NOTE: This manual assumes you are familiar with both the geothermal heat pump and the original flow
center you are repairing. Detailed wiring information may be different for each heat pump
manufacturer's equipment. Refer to the heat pump manufacturer's literature for additional information.
Review the following Geo-Flo documents to understand the function of the 3-way 4-position flushing
and service valves and flushing procedures when replacing a pump:
Pressurized flow centers: Document #2122: Pressurized Flow Center Installation, Operating, and
Maintenance Instructions
Non-pressurized flow centers: Document #3761: NP Series Non-Pressurized Flow Center Installation,

  • Page 4: Background

    Grundfos Pumps Corporation discontinued production of the variable speed Magna GEO 32-140 ECM pump in 2019. Geo-Flo purchased a large quantity of these pumps to cover anticipated Magna GEO flow center warranties, but the supply has been depleted. Since the life of a flow center is typically much longer than the warranty period, we developed two kits to allow customers to update their existing flow center with the variable speed UPMXL 25-124 ECM pump to prevent a total flow center replacement.
  • Page 5 Geo-Flo Part numbers that are affected by this pump change are shown in Table 1. Examples of these flow centers are shown in Figure 1. This list does not include all geothermal heat pump OEMs part numbers. Some OEMs have their own part numbers and installation manual; contact your Territory Manager or Distributor for more information.

  • Page 8: Required Fittings And Equipment

    Flo-Link fittings as shown in Figure 4 are required for this procedure. The Geo-Flo Geo-Gooser tool (PN 3502) is useful in conjunction with the garden hose adapter (PN3248) when flushing pressurized flow centers. Review the flushing procedure sections of this manual for how these fittings are used.
