Product Overview
Bulk water transfer in agricultural and off-grid environments requires high-volume solar-powered pumping, making this submersible pump suitable for borehole installations operating on DC energy. It supports applications where large quantities of water must be moved efficiently without reliance on grid electricity.
Performance reaches a maximum head of 15 m while delivering flow up to approximately 150 L/Min at lower head conditions, derived from the performance curve peak. This enables efficient handling of high-volume transfer requirements with stable output across varying demand conditions.
A multi-stage centrifugal hydraulic design with closed stainless steel impellers enables efficient high-flow operation while maintaining stable pressure characteristics. This configuration reduces hydraulic losses and ensures consistent discharge across the working range.
The construction incorporates AISI 316 stainless steel for pump, impellers, and motor components, providing corrosion resistance in submerged environments. A 4-inch design requires a minimum borehole diameter of 104 mm, while integrated protections including dry-running, overload, and voltage safeguards ensure dependable operation.
