Domestic heating
Heating pumps are essential components of a comfortable home. High-efficiency circulator pumps offer total reliability, easy installation and significant energy savings through intelligent technology.
Get the best reliability with domestic heating systems
When it comes to domestic heating, reliability is everything. Reliable heating systems ensure that the comfort of the home remains intact, but efficient pumps also go a long way to provide this. Pumps are responsible for 10% of the total electricity in the world, simply due to the fact that many of them run inefficiently. With a high-efficiency solution, however, you will not only bring savings to your customers, you will also reduce their environmental footprint.

How does one read a pump curve of a heating pump?
The pump curve of a heating pump displays the feed rate on the x-axis and the delivery head on the y-axis. The pump curve shown in the graph is curved, dropping off from left to right.
Every possible duty point of the pump is shown on the pump curve where the dependencies are as follows: high feed rate = low delivery head; low feed rate = high delivery head.
In a heating system, a system curve emerges as a function of the system hydraulics. This curve intersects with the pump...
What is the heating system filling water requirement?
VDI Guideline 2035 Part 1 has been in effect since 2005, and VDI Guideline 2035 Part 2 has been in effect since 2009. These guidelines represent recognised rules of the technology. Ongoing technical advances as well as efficiency improvements and energy optimisation mean that modern heat generators and heating pumps are designed with lower tolerances than they were in the past. These technical advances have led to increased demands placed on the medium pumped in the system, as defined by ...
Why does the heating system not reach a sufficient temperature?
Possible cause of the fault
Automatic night set-back is active
The hydraulic conditions have changed. The pump must adapt to these.
When night set-back is activated
Switch on night set-back using Button 4 (for MAGNA, use Button 3).
In "AutoAdapt" mode
Possible cause of fault: The "AutoAdapt" function is unable to correctly adapt the heating system.
Remedy
Why is the heating system making noise?
Possible cause of the fault
The flow rate is too high
This can be resolved by setting the pump to a setting other than "AutoAdapt"
Note the pump setting that appears on the display.
Then use Button 5 to switch the pump to "AutoAdapt". (for MAGNA, use Button 3)
If the supply of heat is sufficient at this point, leave it at this setting.
If the supply of heat is not sufficient, restore the previous setting...
