The largest QJ sizes are for wells of 175 mm and 200 mm. They carry more flow per stage, so they reach large heads with a practical number of stages. The top of the range is the 200QJ20-450/34: 20 m³/h to 450 m with a 45 kW motor.
| Series | Pump diameter | Flow sizes (m³/h) | Highest head |
|---|---|---|---|
| 175QJ | 169 mm | 10, 20, 32, 40, 50 | 247 m (175QJ20-247/19) |
| 200QJ | 182 mm | 20, 32, 40, 50 | 450 m (200QJ20-450/34) |
If your head is between two models, choose the one just above, and send us the dynamic water level and the delivery height so we can check the duty point.
