- By using the new pumps from Grundfos, consumers may save large amounts of energy and, at the same time, contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions for the benefit of the environment. For Grundfos the replacement of the pumps will give access to a very attractive market of close to 6 billion Euros in the coming years, said Mr Sørensen.
MAGNA3 is the most energy efficient large circulation pump. In addition to AUTOADAPT function the MAGNA3 pump is equipped with two new control modes: FLOWADAPT and FLOWLIMIT that in most cases make using counterbalancing valves unnecessary. MAGNA3 has a built-in heat energy meter. All aspects of the pump operation are effectively controlled by an innovative wireless interface with Grundfos GO control program.
A wireless interface, Grundfos GO is designed to provide communication through an iPhone, iPad or smart phone to control the pump and allow back-end access to Grundfos technical data
