Maximize Water Savings with SCALA1

The smart solution for your clients

In a world where sustainability and energy efficiency are top priorities, offering solutions that help your clients reduce costs and protect the environment is essential. The SCALA1 system by Grundfos is a powerful tool that collects and reuses rainwater, turning a natural resource into a valuable asset for everyday use.

Why SCALA1 is the ideal choice for your clients

1. Economic and Environmental Savings

SCALA1 allows the collection of up to 48,000 liters of rainwater per year, which can lead to significant savings on water bills. The harvested water is perfect for garden irrigation, outdoor cleaning, toilet flushing, and laundry — reducing reliance on drinking water and lowering associated costs.

2. Quick and Hassle-Free Installation

Thanks to its compact design and self-priming system, SCALA1 can be installed indoors or outdoors without the need for manual priming. It can lift water from depths of up to 8 meters, making it easy to integrate into various rainwater harvesting setups.

3. Smart Technology and Connectivity

With the Grundfos GO mobile app, users can monitor and control the system remotely. This Bluetooth-enabled connection allows for parameter adjustments, real-time alerts, and system diagnostics — all from a smartphone, ensuring optimal performance at all times.

4. Quiet and Energy-Efficient Operation

Operating at less than 55 dB(A) — comparable to a modern dishwasher — SCALA1 provides a peaceful environment. Its high-efficiency motor also helps reduce energy consumption, which benefits both the user’s budget and the planet.

5. Compact and Durable Design

SCALA1 integrates the pump, pressure tank, controller, and safety valves into a single compact unit, saving space and simplifying installation. Its robust, weather-resistant casing ensures long-lasting performance, even under demanding conditions.
