Grundfos SCALA1 brings intuitive water boosting to New Zealand homes through intelligent pump control
An all-in-one booster solution designed to achieve convenience and customised control over your home water system –
right from your smartphone
As homeowners increasingly look to digitalisation to make their living space easier, more comfortable and more
efficient, Grundfos, a global leader in advanced pump solutions and water technology, today announced the launch of
SCALA1 in New Zealand. This innovative water booster pump offers intelligent connectivity that allows control over your
home water systems, right from your smartphone.
With 86.7% of New Zealand’s total population living in urban areas, and digitalisation becoming a prevalent part of
everyday life, urban homeowners are increasingly attracted to smart homes, which are integrated with digital solutions
capable of anticipating and meeting their needs. These solutions will also enable them to control their smart home
ecosystems remotely from anywhere with an internet connection.
The new SCALA1 offers such easy, seamless connectivity. The latest addition to Grundfos’ SCALA range of fully integrated
water booster pumps, SCALA1 is a compact all-in-one, easy-to-install solution that is designed for pressure boosting in
domestic and light commercial applications, such as garden irrigation or pressure boosting in one- and two-family houses
and apartments.
In line with the SCALA range which achieves optimal pressure boosting for water on demand through intelligent pump
control, SCALA1 is an all-in-one unit, integrating pump, motor, diaphragm tank, pressure and flow sensor, dry-running
protection, controller, and non-return valve.Intelligent control right at your fingertips
With busy homeowners in mind, SCALA1 comes with a built-in two-way communication system, allowing users to track their
water system anytime when in range. The Bluetooth-enabled solution allows users to monitor, control, and schedule water
use from their smartphone with the intuitive Grundfos GO REMOTE app, which is available for both iOS and Android operating systems.
The Grundfos GO REMOTE app alerts the user via a series of alarms that indicate issues such as leakages, dry-run, or
when a pump has exceeded its maximum runtime. Users can easily access pump diagnostics, create and email reports on-site
from the app. The app also includes a calendar function designed for boosting in homes and gardens.
Giancarlo Roggiolani, Regional Sales for Director Domestic Building Services – APAC & China, Grundfos said, “Water plays a crucial role in how we enjoy our homes, and yet low or varying water pressure continues to be a
disruptive issue for many households. Technology like SCALA1 holds great potential for turning a house into a smart
home, through greater connectivity and intuitively responding to our needs. The launch of SCALA1 will mean homeowners
can control and customise their water supply experience with ease via the app and achieve optimal pressure boosting all
while conserving energy and water without sacrificing comfort or convenience.”Summary of benefitsAll-in-one booster unit: Optimal pressure boosting and intelligent pump controlEasy to install: Simply connect the pipes, prime the pump and plug it inBluetooth connectivity: Monitor, trouble-shoot and control SCALA1 from your smartphoneCalendar function: Set the schedule for pump operation from your smartphoneEasy twin pump control: Twin pump setup available if greater flow is required, with configuration enabled by the Grundfos GO REMOTE app
