Product Overview
The Lowara 16GS30 is a submersible borehole wet end within the e-GS range, meeting ErP directives with MEI values above 0.40. Pairing this pump end with a compatible 3.0 kW (4.0 HP) electric motor is required for full operation. Standard well installation is vertical, although horizontal mounting is available with motor-dependent limits.
The external sleeve is fabricated from stainless steel to limit water corrosion. Internally, a floating impeller stack incorporates 16 stages made of PC/PPO + PS polymer components. This multi-stage setup allows the handling of suspended sand up to a maximum concentration of 150 grams per cubic meter.
When coupled with a 3.0 kW motor (drawing 7.1 Amps on 415 V three-phase), the complete assembly achieves a maximum head of 60.6 m. The pump end delivers a maximum flow of 367 L/Min via an Rp 2" (50 mm) outlet. Volumetric parameters are validated under official testing guidelines.
The pump end is specified for water temperatures up to 35°C during service. Submersion limit is 150 meters with 4OS motors, or up to 300 meters with L4C motor options. Horizontal operation is possible using 4OS motors up to 2.2 kW and L4C motors up to 7.5 kW. The multi-stage design requires proper coupling with standard motors to maintain correct performance under standard system heads.

Will sand in my bore water ruin the Lowara 16GS30?
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 16GS30 off a farm generator or solar inverter?
Yes, as long as your generator matches its 3.0 kW requirement. It's built for continuous duty on 415V three-phase or standard rural power setups.
Is the Lowara 16GS30 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.
What pipe size connects to the Lowara 16GS30 discharge port?
It fits a standard 50 mm outlet connection. Using the right pipe diameter ensures you get the full 367 L/Min discharge flow.
