Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the maximum flow rate of the Grundfos CR 5?
- The CR 5 delivers up to 32 GPM at 60 Hz.
- What is the maximum head/pressure of the CR 5?
- Maximum head is 720 ft (about 290 psi). Actual operating point depends on stage count and motor size.
- What materials of construction are available for the CR 5?
- Cast iron pump head, base & motor stool; AISI 304 stainless steel chambers, impellers and shaft; ceramic/carbon shaft seal (HQQE/HQQV)
- What applications is the Grundfos CR 5 suitable for?
- Industrial pressure boosting, boiler feed, cooling-tower makeup, condensate transfer, washdown, reverse osmosis pre-feed, fire protection, light-industry process water
- Can this pump be supplied with a variable frequency drive (VFD)?
- Yes - either order the matching E-Pump variant with integrated MLE motor (CRE / CRIE / CRNE / CME), or pair the fixed-speed pump with a Grundfos CUE external VFD.
- What shaft seal options are available?
- Standard HQQE (carbon/SiC with EPDM) for cold/warm water and HQQV (carbon/SiC with FKM) for hot water and aggressive media. Cartridge double seals available for hazardous duty.
- Is dry-run protection available?
- Yes - the Grundfos LiqTec sensor mounts inside the pump head and shuts down the pump if it detects dry running. Standard on most CRE configurations.
- Is the Grundfos CR 5 available with stock or quick-ship lead times?
- Many configurations ship from stock through Grundfos USA. Contact ForeverPure Place for current lead time on your specific configuration.
