Wilo pumps awarded the highest ratings by Stiftung Warentest
Dortmund/Berlin. In its current May 2018 edition, Stiftung Warentest, Germany’s leading product testing institute, has tested eleven different heating pumps in terms of energy efficiency, handling, finish and declarations. The Wilo-Yonos PICO plus heating circulator and the Wilo-Yonos PICO-STG solar pump were distinguished with the two highest ratings “VERY GOOD” (1.4) and “GOOD” (2.0) in their respective areas.
“We always aim to develop technical innovations that make life easier for our customers. User-friendliness, a long service life and energy efficiency have been core product characteristics at Wilo for decades. We placed particular emphasis on these characteristics in the development of the Wilo-Yonos PICO plus and Wilo-Yonos PICO-STG pumps in the tests”, explains Georg Weber, Chief Technology Officer at Wilo. “We are of course delighted about the fact that our engineering expertise has been validated by an independent testing institute.”
