Perfectly balanced with Grundfos

Grundfos Pumps, commissioning

Getting the right balance on domestic heating system is a simple task with the help of the Grundfos Alpha3 system. The company says that 86% of domestic heating systems are not balanced and that balancing a system can reduce heating costs by 5 to 17%.

Having installed an Alpha3 pump, the next stage is to use the Alpha Reader and the Grundfos Go Balance app to help complete hydronic balancing in 2-pipe radiator systems in about half the time of traditional methods.

Other benefits of hydronic balancing include lower return temperatures and less noise in the heating system.
