Submersible Borehole Pumps

Submersible pumps are used for pumping clean water from boreholes, wells, and collection tanks. While self-priming pumps and domestic waterworks only draw water from the source, borehole pumps are submerged in the water, which they draw in and subsequently push the water column into the pipes and to the points of use. Therefore, they can be used for depths greater than 8 metres. The specific shape of the borehole pump allows for use in narrow spaces, such as narrow water boreholes, and they can be connected in series or parallel.

Before you start pumping water from a borehole, it is necessary to clean the borehole and clarify the requirements for the submersible water pump.

And how to choose a submersible borehole pump? To start, you need to know the following parameters:

  • Borehole diameter

  • Depth of the borehole and distance to the points of use (from which you can easily calculate the pump's delivery head)

  • Expected amount of water the submersible pump should handle

  • Amount of solid particles in the water (determined from a chemical analysis of the water)

Equipped with this information, take a look at our guide and/or get advice directly from our experts when selecting a submersible water pump .

We recommend purchasing a complete set, which includes everything you need, including protective elements (such as dry run protection, protection against voltage fluctuations, etc.). Not only will you not need to purchase additional accessories, but the protective functions will reward you with longer lifespan and lower operating costs.
