In many markets, across the country, counterfeit Grundfos pumps are being sold by unauthorized dealers—often at tempting prices. But these fakes are made with poor-quality materials and do not meet Grundfos’s high standards. They fail quickly, cause equipment damage, and can lead to costly breakdowns. Worse yet, many customers don’t realize they’ve bought a fake until it’s too late.

Protect your investment. Know the signs of a genuine Grundfos product—and learn how to avoid the fakes.

How to Spot a Real Grundfos Pump?

When you buy a Grundfos pump, you want the real thing. Here's how to tell it’s genuine:

• The Grundfos name and logo are laser-printed on the motor and cable guard. Not a sticker—it's part of the metal.
• Each part of the pump, including the stages and the suction connector, also has the Grundfos logo printed on it.
• You’ll find the model number printed on all the official labels.
• There's a metal plate fixed on the pump body. This plate has the Grundfos name and important details like model, serial number, date it was made, flow, and pressure—all engraved with a laser.
• There's another nameplate on the motor showing the pump’s power, model, and when it was made.
• You’ll also get a paper label that can be stuck to the electrical board, so you can quickly check pump info without pulling it out of the well. (This is extra—it doesn’t replace the metal one on the pump.

Non-genuine pumps may lead to

• Non-warranty cost
• Inadequate service cost
• Downtime cost
• Reduced pump life span
• Don’t compromise on performance
• Increase your profitability and cut your operational costs
