TO OPTIMISATION
Water supply and wastewater networks are critical installations where breakdowns and downtime can have
serious consequences. This means you need an intelligent pump solution that ensures all processes run
smoothly and that equipment is integrated in a way to reduce engineering and programming costs.

Grundfos iSOLUTIONS utilises intelligent technology to optimise how pumps, drives and controls, as well as

measurement and communication units, work together as part of one system. For your system, the result is
high energy reductions, component savings, better communication, trouble-free operation and more.
All this with simple control via your computer, tablet or smartphone. Water utility applications typically face a number of challenges, from rising energy costs and water loss to
significant infrastructure investments. Grundfos develops and implements technologies to meet these
challenges head on.

We offer intelligent products, solutions and services tailored and optimised for any water utility application to
provide maximum reliability and resource efficiency. So, no matter the application, we can help you reduce system
stress, downtime, maintenance and system complexity, while lowering life-cycle costs.

Grundfos iSOLUTIONS utilises intelligent pumps and connectivity to achieve a new level of system control,
optimisation and predictability. Through dialogue and collaboration, we’ll find the perfect solution for your
water utility application.

INTELLIGENT PUMPS
Intelligent pumps can react and operate autonomously based on system demands
to optimise the entire system’s performance. They are easily connected with our
CIM communication modules, which can connect all our motors with built-in
