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.
