Product Overview
Designed for borehole applications, the Lowara 6GS55 represents a high-efficiency hydraulic wet end within the e-GS line. This pump end must be coupled with a 5.5 kW (7.33 HP) motor to become fully operational. Standard well installation is vertical, though horizontal deployment is permissible.
An outer sleeve of stainless steel protects the multi-stage hydraulic pathways. The assembly utilizes 52 floating impellers made of PC/PPO + PS polymer components. The system handles suspended sand up to a maximum concentration of 150 grams per cubic meter.
Pairing this multi-stage wet end with a compatible 5.5 kW motor (rated at 13.7 Amps on a 415 V three-phase connection) enables a maximum head of 283.6 m. The pump end delivers a maximum flow of 140 L/Min through its Rp 1-1/4" (32 mm) outlet. Flow parameters follow manufacturer data.
The pump end is specified for continuous water temperatures up to a maximum of 35°C. Submergence limits are 150 meters with 4OS motors and up to 300 meters with L4C motor options. Horizontal installation is possible up to standard motor-rated power limits. The multi-stage design requires proper coupling with standard motors to maintain correct performance under standard system heads.
FEATURES
- Equipped with 52 multi-stage floating impellers designed to minimize abrasive wear from sand particulates.
- The external sleeve is fabricated from durable stainless steel to prevent rust and prolong operating life.
- Includes a built-in stainless steel non-return valve in the discharge head to prevent damaging backflow.
- The hexagonal shaft distributes mechanical torque evenly, eliminating vulnerable keyed connections.
- Features precision-cast stainless steel upper and lower brackets to maintain alignment with the motor.
- Complies fully with the Minimum Efficiency Index threshold of 0.40 under European ErP directives.
- Designed to safely handle water temperatures up to 35°C in continuous underwater applications.

Which electrical voltage and motor kilowatt power are needed to run this pump?
Borehole delivery is achieved when the 6GS55 wet end is paired with a 5.5 kW motor on 220–240 V, 50 Hz, single-phase (while 380–415 V, 50 Hz, three-phase motors are supported).
Does this borehole pump include a built-in non-return valve and permit horizontal placement?
Water backflow is halted by an integrated stainless-steel non-return valve in the 6GS-55 head, with horizontal mounting supported at a minimum recommended 3° incline with the motor lowest and a cooling sleeve.
What maximum dynamic head rating can this deep well extraction unit achieve?
Lifting water reliably from deep aquifer layers, the 6 GS 55 produces a maximum dynamic head of approximately 283.6 m under standard test ratings.
What diameter pipe connection is on the top discharge and what peak volume is pumped?
Piping attaches to the pump via the standard 32 mm (Rp 1-1/4") delivery port, allowing the 6_GS_55 to generate a maximum flow rate of approximately 140 L/Min inside standard 4-inch (100 mm) or larger borehole casings.
How does this pump construction resist wear from abrasive grit and corrosive water?
The robust stainless-steel with floating impellers construction of the 6GS55 protects against corrosive groundwater and tolerates sand up to 150 g/m³.
