233 Litre Per Minute Bore Pumps

233 Litre Per Minute Bore Pumps

233 litre per minute bore pumps are the FPS-14 range of 6″ Inch bore pumps are available in Three 3 Phase.  They are suitable for 6 inch or larger bore casings.

14m3/h flow rating. 200LPM to 233LPM is the most efficient flow produced by the FPS-14 range.  However, they are capable of flows from 100LPM to 266LPM. Also, capable of heads from 20m to 600m. (see flow chart below)

If you require the FPS14 models such as the 2.2kw or 3.7kw in Single 1 Phase 3-wire, please contact us.

Three phase contactors / starters are sold separately and are only available up to 7.5kw.

More pump details and selection advise below the displayed products (at bottom of page).

Each FPS-14 model can produce more or less than 233LPM depending on the head that it is operating at.

All the models on this page are capable of producing from 133LPM to 233LPM efficiently.  They can operate outside that range for short periods of time, but over long periods of time it may shorten the life of the motor. See image below for “Pump Operating Range”.

The amount of water that you get depends on the head that the pump is operating at.

For example, the FPS-14A-05 (which is a 2.2kw / 3hp bore pump), will produce 233LPM when operating at a head of 36m.  This same pump will produce 266LPM if it is operating at a head of 29m. It will produce a lesser flow of 175LPM if operating at a head of 45m.

Bore Pump Selection Hints

Please remember that the ‘Head’ is not just the depth that the pump is set at down the bore casing.  To learn more on how to calculate the ‘head’, please go here: How to Calculate the ‘Total Head’.
