipped with GFCI are shown on pages 16-17. Other options are available.
Please contact the factory [phone] for assistance.
Pump Motor: Connect to the #10 green headed ground screw provided inside the motor terminal box.
Control Box: Connect to the aluminum grounding terminal strip on the inside of the control box enclosure.

Winterizing
In areas subject to freezing water temperatures, you should protect your equipment. We recommend you purchase
a winter cover kit part #2308752006K. This kit includes one (1) winter plate, one (1) gasket and four (4) screws.
Also, you can protect your swimjet system as follows: Drain pool until water level has dropped below the anti-
entrapment cover. Then protect pump by removing drain plug and red filler plug (or lid).

5 Frequently Asked Questions
How is the current generated?
The pump generates up to 400 GPM coming out of two (2) jet nozzles at 27 ft. per second and 36 ft. per second thru one (1)
nozzle creating a swim current in excess of 5700 GPM, measured 6 ft. from the jet.
What size pool do I need?
The BaduStream can be installed in any size pool. However, we recommend a minimum length of 14 ft. and a minimum width
of a 7 ft. swimming lane.
What size plumbing is necessary? How far away from the BaduStream can the pump be installed?
Use 4” plumbing up to 30 ft. For runs longer that 30 ft. use 6” plumbing. The pump should be placed as close to the BaduStream
as local codes will allow. See plumbing installation on page 8 for more details.
How many amps does the pump operate at?
4.0 HP: Maximum 21.0 - 19.4 amps @ 208-230 V
3.5 HP: Maximum 15.2 - 14.0 amps @ 208-230 V
What size breaker do I need?
You must use a 40 amp breaker for the 4 HP pump or 30 amp breaker for the 3 HP pump to avoid nuisance tripping.
Is the BaduStream approved?
Yes. The BaduStream swim jet system is listed by MET, UL and complies with UL standard 1563 Swimming Pool Equipment,
ASME standard ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 (ANSI/APSP-16, 2011) Standard for Swim Jet Combination Fittings, and is VGB 2008
compliant.
Do the covers come in dierent colors?
Yes. The round covers can be ordered in gray or black. The square cover is only available in black or white.
Does the air regulator come in dierent colors?
Yes. The air regulator can be ordered in black.
Does it matter if the housing is installed higher or lower than the manual states?
Yes, the center of the jet must be 12” BELOW estimated water level for proper performance of unit.
Can the air regulator be placed elsewhere?
Yes, as long as it is not continuously flooded with water.
Can the pump be placed below water level?
Yes. However, for best performance we recommend ordering a pump for flooded suction (Model 21-80/33G) instead of self-
priming (Model 21-80/33GS). We recommend installing valves for ease of maintenance.
How far away can the air button function properly?
A maximum of 50 ft. from the control box. Consult factory for distances over 50 ft.
Do I need to install a motor starter?
In most case, no. All single phase pumps have built-in thermal overloads. Also, the three phase Model 21-80/33 has built-in
thermal overload. Other three phase pumps require a motor starter.
Should this be tied into my filter system?
No. The swim jet system and the filter system should not be plumbed together as they each provide very specific functions.
Can I use with automated controls?
Yes. It comes with the ability to tie into automated control systems or other switching devices.

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTION
1. Pump will not prime. a. Suction air leak.
b. No water in pump.
c. Closed valves or blocked lines.
d. Low voltage to motor.
Make sure the red filler plug and o-ring are clean and
properly positioned. Tighten red filler plug. Tighten all
pipes and fittings on suction side of the pump. Be sure
water in the pool is high enough to flow through the
jet housing.
Make sure pump housing is full of water.
Open all valves in system. Open pump and check for
clogging of impeller.
Check voltage at motor. If low, pump will not come up
to speed.
2. Motor does not turn. a. No power to motor.
b. Pump jammed.
Check that all power switches are on. Be sure fuse or
circuit breaker is properly set. Check motor wiring at
terminals.
With power o, turn shaft. It should spin freely. If not,
disassemble and repair.
3. Low flow. a. No water in pump.
b. Closed valves or blocked lines.
c. Low voltage to motor
See problem 1.
4. Noisy operation of
motor.
a. Bad bearings. Check for noise when shaft is turned by hand. Motor
will be very hot in bearing area when running. Replace
bearing.
5. Motor runs hot. These motors will run hot to the touch, however, this is normal. They are designed that
way. Thermal overload protector will function to turn them o if there is an overload or high
temperature problem. Excessive heat can be caused by:
a. Low voltage.
b. Installed in direct sun.
c. Poor ventilation.
Increase size of electrical wire. Be sure motor is
operating on correct voltage.
Shield motor from sun’s rays.
DO NOT block motor ventilation openings.
6. Noisy operation of
pump.
a. Air leak in suction line.
b. Restricted suction line due
to blockage or under size pipe.
Indicated by high vacuum reading
at pump suction.
c. Foreign matter (gravel, metal,
etc.) in pump impeller.
d. Cavitation.
Repair leak. Check suction pipe, red filler plug, and
o-ring (See Problem 1).
Remove blockage or increase suction pipe size. Are all
suction valves fully open?
Disassemble pump and remove foreign matter from
impeller.
Improve suction conditions. (Reduce suction line
length, reduce number of fittings, increase pipe size.)
