Grundfos UPA – booster pump for increasing pressure in the home

Grundfos UPA is a compact circulation pump designed to increase the pressure in the water supply system. It ensures normal operation of showers, taps and other points of consumption, even when the inlet pressure is insufficient.

Automatic operation A flow sensor turns on the pump when water is needed.
Compact design Easy installation in limited spaces.
Quiet operation Cooling by the working fluid without additional ventilation.

Main advantages of UPA

  • Increases pressure in the plumbing system.
  • Automatic on and off according to water consumption.
  • Flow sensor for water flow detection.
  • Cooling by the working fluid – no need for additional ventilation.
  • Compact design for easy installation.
  • Suitable for open water supply systems.
  • Supplied with 1.5 meter cable and plug.

Automatic operation

UPA pumps are equipped with a flow sensor that automatically turns the pump on when the flow rate exceeds 90–120 l/h and turns it off when the consumption drops. This ensures convenient operation without the need for manual control.

Operating modes

  • OFF: the pump is off.
  • AUTO: the pump starts and stops automatically according to water consumption.
  • MANUAL: continuous operation (UPA 15-90 only). The pump runs continuously, even without consumption in the system.

Applications

  • Pressure boosting for showers and baths.
  • Improving the performance of taps and mixers.
  • Water supply for washing machines and dishwashers.
  • Compensation of low inlet pressure in the city network.
  • Water supply from low pressure tanks.

Suitable working fluids

  • Fresh water.
  • Drinking water without chemical additives.
  • Chlorinated drinking water.
UPA pumps are not suitable for transporting flammable liquids such as diesel fuel and gasoline!

General technical characteristics

Characteristics Value
Pump type Circulation booster pump with flow sensor
Working fluid Fresh and drinking water
Minimum inlet pressure 0.2 bar (2 m)
Working fluid temperature +2°C to +95°C
Maximum ambient temperature +40 °C
Degree of protection IPx2D
Power cable 1.5 m with plug
Cooling From the working fluid (without additional ventilation)

Important during installation

To avoid noise and the risk of cavitation, the minimum inlet pressure of the pumps must be at least 0.2 bar (2 m). The pump is installed in open water supply systems and does not require additional ventilation, as it is cooled by the working fluid itself.

During installation, check that the inlet pressure meets the minimum requirements and that the piping is correctly sized for the selected model.

Features and capabilities

Operating modes

UPA pumps offer flexibility in choosing the operating mode to meet the different needs of the installation.

Mode Description Availability by model
OFF The pump is off and not working. UPA 15-90
AUTO The pump starts and stops automatically when the flow rate exceeds or falls below 90–120 l/h. UPA 15-90 and UPA 15-120 AUTO
MANUAL Continuous operation – the pump runs continuously, even without consumption in the system. UPA 15-90 only

Productivity

  • Added pressure: The pump typically adds between 0.5 bar and 0.75 bar (UPA 15-90) or between 0.5 bar and 1.1 bar (UPA 15-120 AUTO) to the existing inlet pressure.
  • Consumption points: Suitable for power supply from 1 to 2 points (UPA 15-90) or from 1 to 4 points (UPA 15-120 AUTO).
  • Minimum inlet pressure: 0.2 bar (2 m) for both models to avoid noise and cavitation.

Temperature range

  • Working fluid temperature: +2 °C to +95 °C (TF95).
  • Maximum ambient temperature: +40 °C.

Electrical characteristics

  • Power P1 max: 120 W (UPA 15-90) or 200 W (UPA 15-120 AUTO).
  • Current L1/1: 0.48 A (UPA 15-90) or 0.89 A (UPA 15-120 AUTO).
  • Degree of protection: IPx2D for both models.

Hydraulic connections

  • UPA 15-90: Rp 3/4 – Rp 1/2 unions.
  • UPA 15-120 AUTO: Rp 1 – Rp 1/2 unions.

Maximum working pressure

  • UPA 15-90: Max. 6 bar.
  • UPA 15-120 AUTO: Max. 10 bar.
The choice between the two models depends on the number of consumption points, the required added pressure and the maximum operating pressure in the system.

Comparison of UPA models

Grundfos UPA is available in two main models – UPA 15-90 and UPA 15-120 AUTO. The choice depends on the number of consumption points, the required added pressure and the maximum operating pressure in the system.

Which model to choose?

  • UPA 15-90: Suitable for small installations with 1–2 points of consumption (e.g. one shower and one tap). If you want the option of manual mode (MANUAL) or more compact dimensions, this is the right choice.
  • UPA 15-120 AUTO: Suitable for larger installations with up to 4 points of consumption. Provides higher added pressure (up to 1.1 bar) and higher maximum operating pressure (10 bar). Operates only in automatic mode.
To avoid noise and cavitation, ensure that the minimum inlet pressure is at least 0.2 bar (2 m) before installing the pump.

The technical characteristics are in accordance with the provided Grundfos UPA technical catalogue. Please check the specific model and its specifications before ordering.
