5
be fatal, whether touched directly
5
or conducted through standing
5
5
water. For this reason, proper
6
grounding of the pump to the
6
power supply's grounding
6
terminal is required for safe
7
installation and operation.

• Compare the pump's nameplate data and its
17
performance curve (for head, gpm, etc.)
with the application in which you plan to
install it.
• Will the pump do what you expect it to do?
2.1.1 Pump to system type
recommendations
• Open systems (i.e. potable water):
Stainless steel or bronze volute (pump
housing) only.
• Closed systems (i.e. airless, non-potable
water): Cast iron, stainless steel, or bronze
volute (pump housing).
Other considerations regarding Grundfos
SuperBrute XL, UP and UPS pumps:
• These pumps are intended for indoor use
only.
• If installed outdoors the pump must be
protected by an appropriate, well ventilated,
water-tight enclosure to keep out moisture
and dirt.
• Minimum ambient temperatures must be no
lower than 33 °F (1 °C).
• For ambient and fluid temperature see
sections 2.4 Pumped liquid requirements
and 7. Additional technical data.
