Grundfos COMFORT PM AUTO
Energy-efficient & intelligent hot water recirculation
The COMFORT PM AUTO range sets new standards for energy-efficient hot water recirculation in residential homes. Thanks to a low noise permanent magnet motor, energy consumption is reduced to as little as 5-8.5 W. Utilizing AUTOadapt ensures the pump only runs when required. The result is maximum comfort with lower wait times for hot water, reducing water and electrical waste.

Benefits
Minimize Water Waste
The COMFORT PM pump delivers hot water efficiently, eliminating the wait for hot water delivery to your tap. This results in lower costs without compromising comfort.
Lower Energy Consumption
The intelligent AUTOADAPT function significantly reduces energy consumption, ensuring the pump runs only when required. Compared to conventional pumps that run continuously, the COMFORT PM with AUTOADAPT can show cost reductions of up to 96%.
Operating Modes
The COMFORT pump with AUTOADAPT features three operation modes:
- AUTOADAPT: Learns, stores, and adapts operation time to the consumption pattern of the home owner.
- Temperature mode: Keeps the water temperature within an automatically detected range in the individual system.
- 100% mode: Allows the pump to run constantly at full speed.
Regardless of the operation mode, the COMFORT range provides silent operation and hot water in an instant.
Performance Curve
A performance curve graph illustrates the relationship between Head (in meters and feet) on the Y-axis and Flow Rate (in US GPM and m³/h) on the X-axis for the UP 10-16 model. The curve shows that as the flow rate increases, the head decreases, starting from approximately 1.2 meters head at a flow rate of 0.5 m³/h and dropping to near zero head at a flow rate of 0.5 m³/h (2.2 GPM).
