Before beginning installation procedures,
these installation and operating instruc-
tions should be studied carefully. The in-
stallation and operation should also be in
accordance with local regulations and ac-
cepted codes of good practice.

1. General

On page 123 of these installation and operating
instructions, you will find copies of the pump and
motor nameplates.
Before the SQ/SQE pump is lowered into the bore-
hole, this page should be filled in with the relevant
nameplate data.
These installation and operating instructions must be
kept in a dry place near the installation site for refer-
ence purposes.

1.1 Applications

The SQ and SQE pumps are designed for pumping
Page
thin, clean, non-aggressive, non-explosive liquids,
4
not containing solid particles or fibres.
4
Typical applications:
5
• Groundwater supply for
5
- private housing,
5
- small waterworks,
5
- irrigation systems in for instance green houses.
5
• Liquid transfer in tanks.
5
• Pressure boosting.
6
The SQE-NE pumps are designed for pumping thin,
6
6 clean, non-explosive liquids, not containing solid par-
ticles or fibres.
7
7
These pumps are suitable for pumping contaminated
or hydrogen-carbonate containing groundwater, e.g.
7
from
7
7
• dumps,
7
• chemical depots,
7
• industrial areas,
8
• oil and petrol filling stations,
8
8
• environmental applications.
9
The SQE-NE pumps can also be used for sampling
9
and monitoring and to some extent for incorporation
in water treatment systems.

Information applying to all pump types:
The maximum sand content of the water must not
exceed 50 g/m³. A larger sand content will reduce
10
the life of the pump and increase the risk of blocking.
11
Note: If liquids with a viscosity higher than that of
11
water are to be pumped, please contact GRUND-
11
FOS.
12
pH values:
13
SQ and SQE: 5 to 9.
13
SQE-NE: Please contact GRUNDFOS.
13
Liquid temperature:
13
The temperature of the pumped liquid must not
exceed 40°C.
