Grundfos SCALA2 – constant water pressure for the home

Grundfos SCALA2 is a fully integrated, self-priming and compact booster pump for pressure boosting in water supply systems. The integrated speed control adjusts the performance according to demand and maintains a constant pressure at the taps.

Constant pressure Automatic adjustment according to current consumption.
Quiet operation Noise level below 47 dB(A) in typical use.
Energy efficiency Permanent magnet motor with integrated frequency converter.

Main advantages of SCALA2

  • Constant and adjustable pressure in the plumbing system.
  • Integrated frequency converter.
  • Built-in pressure measurement sensor.
  • Automatic speed adjustment according to consumption.
  • Self-priming construction.
  • Compact all-in-one system.
  • High energy efficiency.
  • Low noise level – below 47 dB(A) in typical use.

Constant pressure at different consumption

SCALA2 measures the outlet pressure and compares it with the preset level. When consumption increases, the control increases the engine speed. When consumption decreases, the speed is reduced. This maintains a stable pressure regardless of the number of open valves and the inlet pressure.

Easy installation

The pump is designed for quick installation. It is necessary to connect the pipes, fill the pump with water and connect to the electrical network. After switching on, SCALA2 starts automatically when water is needed.

Self-priming operation

The self-priming function allows the pump to lift water from a level below the inlet and process a mixture of air and water until a fully filled condition is reached. The maximum recommended suction height is up to 8 m with a properly installed suction installation.

Protections

  • Dry-running protection: automatically stops the pump in the event of a lack of water.
  • Protection against frequent on/off: prevents excessive cycling of start-ups due to small leaks.
  • Maximum operating time protection: stops the pump after 30 minutes of continuous operation.
  • Thermal protection: protects the motor from overload and overheating.

Applications

  • Pressure increase from the city water supply network.
  • Water supply from a roof, above-ground or underground tank.
  • Water supply from shallow wells up to 8 m.
  • Water supply to kitchens and bathrooms.
  • Maintaining comfortable pressure in residential systems.
  • Light commercial applications where a compact booster is required.

Suitable water

SCALA2 is designed for clean and fresh water, as well as chlorinated water with a free chlorine concentration below 1 ppm and a maximum chloride content of 300 ppm.

When using water from a well or rain tank, a filter at the inlet is recommended to protect the pump from sand, gravel and other solid particles.

Why choose SCALA2?

SCALA2 is the right choice when constant pressure, comfort when using several consumers simultaneously and low noise level are priorities. The integrated control automatically adapts the pump operation without the need for a separate frequency converter.

Important during installation

The pump must be installed on a stable horizontal base and protected from flooding. The pipes must not transmit mechanical stress to the pump. The suction pipe must be correctly dimensioned and made without air pockets.

Component materials

SCALA2 combines aluminum and composite construction with stainless steel components to ensure high strength, corrosion resistance and long service life.
