OLATHE, KANSAS — Grundfos “Pumps on Tour” — a fully equipped, mobile educational center for trade professionals in the residential, commercial and industrial pumping industry — will be visiting 48 different cities throughout the United States from March through November 2010. Each tour stop will allow trade professionals to gain hands-on training from Grundfos staff and the chance to experience interactive pump displays.

Pumps on Tour will feature:

  • The new ALPHA™, an energy-optimized, 115-volt circulator featuring a permanent magnet motor design that will cut power consumption by a minimum of 50%, as compared with other circulators in its class.
  • Thinking Buildings Universe (ThinkingBuildings.com), a new online resource offering contractors and engineers a complete range of information and tools on commercial pumps to help make their building projects come together more smoothly.
  • The award-winning Multi-Stage CR-H, the perfect solution for ANSI (American National Standards Institute) pump users seeking improved efficiency and increased longevity for their existing pumps.
