More about this product
The Grundfos Scala2 3-45 is a fully integrated variable speed booster pump. All components — pump, motor, inverter drive, pressure and flow sensors, integrated tank, and non-return valves — are built into a single compact unit. Installation is a three-step process: connect the pipes, prime, and plug in.
The intelligent speed controller continuously adjusts pump speed to match household demand, maintaining constant pressure at every outlet even when multiple taps and showers run simultaneously. The water-cooled permanent magnet motor delivers 44 dB(A) typical noise — one of the quietest domestic booster pumps available. The Model2 is 3 dB(A) quieter than the original Scala2.
The Scala2 cannot connect directly to the mains — it must draw from a break tank, cold water storage cistern, or other below-pump water source. It is self-priming to 8 metres. Suitable for horizontal or vertical installation, indoors or outdoors. Backed by a 2-year Grundfos warranty.
Two of the most popular compact variable speed booster pumps at similar price points — compared side by side. Neither can connect directly to the mains.
Scala2 Model2 — the better choice when outdoor installation is needed, or when a break tank / borehole is already in place and installation orientation flexibility matters. No WiFi.
Esybox Mini 3 — higher flow (80 vs 70 l/min), higher head (55 vs 45m), higher max working pressure (5.5 vs ~4.5 bar), WiFi and voice control, longer 3-year warranty — and cheaper at £369 vs £422.48 + VAT. Indoor installation only.

What is a water booster pump?
A water booster pump increases the pressure of an existing water supply to give stronger flow at taps, showers and appliances. It can be a small inline pump fitted to the incoming mains, or a larger pump and tank set that draws from a break tank to feed the whole house. Boosters do not create water – they raise the pressure of the water already coming in.
What is the difference between an inline booster and a tank-and-pump booster?
An inline booster connects straight onto the incoming mains and is limited to 12 litres per minute under UK water regulations – examples include the Salamander HomeBoost and WaterBoost WB-Compact. A tank-and-pump booster, such as the Grundfos Home Booster or DAB Esybox with Esytank, draws from a break tank and can deliver much higher flow rates for larger homes with multiple bathrooms.
What is a variable speed booster pump?
A variable speed booster uses an inverter to adjust pump speed in real time to match demand. It maintains constant pressure as outlets open and close, runs more quietly than a fixed-speed pump and typically saves up to 50 per cent of the energy a fixed-speed equivalent would use. The DAB Esybox, DAB Esybox Mini 3 and Grundfos Scala2 are common variable speed examples.
