The motors are factory-filled with a special FDA approved non-toxic
liquid which is frost-proof down to -20 °C.
Check the level of motor liquid and refill if required. Use
tap water.
If frost protection is required, special Grundfos liquid must
be used to refill the motor. Otherwise tap water may be
used for refilling; however refill liquid as described below.
