Description
The Grundfos 15 SQE05-70 is a 3-inch multi-stage submersible pump engineered for domestic water supply, liquid transfer in tanks, irrigation, and environmental applications.
The Grundfos CU302 Constant Pressure Controller is required for this pump to operate as a constant pressure system and is sold separately.
Key Features:
- Permanent Magnet Rotor Motor: Single-phase MSE3 motor design ensures optimum efficiency across a wide load range for consistent, reliable performance.
- Floating Impeller Design: Each composite impeller operates with its own tungsten carbide/ceramic bearing for superior wear resistance and long service life.
- Advanced Built-In Protection: Features soft starting and automatic protection against dry-running, upthrust, overvoltage, undervoltage, overload, and overtemperature.
- IP68 Fully Submersible Enclosure: Rated for complete submersion, making it a dependable choice for deep well and below-grade water supply installations.
- Replaceable End Cover with Socket: Motor is fitted with a field-replaceable end cover, simplifying serviceability and reducing long-term maintenance requirements.
The 15 SQE05-70 operates at a rated speed of 10,700 RPM, delivering a rated flow of 13.2 US GPM at a rated head of 85.31 ft. Its direct-on-line starting method and 100-120V single-phase compatibility make it a straightforward fit for standard residential electrical systems.
Constructed with stainless steel pump and motor housings (AISI 304) and composite glass fiber-reinforced impellers, this pump is built to withstand corrosion in demanding groundwater environments. A maximum operating pressure of 217.56 psi ensures reliable performance under deep well pressure demands.
cULus approved and built to ISO9906:2012 3B curve tolerance, the Grundfos 15 SQE05-70 meets the quality and safety standards expected by professional installers and contractors. With a compact 3-inch profile and minimum borehole diameter requirement of just 2.99 inches, it fits a wide range of residential well configurations.
