Irrigation Benefits

Irrigation is critical to food supply, recreation, and commercial landscape needs. Grundfos CR pumps provide the reliability and efficiency demanded by these applications.

Designed for irrigation
Grundfos CR pumps have excellent suction characteristics (low NPSH), and are suitable for handling water carrying moderate amounts of sand or other particles which can be detrimental to many types of pumps. This is achieved partly through the use of tungsten carbide bearings in the CR series. CR pumps are designed to start reliably even after extended periods of inactivity. The larger models - CR32 and up - can be supplied with a special hybrid seal which is capable of withstanding occasional dry running.

Reliable and economic
Failure of an agricultural irrigation pump may have devastating consequences. Reliability is an essential quality of any pump to be used for this purpose. The CR series is designed to meet this demand. The high efficiency of the CR pumps - greater than 80% - results in extremely low energy consumption and low long-term running costs.

Easy to install and service
Due to their compact vertical in-line design, CR pumps are easy to handle and can be installed practically anywhere. The pumps may be installed horizontally when required. The unique service kit program makes it easy to service the pumps in the field. No special tools are required.

Wide selection of models
A wide variety of models makes it possible to select a pump to suit any irrigation system.
