The Grundfos MAGNA3 series circulator pump is designed for circulating liquids in systems with variable flows where it is desirable to optimize the setting of the pump duty point, thus reducing energy costs. This pump is especially suitable for installation in existing systems where the differential pressure across the pump is too high in periods with reduced flow demand.  It is also suitable for new systems where automatic adjustment of pump head to actual flow demand is desired, without using expensive bypass valves or similar components. Furthermore, the pump is suitable for systems with hot water priority as an external signal can immediately force the pump to operate according to the maximum curve, for example in solar heating systems.  Simply install the pump and leave it on the factory setting, AUTOADAPT.  The pump will automatically analyze the heating system, find the optimum setting and then continuously adjust its operation to changes in demand saving time and effort.

The MAGNA3 is the most efficient circulator available on the market today. With the lowest Energy Efficiency Index (EEI) in the world, below 0.20, you can achieve energy savings of up to 75% compared to a typical installed circulator. With the unique Autoadapt control these savings can be as much as 85% and thereby a remarkably fast return on investment.
