Industrial Water Heating: More Complex Than It Looks

Hot water delivery in industrial and commercial buildings isn’t just about cranking up the heat—it’s about delivering clean, safe, and energy-efficient water throughout your entire system. And once water enters your building from the utility, the burden of maintaining quality and performance is squarely on your shoulders. From health codes to energy budgets, the stakes are high. That’s why we’re spotlighting the Wilo-Stratos MAXO-Z—the circulator that’s setting a new benchmark for domestic hot water performance.

Meet the Wilo-Stratos MAXO-Z

The Wilo-Stratos MAXO-Z is far from a standard circulator. It’s a smart, high-efficiency glandless wet-rotor circulator designed to handle the real-world demands of industrial and commercial systems—including domestic hot water, heating, cooling, and combined applications.

With a max flow of 240 GPM and head pressure up to 40 feet, this unit delivers serious performance—while giving you complete control, flexibility, and insight into your system’s operation.

Where It Shines

The Stratos MAXO-Z is tailor-made for:

• Domestic hot water recirculation

• Hot-water heating systems

• Air conditioning and closed-loop cooling

• Industrial circulation systems

And when it comes to applications, it’s ready for anything from radiators and fan coils to hydraulic shunts, underfloor heating, ceiling cooling, and more.

Engineered for Efficiency—and Hygiene

Industrial water heating systems must do more than just heat. They have to preserve water quality, minimize energy usage, and meet evolving regulatory demands.

The Stratos MAXO-Z delivers on all fronts with smart features like:

• Thermal disinfection detection – supports legionella prevention strategies.

• No-Flow Stop – prevents unnecessary operation and saves energy.

• T-const. & ΔT control modes – keeps water temps precisely where they should be

• Dynamic Adapt plus – continuously adjusts output to match actual demand.

Thanks to integrated ACS and WRAS certifications, you’re not just operating efficiently—you’re operating with confidence.

Smart, Connected, and Built for the Future

With integrated Bluetooth and optional Modbus RTU or BACnet MS/TP connectivity, the MAXO-Z is ready for modern building automation systems. And with Wilo’s user-friendly interface, managing your circulator has never been easier.

Need fast insights? You’ll love the graphic display with full-text status alerts, power consumption metrics, and temperature readouts. Want to make adjustments on the fly? You can do that right from your smartphone or tablet.

🔧 Features That Set It Apart

• Automatic heating/cooling switchover

• Multi-Flow Adaptation for complex systems

• Up to 7 control modes, including constant speed, pressure differential, temperature-based, and custom PID settings

• Integrated temperature sensor

• Remote operation and diagnostics

• Full motor protection & soft start

  
  

This is not just a circulator—it’s an intelligent system controller built into a compact, high-performance pump.

Why It Matters for You

Whether you're a facility manager, design consultant, or mechanical contractor, the Stratos MAXO-Z gives you the tools to:

• Reduce operating costs

• Improve water hygiene

• Extend system life

• Easily integrate into complex system layout

  
  

And with Wilo’s reputation for long-lasting, energy-saving equipment, you know you’re making the smart choice—for today and the long haul.
