DID YOU KNOW?

Pumps over 10 years old are usually far less efficient.

The good news is you can make a big difference on your customers energy bill by upgrading them to a newer circulator pump.

Up to 75% more efficient

The UPS3 can replace most old Grundfos circulators in appliances – such as boilers making it a reliable option for replacing thousands of old inefficient pumps currently in operation.

By Simply downloading the Grundfos GO REPLACE app and scanning your old pump, you can immediately find out if the UPS3 is a suitable replacement. Saving a significant amount of time and cost to boiler repair.

Up to 80% more efficient

The ALPHA3 is the most energy efficient domestic heating pump with an Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) of 0.17. It has never been quicker or easier for you to operate a pump in domestic heating systems. The ALPHA3 is fully-controlled via a smart device using the integrated Bluetooth communication.
