Description
Overview
The SP30-16 (VP32A-16) is a 6-inch stainless steel multistage submersible borehole pump with a 15 kW motor rating. At 24 m³/h the SP30-16 still lifts water 142 m, and its shut-off head is 182 m, with flow reaching 42 m³/h at the far end of the curve. It is made for irrigation blocks, feedlot and dairy supply, and community or municipal water schemes where the water level sits well below the surface.
Add your pumping water level, the climb to the tank and about 10 percent for friction, and check the borehole yield with your driller. Send us those figures and we will confirm the SP30-16 fits.
Key features
- Stainless steel 6-inch pump end, 16 stages, for boreholes of 150 mm internal diameter or more
- Three-phase supply, 380 V, with oil-filled or water-filled motors and a pump-end-only option
- Head of 142 m at 24 m³/h, and 154 m at 18 m³/h
- Sets of this size come with the 30Y controller.
Options
- 380V set with oil-filled motor, R 29,296: pump end, 15 kW 380 V oil-filled motor (sealed, rated 25 bar) and 30Y controller.
- 380V set with water-filled motor, R 29,296: pump end, 15 kW 380 V water-filled motor (rated 35 bar, usually rewindable) and 30Y controller.
- Pump end only, R 11,184: wet end only, to replace a worn pump end on an existing 15 kW 6-inch motor.
Where it works
On Western Cape vineyards and KZN farms with hilly lands, the head of the SP30-16 carries water up to header tanks.

Questions about this product
What borehole size does the SP30-16 need?
The SP30-16 is a 6-inch pump, so the borehole needs an internal diameter of at least 150 mm. Check the casing size and any bends or dog-legs with your driller before ordering. If the casing is smaller than 150 mm, this pump will not go down, and we can point you to a 4-inch model from the borehole pump range.
Should I choose an oil-filled or a water-filled motor?
Either works. Oil-filled motors are sealed and rated 25 bar, while water-filled motors are rated 35 bar and can usually be rewound if they burn out, which normally makes repairs cheaper on larger motors. For the SP30-16 the 380 V set prices are the same, so choose on repair preference.
Can I get delivery to East London and what does it cost?
Yes, we deliver to East London with our own trucks from Polokwane, normally in 1 to 3 days. A boxed SP30-16 set weighs about 122 kg, over 100 kg, so delivery is on quotation. Orders of R20,000 or more qualify for free delivery.
How do I know the SP30-16 is right for my borehole?
Add your pumping water level, the height to the tank and about 10 percent for friction. The SP30-16 must beat that total at your flow, for example 154 m at 18 m³/h or 122 m at 30 m³/h. Also get the yield test from your driller, because the borehole must deliver that flow. Send us your figures and we will confirm.
Does it run on single-phase power?
No, the SP30-16 is a three-phase pump, supplied as 380 V sets with the 30Y controller. If you only have single-phase on site, ask us before you order so we can advise what is practical for a 15 kW motor.
