How do you read the model designation?
The model designation follows the logic MAGNA3 XX-YY [F] [PN6] , where:
- XX – nominal diameter of the connection in mm (25, 32, 40, 50, 65, 80).
- YY – maximum pressure in decimeters (40 = 4 m, 60 = 6 m, 120 = 12 m, 180 = 18 m).
- F – flange connection (without F = threaded connection).
- PN6 – nominal pressure of the flange connection up to 6 bar.
A larger first number means a larger pipe diameter and higher possible flow rate. A larger second number means a higher head, suitable for higher pressure losses in the system.

How to choose a model?
- Diameter (25, 32, 40, 50, 65, 80): Select according to the diameter of the existing pipes and the required flow rate.
- Head (40–180): Choose according to the pressure losses in the system. Higher head is needed for higher losses.
- Threaded or flanged: Threaded models are for smaller diameters and smaller systems. Flanged models are for larger diameters and larger systems.
- PN6, PN10, PN16: Select according to the maximum working pressure of the system.
Control modes
MAGNA3 offers an extensive range of control modes, including AUTOADAPT, FLOWADAPT, proportional pressure, constant pressure, constant temperature, differential temperature and constant curve. The choice of mode depends on the system characteristics and the pressure, flow and temperature requirements.
AUTOADAPT (factory setting)
AUTOADAPT is an intelligent mode that automatically adapts the pump's operating point to the actual system characteristics. The pump starts with a factory setting and automatically selects a lower curve when it registers a lower pressure, ensuring minimal energy consumption and noise level.
Recommended for most heating systems, especially when replacing existing pumps when the duty point is not known.
FLOWADAPT with FLOWLIMIT
FLOWADAPT combines AUTOADAPT with the flow limitation function FLOWLIMIT. This mode is suitable for systems where maximum flow limitation is required, for example in balanced systems with mixing circuits or for main pumps in boiler applications.
FLOWLIMIT ensures that the flow rate never exceeds the set value, reducing the need for throttling valves and saving energy.
Proportional pressure
In this mode, the pump head increases proportionally to the flow rate to compensate for large pressure losses in the distribution pipes. Suitable for two-pipe heating systems with thermostatic valves, long distribution pipes and systems with large losses in the boiler or heat exchanger.
Constant pressure
In this mode, the pump maintains a constant pressure regardless of the flow rate in the system. Suitable for systems with low pressure losses, such as underfloor heating, one-pipe systems and systems sized for natural circulation.
Constant temperature
This mode ensures a constant temperature in the return pipe of the system. Suitable for domestic hot water systems and heating systems with a fixed characteristic. Can be combined with FLOWLIMIT to control the maximum circulation flow rate.
Differential temperature
This mode ensures a constant temperature difference between the supply and return pipes. Requires an external temperature sensor in addition to the internal pump sensor. Suitable for heating and cooling systems where temperature difference control is required.
Constant curve / constant speed
In this mode the pump runs at a constant speed, regardless of the flow rate in the system. It can be used to operate on a maximum or minimum curve, similar to an uncontrolled pump. Suitable for periods when maximum flow is required, for example when domestic hot water priority is given.
Automatic night mode
When activated, the pump automatically switches between normal operation and night mode at low demand. The switchover is based on the supply pipe temperature. Provides additional energy savings during periods of low load.
Multipump function
Allows the control of two or more pumps connected in parallel without an external controller. The pumps communicate via the GENIair wireless connection. Available in modes: alternative operation, backup operation and cascade operation.
Model comparison
The choice of model depends on the diameter of the pipes, the required flow rate and the pressure losses in the system. A larger diameter allows for a higher flow rate. A higher head is required for higher pressure losses.

How to choose the thrust?
- 40–60 (4–6 m): For systems with low pressure losses, short runs, small buildings.
- 80–100 (8–10 m): For medium loss systems, longer runs, medium buildings.
- 120–180 (12–18 m): For systems with high losses, long runs, large and multi-story buildings.
Threaded or flanged connection?
| Characteristics | Threaded | Flanged |
|---|---|---|
| Diameter | DN 25, DN 32 | DN 32–DN 80 |
| Installation | Directly into the pipe with threaded fittings | Through flanges suitable for larger pipelines |
| Application | Small and medium systems | Medium, large and very large systems |
| Support | Easier disassembly for small systems | More convenient for large pipelines and heavy pumps |
