Product Overview
The Lowara 16GS55 represents a high-efficiency hydraulic pump end within the redesigned e-GS borehole family. Safe operation requires coupling this wet end with a standard 5.5 kW (7.33 HP) motor. Mounting configurations allow vertical deep wells or horizontal mounting inside cisterns.
Featuring a corrosion-resistant stainless steel external casing, this pump end houses a multi-stage hydraulic stack. The system utilizes 29 floating impellers made of PC/PPO + PS polymer. This configuration handles suspended sand up to 150 grams per cubic meter of fluid.
Coupled to a compatible 5.5 kW electric motor drawing 13.7 Amps on 415 V three-phase power, the system delivers a maximum head of 113.7 m. This multi-stage pump end has a maximum flow of 367 L/Min with a 50 mm Rp connection. Performance curves match manufacturer specifications.
The pump end handles water temperatures up to 35°C. Safe immersion depths reach up to 150 meters when using a 4OS motor or up to 300 meters with an L4C motor. Horizontal installation is possible for 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.

What happens if my bore water level drops below the Lowara 16GS55?
This is a wet-end assembly and does not include a motor. Pair it with a compatible motor and use the motor/controller manufacturer's recommended overload and dry-run protection.
How much maintenance does the Lowara 16GS55 need?
Virtually none. The sealed bearings and shaft seals are lubricated for life, giving you years of trouble-free daily pumping.
How deep can the Lowara 16GS55 push water from underground?
With a maximum head of 113 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 16GS55?
No, it won't. It uses Lowara's floating impeller design to handle up to 150 g/m³ of sand without clogging or wearing down internal parts.
