Grundfos Pumps Corporation, part of the Grundfos Group, and a global pumps and pumping systems leader, recently announced the introduction of ALPHA™, a new generation of circulators for residential and light-commercial hydronic applications.

According to Grundfos Pumps, ALPHA™ features the innovative AUTOADAPT™ function that automatically and continuously adjusts circulator performance to the changing needs of the hydronic heating system. In addition, the new 115-volt circulator is able to cut power consumption by a minimum of 50%, as compared with other circulators in its class.

“By continuously fine-tuning power consumption and flow rates to meet the dynamic needs of the system, ALPHA saves both energy and money”, says Bob Reinmund, senior product specialist for Grundfos. “In live field tests of the product, independent contractors have experienced power savings up to 80% over conventional pumps.”
