The Grundfos Domestic Hot Water Recirculation Solution with Spherical Motor Technology
The Grundfos COMFORT PM Recirculating Pump It is specifically designed to provide maximum comfort and efficiency in domestic hot water (DHW) systems in single-family and semi-detached homes. Its advanced technology guarantees instant hot water at the tap, while minimizing energy consumption.
This model represents the pinnacle of the Experience Grundfos' domestic recirculation system. It's an investment in lasting comfort, reliability, and energy savings.
🔬 Spherical Technology: Silent and Reliable Operation
The main technical advantage of the COMFORT PM Pump It is their exclusive Spherical MotorThis design feature increases reliability and reduces the need for maintenance:
-
Without Rotating Axis: Unlike conventional encapsulated motors, the spherical motor lacks a rotating bearing shaft. The magnetic field is transferred directly to the rotor that propels the water.
-
Hermetic Separation: The part of the pump that drives the water is hermetically sealed from the stator by a spherical stainless steel separator. This effectively prevents sediment from entering.
-
Simplified Maintenance: The motor can be easily removed from the pump housing. This allows for quick cleaning, maintenance, or replacement without having to disassemble the system's hydraulics.
✅ Key Benefits for the User and the Installation

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why is it important that the pump housing be made of bronze?
The use of bronze in the housing is crucial to ensure compatibility with potable water and prevent long-term corrosion. This material meets the strictest sanitary regulations.
What operational advantage does the spherical motor offer compared to a conventional encapsulated motor?
The spherical motor is more reliable and quieter because it eliminates the rotating shaft and mechanical seals, which are common points of wear and leakage in conventional motors. Its hermetically sealed design reduces the risk of blockages from dirt or sediment.
Can I install the COMFORT PM in low-pressure systems?
No. The Grundfos COMFORT PM Circulating Pump has been designed and should only be used in pressurized domestic hot water systems.
