The provided context does not specify a reason for the Grundfos SCALA2 leaking from the bottom after 2 years. However, potential causes could include improper pre-charge pressure maintenance, wear on seals or valves, or unnoticed damage. Regular maintenance, such as checking the pre-charge pressure and cleaning inlet and outlet valves, is recommended to prevent issues.
