270 Litre Per Minute Bore Pumps

270 Litre Per Minute Bore Pumps

270 litre per minute bore pumps are the FPS-16A range of 4″ Inch bore pumps are available in Single 1 Phase 2-wire & 3-wire and Three 3 Phase.  They are suitable for 4 inch or larger bore casings.

16m3/h flow rating. 170LPM to 340LPM is the most efficient flow produced by the FPS16A range.  However, they are capable of flows from 100LPM to 370LPM. Also, capable of heads from 5m to 115m. (see flow chart below)

If you require any of the FPS16A models in Single 1 Phase 3W-PSC, please contact us.

Standard 1 Ph 3-wire and 3W-PSC models come standard with a starter box.

You will also receive a FREE Splice Kit and External 2″ check valve with your purchase. Free Shipping Australia wide.

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

Each FPS-16A model can produce more or less than 270LPM depending on the head that it is operating at.

All the models on this page are capable of producing from 170LPM to 340LPM 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” and “Best Efficiency Range”.

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

For example, the FPS-16A-06 (which is a 1.1kw / 1.5hp bore pump), will produce 320LPM when operating at a head of 168m.  This same pump will produce 210LPM if it is operating at a head of 13m. It will produce a lesser flow of 200LPM if operating at a head of 19m.

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’.
