Analysis
Grundfos can make a significant contribution to your decision-making process and answer your questions
about which factors to consider. Our specialists have a sound knowledge of the pumps and systems in which
they are used. They are therefore equipped to discuss the bigger picture with you and help find the best
combination of components and materials for your specific system.

We can also provide comprehensive documentation of the performance and capacity of our pumps.
Grundfos WinCAPS pump selection software allows you to “test” not only our own pumps in your system,
but also pumps from different manufacturers to find the optimal pump for the job.

The cost reduction that results from making the right purchase is so significant that it will affect the
profitability of your installation as a whole.
Grundfos WinCAPS

Grundfos WinCAPS pump selection software contains complete
information about all Grundfos pumps, including performance,
dimensional drawings and manuals.
Purchase
It is almost reckless to focus only on the purchase price when selecting your pumps. An overlooked rule of
thumb is that only 5% of the total cost of owning a pump is the initial investment. So your pump could
either save you money or cost you money. But we can help you select the right pump that will
save you money in the long term.

Grundfos’ logistic approach ensures a very high stock availability: standard pumps are in stock in most
Grundfos companies around the globe, and we have our own distribution network supported by 10 centres
in almost every continent. We already offer e-trading options like Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). In
addition an e-supply chain management service, which allows for most products, spare parts and
accessories to be displayed in customer web-sites, is being prepared.

Finally, not only does the product meet the same high standards anywhere in the world, so too does the
service which follows.

Individual Performance Certificate
For each individual pump you purchase, we can conduct a performance test and certify that it delivers on
our promise of flow, pressure and efficiency. The certificate supplements the underlying ISO 9001
certification.
Operation
Choosing the most energy-efficient solution sets the foundation for dramatic savings on operating costs.
This is where the value of our dialogue together will really make itself felt. High-efficiency motors, electronic
speed control and state-of-the-art hydraulic efficiency are all measures that can be taken to drive down
operating costs.

A monitoring system gives you even greater control over your system. Online monitoring, direct
communication and diagnostic tools put you in a position to take fast action to keep the system top-tuned to
suit the varying conditions that prevail over its entire lifetime.

Moreover, Grundfos can offer an appropriate service plan so your pumps maintain optimum efficiency
longer.
