Product Overview
Specified as a standalone hydraulic pump end, the Lowara 8GS11 belongs to the e-GS series for deep well extraction. Pairing with a compatible 1.1 kW (1.47 HP) motor is necessary for system operation. Standard vertical casing installation is standard, but horizontal mounting is specified within motor limits.
Constructed with a stainless steel casing, the pump end protects internal hydraulic components from rust. The multi-stage assembly incorporates 7 floating impellers made of PC/PPO + PS polymer. It permits continuous handling of sand in water up to 150 grams per cubic meter.
Pairing this pump end with its required 1.1 kW motor (7.6 Amps current on 240 V single-phase supply) enables a maximum head of 37.2 m. The coupled system produces a maximum flow of 183 L/Min discharging through a 50 mm Rp outlet. Performance curves conform to factory specifications.
During continuous operation, the wet end handles fluid temperatures up to 35°C. Operating depth limits are 150 meters with 4OS motors and up to 300 meters with L4C motors. Horizontal mounting is possible with 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.

How much maintenance does the Lowara 8GS11 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 8GS11 push water from underground?
With a maximum head of 37 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 8GS11?
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.
Can I run the Lowara 8GS11 off a farm generator or solar inverter?
Yes, as long as your generator matches its 1.1 kW requirement. It is designed for continuous duty on a 240 V single-phase supply.
