Choosing the Right Groundwater Submersible Pump and Motor for Your Home Water System
If your home uses a water well, having the right submersible pump and motor is essential for reliable water pressure and system longevity. At Environmental Equipment & Supply, we carry a curated selection of trusted residential groundwater pumps and motors from leading manufacturers like Franklin Electric and Grundfos. Whether you’re looking for constant pressure performance, energy efficiency, or durability in tight spaces, we have the solution to keep your water system running smoothly.
Franklin Electric 3200 Series – Built for Tight Well Spaces
The Franklin Water Systems 3200 Series submersible pump ends are explicitly designed for narrow or screened wells where traditional 4-inch pump ends don’t fit. With a smaller diameter and available stainless steel or thermoplastic discharge connections, these pump ends are an excellent choice for homeowners who need flexibility without sacrificing performance.
Grundfos 4in pumps are manufactured with a hydraulic design in a highly efficient and corrosion resistant (stainless steel) product. The pumps include a built-in check valve to reduce the risk of water hammering. Viton parts make the pump suitable for aggressive water conditions.
When either of these pumps are paired with a Franklin Electric 4-inch motor, you get a reliable, high-efficiency solution backed by one of the most respected names in groundwater systems. These motors are compatible with any standard 4-inch pump end and come in:
- Two-wire with ground or three-wire with ground
- 115VAC or 230VAC single-phase (ideal for residential use)
- Three-phase options for commercial or higher-demand systems
Grundfos SQ & SQE Series – Advanced Technology with Constant Pressure
If you’re looking for a high-tech, energy-efficient solution, consider the Grundfos 3-inch SQ or SQE pump and motor assemblies. These systems are more compact than traditional 4-inch pumps but offer advanced features homeowners will appreciate:
Grundfos SQ:
- Integrated soft-start reduces strain on your power system
- All protective features (dry-run, over/under voltage, overload) are built into the motor
- Ideal for new installations or replacing older well pumps
Grundfos SQE:
- Includes all features of the SQ line
- Operates at variable speeds when connected to the Grundfos CU301 controller
- Provides constant water pressure, even when household demand changes (like showers and dishwashers running at the same time)
These systems are a smart investment for anyone upgrading their water well system to reduce cycling, improve pressure stability, and increase efficiency.
