Just getting ready to install my first Magna, I have installed the Wilo stratos and the Grundfos alpha but just wondering what ye all have for input on the Magna. Thanks in advance, Tim

 Ps, this is an old 1920s bricker, 70 unit building w/ zone valves for every apt. Pretty good app I felt.

    Magna Pumps

    We installed some on our campus apartment buildings. Just the noise reduction from the old B&G pumps is worth the money. No complaints so far. Watch them ramp up & down., as needed pretty neat. Good Luck!

    Why switch from WILO?

    Were you unhappy with the Wilo? Isn't Wilo the king of ECM pumps?

     Just asking...

    Thanks

    Sizes

    I have you both Wilo Stratos and the Grundfos Alpha.  I think they both work well.  One thing I recently  found out, is that there are very few sizes in the Alpha series compared to the Wilo.  Wilo seems to have a much larger variety to chose from

    Response for Rick.

    Rick, I liked the Wilo Stratos ok but they canned their local rep whom I knew and went to another who is not as mainline and does not know the product. The Grundfos rep here is great so that is why. Tim

    magna: no need to set the orange dial-EASY!

    wilo is a good product and does offer a few mid range sizes that alpha cant cover and magna could but is too expensive.

    the best part about grundfos is that is is truly auto adaptive where wilo ONLy works off a proportional curve. this results in an additional 20% in electricla savings for magna v wilo.

    i hope your install went well. i have been installing magna wherever possible! i have also tried the e pumps from grundfos which work great!

    i just cant wait for the bacnet communication module that is coming! that will be great to VERIFY savings with this pump!
