Compact and efficient waterworks The new Scala2 house waterworks from Grundfos offers a particularly compact, versatile solution for the supply of water in homes and gardens. Thanks to a constant pressure control, the system comes without a bulky diaphragm tank and only needs a quarter of the space required for a comparable conventional household waterworks with 24ℓ or 60ℓ diaphragm tanks. The water-cooled, whisper-quiet, highly efficient permanent magnet motor brings the same hydraulic power as a traditional domestic water system, but is as quiet as a dishwasher and with a maximum of 550W power consumption, it is significantly more energy efficient. The Scala2 can be installed quickly without the need for tools and provides 10 safety and comfort functions for protection against typical dangers such as dry running or over/under-voltage.
