A water pump 125QJ5-70 is a 2.2 kW borehole pump coded for about 5 m3/h at 70 m head.
By the QJ code, it suits wells of about 125 mm (5 inch) bore. Confirm the curve and casing size before ordering.
What is a water pump 125QJ5-70?
A submersible pump runs underwater with a sealed motor, pushing liquid up rather than sucking it. Borehole pumps fit inside a well casing, while dewatering and sewage pumps sit in pits, tanks and trenches.
Because they push from below, submersibles avoid suction lift limits. Therefore, they lift water from deep boreholes and drain flooded sites efficiently.
