01
Grundfos Pressure Boosting Range
Grundfos offers pressure boosting solutions from light-commercial water supply to larger commercial, industrial and water-supply systems.
SINGLE-PUMP BOOSTERS
Hydro Solo-E
Single-Pump Commercial Booster
CONFIGURATION
Single variable-speed pump
SPEED CONTROL
Constant-pressure control with flow estimation
BEST FOR
Commercial water pressure boosting and distribution
A fully optimised single-pump booster set for systems where constant pressure is essential, with plug-and-pump installation. A compact choice where a multi-pump set is not needed.
CMBE
Compact Pressure Booster
CONFIGURATION
Single variable-speed pump
CONTROL
Integrated speed control with pressure sensor
BEST FOR
Domestic and light-commercial water supply
A high-efficiency compact booster for clean-water supply and pressure boosting. A pressure sensor detects changes in consumption and the integrated speed control adjusts the pump to keep pressure constant.
MULTI-PUMP BOOSTER SETS
Hydro MPC
Advanced Multi-Pump Pressure Boosting
CONFIGURATION
2 to 6 parallel pumps (CU 352 versions)
CONTROL
Central controller: CU 352 or GENIECON
BEST FOR
Complex buildings, industrial processes and water utilities
Grundfos’s premium pressure-boosting range. A central controller manages the pumps to hold stable pressure as demand changes. Versions include Hydro MPC-E and Hydro MPC-F.
Hydro Multi-E
Integrated-Control Multi-Pump Booster
PUMPS
2 to 4 frequency-controlled pumps
CONTROL
Built into the pumps; no separate control unit
BEST FOR
Apartments, hotels, hospitals, schools and irrigation
A plug-and-pump booster set in which the pumps communicate with each other. Any pump can act as the controlling unit, so the set keeps running if a sensor or pump fails. It can be monitored with the Grundfos GO app.
CMBE TWIN
Compact Twin Booster
PUMPS
2 CMBE pumps in parallel on one base plate
CONTROL
Integrated speed control in each CMBE
BEST FOR
Light-commercial water supply
A compact twin booster with two CMBE boosters connected in parallel, designed to provide constant water pressure in light-commercial applications
Advanced Commercial Pressure Boosting
Grundfos Hydro MPC
For larger or more demanding duties, Hydro MPC combines two to six pumps with a central controller focused on stable pressure, energy efficiency and system monitoring. Grundfos positions it as its premium pressure-boosting range for complex buildings, industrial processes and water-supply installations.
GENIECON
Latest multi-pump controller, succeeding the CU 352
10-inch touch display
BMS ready
02
Pressure Boosting Applications
Commercial Buildings
Reliable water pressure as demand changes across offices, schools and other commercial properties.
Hotels & Apartment Buildings
Consistent pressure across multi-storey buildings with varying periods of demand.
Water Supply & Distribution
Boost clean-water pressure where the available supply pressure is insufficient.
Industrial Water Supply
Controlled water pressure for industrial processes, cleaning systems and production facilities.
Water Treatment
Pressure boosting for clean-water transfer and water-treatment applications.
Irrigation
Maintain the required pressure for commercial and larger irrigation systems.
03
Choosing the Right Pressure Boosting Set
The right booster set depends on how much water is required, the available incoming pressure and how demand changes throughout the system.
|
Factor
|
What we need to know
|
|---|---|
|
Required flow
|
How much water must the system deliver during normal and peak demand?
|
|
Required pressure
|
What outlet pressure is needed at the system or the furthest point of use?
|
|
Incoming pressure
|
What pressure is already available from the mains supply or break tank?
|
|
Demand profile
|
Is demand fairly constant, or does it vary significantly through the day?
|
|
Redundancy
|
Must supply continue if one pump is unavailable?
|
|
Controls & connectivity
|
Is simple pressure control enough, or is BMS or remote monitoring required?
|
|
Application
|
Hotel, apartment building, industrial facility, water treatment or another use?

Comparing the Grundfos Pressure Boosting Range
The main differences are the number of pumps, the level of control and the type of application. Use this as a starting point before final selection.

Replacing an Existing Booster Set?
If you have an existing Grundfos booster set, such as a Hydro Multi-B, we can assess the installation and advise on servicing or a suitable current replacement. Send us the nameplate details, system information and required duty.
frequently asked questions
What is a pressure boosting set?
A pressure boosting set uses one or more pumps to increase and control water pressure where the available supply pressure is not sufficient for the building or system.
When is a booster pump system required?
Typically where incoming pressure is too low or unstable, where water must reach upper floors, or where changing demand causes unacceptable pressure variation.
What is the difference between Hydro Multi-E and Hydro MPC?
Hydro Multi-E has no separate control unit: its two to four pumps communicate with each other and any pump can take over control. Hydro MPC uses a central controller, CU 352 or the newer GENIECON, and is Grundfos’s premium range for complex buildings, industrial processes and water-utility installations.
How is a pressure boosting set selected?
Selection depends on required flow, outlet pressure, available inlet pressure, the demand profile, redundancy requirements and the level of control needed.
Can Tricel help with an existing Grundfos Hydro Multi-B system?
Yes. If you have an existing Hydro Multi-B booster set, send the pump nameplate details, system information and required duty to our pump team. We can review the installation and advise on servicing or a suitable current replacement.
