GRUNDFOS SP, MS/MMS & MP 204
The SP system
Strength all
the way
The SP system
When water needs to move
Complete submersible pump systems
The SP range is your guarantee for high-quality water supply. Capable of handling flows up
to 470 m3/h and heads up to 810 m, SP systems give you everything you need from a single
supplier.
A total system combines a stainless-steel SP submersible pump, an MS/MMS motor made
specifically with submersible pump applications in mind, and an MP 204 motor protection
unit for added reliability. The complete package gives you complete peace of mind by making
sure your water supply application works every time. And all the time.
Stainless steel to handle all environments
SP systems are used worldwide wherever efficient water handling is called for. The main
application areas are irrigation of farmland and groundwater extraction for tap water, but
there are many other, more specialised uses. Impressive water fountains and saltwater fish
farms are just two examples – see below for more. Wherever you need water to move, SP
systems will do it with complete reliability.

others give up. You can even choose extra high-grade stainless steel for very
severe conditions. What is more, a range of protection features prevent damage
if things get too tough even for the SP. It’s no wonder, that you find SP solutions
in the toughest environments – e.g. mines and offshore industries worldwide.

Facts you can’t fake Buy the original. Look for:
Only the SP gives you the reliability and system compatibility you need for a high-quality solution.
It was the first submersible pump of its type, so no-one quite matches Grundfos’ level of expertise within the field. • The Grundfos logo engraved on the pump chambers
• The Grundfos name and logo on the cable guard
And no-one has created such perfectly compatible motors, protection units and accessories to supplement their pumps.
• The identification number on the number plate
SP solutions have that extra touch of know-how and pride in a well-made product that just cannot be faked.
MP 204 – perfect
protection for motors
Electronic pump protection made simple
Even the strongest pump motors can benefit from extra protection against
external threats. The MP 204 motor protection unit has been made especially for
pumps by pump specialists. It is designed to bring you pump protection that is
as simple to use as it is efficient. After just 120 seconds of setting, the unit is
ready to go.
Protect your pumps against external threats
The MP 204 protects pump motors against undervoltage, overvoltage and
other variations in power supply. So even if your external power supply is not
entirely steady, your SP pump will remain as reliable as ever.
Very importantly, the extra protection also reduces wear and prolongs the Dry-running protection True RMS measurement for maximum accuracy
