Product Overview
With high-efficiency hydraulics, the Lowara 6GS40 is an e-GS series borehole pump end, meeting strict ErP regulations. Full service requires coupling this wet end with a compatible 4.0 kW (5.33 HP) electric motor. The mechanical framework allows vertical well configurations or horizontal cisterns.
Constructed for long-term submersion, the pump end features a stainless steel outer sleeve. The internal floating stack contains 38 stages utilizing PC/PPO + PS polymer components. This hydraulic design handles water with suspended sand up to 150 grams per cubic meter.
When matched with a compatible 4.0 kW motor operating on 9.8 Amps current (415 V three-phase line), the coupled assembly yields a maximum head of 207.2 m. The pump end achieves a maximum flow of 140 L/Min discharging through its Rp 1-1/4" (32 mm) outlet. Output is verified by factory curves.
Liquid temperature during operation must not exceed 35°C. This pump end is specified for submersion depths up to 150 meters with 4OS motor lines, and up to 300 meters with L4C motor lines. Horizontal use 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.
FEATURES

How deep can the Lowara 6GS40 push water from underground?
With a maximum head of 207 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 6GS40?
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 6GS40 off a farm generator or solar inverter?
Yes, as long as your generator matches its 4.0 kW requirement. It's built for continuous duty on 415V three-phase or standard rural power setups.
Is the Lowara 6GS40 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.
