Grundfos 15 SQ07-180: Reliable Water From Narrow Wells
A good well pump is one you never think about. The Grundfos 15 SQ07-180 is a 3-inch stainless steel submersible pump built for homes, cabins and small water systems that need steady flow from a narrow well. It runs on 200 to 240 V single-phase power and protects itself from the problems that usually wear pumps out early.
Why You'll Love The Grundfos 15 SQ07-180 Pump
Fits tight wells. At just 3 inches in diameter with a minimum borehole of 2.99 in, it suits small or restricted wells where a 4-inch pump will not go. That can save you the cost of redrilling.
Gentle on your electrical system. Soft start brings the motor up smoothly with a low starting current, and the low amp draw lets you share a circuit or use a smaller supply line. Your lights do not dim every time the pump kicks on.
Built-in protection. The motor guards against over and undervoltage and voltage fluctuation, with internal thermal protection. Dry-running protection switches on 40 seconds after power-up to allow the pump to prime.
Stainless where it counts. The pump and motor housings are AISI 304 stainless steel, with a built-in non-return valve. That means long service life in normal well water.
Your life, with the Grundfos 15 SQ07-180 Pump
Morning showers, a load of laundry and the garden hose all running in the same hour. The pressure stays steady and the pump starts quietly without a lurch in the lights. You stop thinking about the well and just use your water.
