AUTOADAPT

AUTOADAPT is an intelligent technology that allows Grundfos pumps to adjust motor speed, flow and pressure according to external factors such as external temperature and consumption. Using advanced algorithms, AUTOADAPT ensures maximum comfort with minimum energy consumption.

FLOWADAPT

FLOWADAPT has all the advantages of AUTOADAPT combined with the FLOWLIMIT function. This means that FLOWADAPT allows you to define the maximum pump flow without the need for throttling valves while minimizing losses.

GRUNDFOS ALPHA series

Grundfos ALPHA pumps (ALPHA1 L, ALPHA2 and ALPHA3) include a complete range of circulators for heating and hot water systems in houses and small commercial buildings.

GRUNDFOS COMFORT

The COMFORT range of energy-saving pumps helps reduce energy consumption and water waste. COMFORT wet-running pumps are installed on the return line of the hot water circulation system and operate noiselessly. They ensure that hot water is available at the tap or shower at any time without waiting. This eliminates waiting time for hot water and the waste of cold water that has to be drained from the tap.
