Water Supply Benefits

The Grundfos CR range is ideally suited for water supply applications - installed as single units or as part of complete booster systems.

  • Water works and water distribution - private and public
  • Pressure boosting for network distribution
  • Pressure boosting for high-rise buildings, public institutions, industry and agriculture

Reliability is a key factor
Reliable water supply systems are a key factor in our modern society. Grundfos CR pumps are constructed as heavy duty units, capable of withstanding the wear and tear resulting from repeated stop-and-start operations as well as extended periods of continuous running - typical of water works.

Low running costs
Supplying water at the lowest possible price is another essential requirement, resulting in increased demands for pump efficiency as well as low running and maintenance costs. With their high efficiency ratios (greater than 80%) Grundfos CR pumps are designed to meet these demands.

Easy servicing
CR models are constructed with long-term use in mind, featuring easily replaceable wear parts and servicing that requires no special tools. The mechanical shaft seals are available as O-ring or bellows for models up through CR16, and the larger models - CR32 and up - are fitted with cartridge shaft seals which can be replaced without disassembling the pump (or removing the motor for 15-60 HP). The optional Grundfos hybrid seal offers protection of the seal faces against occasional dry run.

High user comfort
Due to the optimized pump characteristics of Grundfos CR pumps, end users will enjoy maximum comfort. Minimal levels of noise and vibration allow the pumps to be installed practically anywhere.

Complete booster systems
Grundfos offers a wide range of fully integrated booster systems, based on the CR program. Grundfos BoosterpaQ® systems incorporate advanced controls for adjusting and monitoring the pumps.
