Spring 2022 Update:
Grundfos has now released the SCALA1. if you want to check that out or learn all about the differences between SCALA1 and SCALA2, we have the resources for you.

The latest and greatest in residential pressure boosting pumps is now officially the SCALA2 series. Our customers are very familiar with Grundfos. Though SCALA2 hit the market a few years back, many customers remained dedicated to the older MQ3 series for its reliability. So how does the SCALA2 vs MQ3 series measure up?
SCALA2 did have a few manufacturer flaws (more on that later), but they’ve now been fixed, and it is the superior pump. They have made it easier to meet the variable demands of your plumbing system while delivering the reliability and integrity you expect with Grundfos engineering.
When Will Grundfos Phase Out MQ3?
You could say that it’s already begun and probably will be complete in June. For customers who want to continue buying the MQ3 series, PlumbersStock will carry it as long as we can because we know plenty of people will still be looking for it. Here are the MQ3 models in question:
- 115v MQ3-35 3/4 HP booster pump (all sold out)
- 230v MQ3-35 3/4 HP booster pump (all sold out)
- 115v MQ3-45 1 HP booster pump (all sold out)
- 230v MQ3-45 1 HP booster pump (all sold out)
