Description
Overview
The 4SD8/36 is a 4 inch stainless steel multistage submersible borehole pump from the Vega 4SD8 range, with a maximum head of 227 m and up to 10.8 m³/h (180 L/min) at lower heads. At 100 L/min it still produces 171 m of head. This 5.5kw 4 inch borehole pump runs on a 5.5 kW oil-filled motor and fits boreholes with an internal diameter of 100 mm or more.
To size it, add the depth to the water level, the height up to your tank and about 10% for pipe friction. At 100 L/min this one suits a water level of roughly 145 m with 10 m of lift above ground. Send us your borehole details if you are unsure.

Where it works
Large irrigation supply and big livestock operations in the Free State and Eastern Cape use this size where the water sits 150 m down or more. It also suits plant and village supply from a deep aquifer. See all borehole pumps, or compare the 4SD8/30 borehole pump and the 4SD8/42 borehole pump.

Questions about this product
Which 4SD8/36 option do I need for my power supply?
Choose the 380 V three-phase set with Y1 controller or the 525 V three-phase set with a VSD for your supply. Only the options listed under Options apply to this model, and the prices shown include VAT. Send us your supply details if you are unsure which set to order.
How deep can I set the 4SD8/36 in my borehole?
Add the depth to your water level, the height up to your tank and about 10% for friction. At 100 L/min this pump gives 171 m, which suits a water level of roughly 145 m with 10 m of lift above ground. Its shut-off head is 227 m. Deeper than that, you need a higher-head pump.
Do the sets come with cable and delivery pipe?
No. Submersible cable, rope, delivery pipe and the base plate are not included in any option, so add those to your order or supply them yourself. Each set includes only the pump end, motor and controller listed under its option, and the pump end option is the wet end alone.
How much is delivery of the 4SD8/36 to Welkom?
We deliver to Welkom with our own trucks in 1 to 3 days. Fees follow total order weight. The heaviest set ships at about 64 kg, in the R1,450 band. A pump end on its own is much lighter. Orders of R20,000 or more are delivered free.
