Product Overview
Built to deliver decades of trouble-free commercial service, the Grundfos Hydro MPC-E 2 x CRIE 3-8 Single Phase 2 x 1.1kW 304ss Booster System w/8L Tank and CU 352 Controller represents Grundfos precision engineering. Two Grundfos CRIE 3-8 multistage pumps work in unison to eliminate pressure fluctuations during heavy usage. Part number 93637501 provides the complete tested package in a single order line.
Through precision motor-speed modulation, the pump set easily achieves flows up to 180 L/min. Across vertical multi-storey plumbing risers, the package comfortably develops up to 76.5 metres of head. A Grundfos GENIECON PANEL on the common base frame provides system control; the GENIECON unit inside holds the exact hydraulic data of the pumps to stage operation precisely according to real-time curve demand.
Factory assembly aligns all pumps on a rigid, vibration-absorbing steel base. The set is fully pre-plumbed with two Rp 2 inch threaded manifold connections, dedicated isolation valves, and integrated non-return valves on each discharge line. It connects to a 1 x 230 V supply at 50 / 60 Hz with combined rated current of 6.7 A (2 x 3.4 A per pump). A 8L diaphragm pressure tank absorbs initial draw-offs and line hammer, while IP55 enclosure protection and a 16 bar pressure rating ensure long-term mechanical reliability. Liquid-temperature suitability is 5°C to 60°C for all standard clean water booster duties.
Perfect for high-throughput commercial kitchens, hotel catering banks, and banquet centres. Integrating variable speed electronic control eliminates water hammer, extends mechanical life, and lowers lifecycle energy consumption compared to fixed-speed boosting systems.
