Taking the opportunity to review the situation where there is a requirement to replace a pump is rarely taken. Instead the pump is replaced with a ‘like for like’ pump which means the opportunity to gain efficiency, save energy and improve comfort levels is lost.

When replacing a pump there are several points that should be considered as these will have an impact on whether you are making the best selection including:

is the pump correctly sized for the current duty requirements
has the building undergone any change of use since the pump was fitted
what solution would mean least pipe work modification
how important is service access

But the most important question of all should be is there an opportunity to replace with a variable speed option that will only work as hard as it needs to? As this can save up to 80%+ of the energy required over a fixed speed counterpart.

Grundfos Pumps have been the frontrunners in developing variable speed technology and can provide you with a wide range of reliable pump solutions plus a wealth of experience. So when the time comes to change a pump, e-place it, don’t replace it with a Grundfos solution.
