Grundfos UPS15-58FC Circulator Pumps are designed to move liquids through hydronic heating systems efficiently, quietly and with minimal maintenance. These three-speed circulators can be used in a wide range of applications, hence the UPS in the name, which stands for "Universal Pump Solution." As part of our ongoing effort to provide our customers with the best possible information on the pumps we carry, we put together this spotlight review of the Grundfos UPS15-58FC.
Rated at 1/25th hp and 115 volts, with a flow range of zero to 18 gallons per minute and a head range of zero to 20 feet, the Grundfos UPS15-58FC can handle a variety of common pump applications including one and two-pipe heating systems, main pumps, zone pumps, under-floor heating systems, geothermal heating systems and heat recovery systems.
The UPS15-58FC's three-speed design makes it possible to regulate the pump's output to precisely match the requirements of the application. And once installed, it can be adjusted to fix discrepancies in estimated system resistance and to accommodate an increased number of zones. The pump's internal three-speed motor reduces noise and power consumption.
Efficient design is a Grundfos hallmark and is evident in the UPS15-58FC's canned-rotor configuration. Pump and motor form an integral unit eliminating the need for a shaft seal -- two gaskets are used instead -- and lubrication -- bearings are lubricated by the pumped liquid.
Another great feature of the UPS15-58FC is it's patented electronic starting unit, which gives it the greatest starting torque of any wet rotor circulator.
An internal check valve prevents backflow from entering the unit and eliminates the need for discrete check valve installation, minimizing installation and maintenance costs and maximizing flexibility.
Standard flange connections and an easy electrical connection with push-to-insert wire clips make installation a breeze.
The UPS15-58FC can replace more than a dozen competing models, which makes it one of the most versatile pumps on the market today. It's unsurpassed 3-year warranty makes it one of the safest bets.
