Energy costs account for up to 90% of the overall cost
of a pump during its lifetime. In other words, thinking
about energy eciency is not only beneficial to the
environment – it could also save you a lot of money.
Life Cycle Cost (LCC) analysis is an objective standard
that allows you to benchmark dierent pump
solutions and suppliers based on initial investment
and the costs of installation, maintenance and energy.
By considering life cycle cost when you choose
your pumps, you can help reduce CO
2
dramatically
and thereby make an important contribution to
thewell-beingofourplanet.AllGrundfosTPEpumps
come with integrated frequency converters that
reduce energy consumption and ensure the lowest
possible life cycle cost and the best conditions for
our environment.

Grundfos has several ways to do an energy
refurbishment, depending on your pumping system.
The pump refurbishment scale:
Small: Replace old pumps with
new state-of-the-art high eciency ones.
Medium: Ensure that all pumps are sized correctly
and replace ones that are not.
Large: Conduct full assessment of the pump
system and draw up action plan.
For more information contact your local Grundfos
company.
