Product Overview
The multi-stage Lowara 12GS55R is a submersible borehole wet end within the high-performance e-GS family of pump ends. The system becomes operational once coupled to a standard 5.5 kW (7.33 HP) electric motor. It allows vertical installation in narrow wells or horizontal mounting.
With a stainless steel external casing, the pump end is constructed to resist water corrosion. The internal design has 30 stages featuring floating impellers molded from PC/PPO + PS polymer. This configuration is specified for suspended sand up to 150 grams per cubic meter.
Pairing this wet end with a standard 5.5 kW electric motor rated at 13.7 Amps on a 415 V three-phase line yields a maximum head of 124.4 m. The multi-stage pump end delivers a maximum flow of 250 L/Min via its Rp 2" (50 mm) outlet. Performance is verified under standard testing.
Maximum fluid temperature for this pump end is specified for 35°C during operation. The submersion limit is 150 meters when coupled with a 4OS motor and up to 300 meters with an L4C motor. Horizontal placement is possible up to motor-rated kilowatts. The multi-stage design requires proper coupling with standard motors to maintain correct performance under standard system heads.

How deep can the Lowara 12GS55R push water from underground?
With a maximum head of 124 m, it easily lifts water from deep bore shafts and pushes it across long pipe runs without losing pressure.
Will sand in my bore water ruin the Lowara 12GS55R?
It uses Lowara's floating impeller design to handle up to 150 g/m³ of sand without clogging or wearing down internal parts.
Can I run the Lowara 12GS55R off a farm generator or solar inverter?
Yes, as long as your generator matches its 5.5 kW requirement. It's built for continuous duty on 415V three-phase or standard rural power setups.
Is the Lowara 12GS55R safe to use in mineral-heavy or salty groundwater?
The pump uses stainless-steel wetted components; suitability for saline or aggressive water should be confirmed against the manufacturer's liquid-compatibility limits.
