Grundfos UP and UPS Series 100 Circulator Pumps for Hydronic Heating, Domestic Hot Water Recirculation, Cooling, and HVAC Systems
Grundfos UP and UPS Series 100 circulator pumps are designed for heating, domestic hot water, cooling, and air-conditioning systems. These pumps are commonly used in residential hydronic heating, hot water recirculation, commercial HVAC loops, and light industrial water circulation applications where dependable flow, quiet operation, and long service life are important. Grundfos describes the UP and UPS Series 100 as circulator pumps designed for heating, domestic hot-water, cooling, and air-conditioning systems.
The UP Series is typically associated with single-speed circulator operation, making it useful for standard heating and domestic hot water recirculation applications where a fixed pump curve is appropriate. The UPS Series adds multi-speed flexibility, allowing the installer or service technician to select a speed setting that better matches the system’s flow and head requirements.
Grundfos UP and UPS circulators are available in various materials, making them suitable for different system types. Cast iron models are commonly used in closed-loop hydronic heating and cooling systems, while bronze and stainless steel options are commonly selected for domestic hot water and potable water recirculation applications. The Series 100 range also includes twin-head variants in some configurations, providing additional flexibility for systems requiring duty/standby operation or alternating pump service.
With a maximum head listed up to 45 feet and liquid temperature capabilities shown by Grundfos for North American Series 100 models starting around 34.9°F, the UP and UPS family covers a broad range of residential and commercial circulation needs. These pumps are also described by Grundfos as reliable and maintenance-free, making them practical for long-term HVAC and plumbing system operation.
