WATTS pump group - simple and intuitive installation, saving the installer's work
Pump groups are factory-assembled modules that are pressure tested during the production process. The use of pump modules significantly improves and shortens the installation of the boiler room or substation installation.
When using pump groups, the installer is able to complete a fairly large installation of a central heating/boiler room in a relatively short time, e.g. one day. The use of pump groups will make it easier for the installer to organize his work and shorten the actual installation time, thus allowing him to work on another installation the next day.
Pump groups - equipment and application
The groups are equipped with thermal insulation and insulating shells that allow for an aesthetic and eye-pleasing installation. They also work well when there are more than 2 or 3 pump groups in the circuit. The compact connection of the heating circuits of the station also allows for efficient operation of the installation in the future. The insulating shell ensures minimal heat loss.

The insulating shells in WATTS pump groups consist of three parts that ensure thermal separation of individual elements (pipelines, ball valves, mixer) from electronic components, such as pumps. In the case of electronic pumps, an important aspect is to ensure optimal ventilation to protect the temperature-sensitive electronics of the pump.
All the elements you need in one device
The standard equipment of pump groups provides additional fittings that are important for later operation. Installers who choose cheaper solutions often, to save money, do not install certain elements that they think can be dispensed with.
The fittings that we should not forget about, and which will undoubtedly improve subsequent operation, are thermometers on twigs, a non-return/stop valve that will protect the installation against reverse/gravity circulation, etc. The pump group includes all the important and necessary elements in one set.
What should you remember when choosing a pump group?
When selecting pump groups and analyzing aesthetic and practical aspects, one should not forget that they are an element of the installation that determines its proper operation. To properly select the pump group(s), we should have the parameters of individual circuits. Remember to check the required and maximum kvs flow allowed by the pipe elements and mixing valve (if any) of the selected pump group. Another very important thing is the selection of the appropriate pump that will best meet the requirements of a specific heating circuit. You should pay attention to both parameters of the pump's operation: lifting height and flow.
Proper adjustment of the flow to the requirements of individual circuits results in a quiet, efficient and reliable installation. By properly adjusting the flows, we can achieve an energy-efficient installation. The use of pump groups ensures reliable and safe operation of the entire installation.
