Review on πŸ’¦ Grundfos SCALA2 98562818 3-45 AVCBDF 1x115V 60Hz Auto Water Pressure Boost Pump by Sean Moran

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great Pump So Far (updated 12/21)

Reviews of these devices in 2019 mentioned water leaks confirmed by the manufacturer but allegedly fixed. I bought it to replace an MQ45 that stopped producing pressure after six years. I've only been running Scala-2 for a month, but this is the real deal. MQ pumps are quieter and different pressure settings save you from installing a pressure regulator. Let's see how this pump is after 5 years, but initially it is excellent and still expensive. ------ 21/12: I have to change my original comment. The pump worked for about 13 months and then failed. I had water on the floor. It was a new design that, according to the manufacturer, eliminated previous shortcomings. 24 month pump guarantee. The manufacturer said that I have to go through Revain, but I will probably have problems. Revain ignored it and did absolutely nothing - no advice on who to call, no apology, no ideas how to help, wouldn't help etc. I went back to the manufacturer who had a new one delivered to my door two days later Pump. The key point is don't buy these things through Revain. As good as they are at many things, they are bad at warranty replacement. I still give the pump a 5 but downgraded to a 2 because of Revain. I hope the seals in this pump hold up. This is a great design. -----
