Grundfos 96160142 Well

The Grundfos 96160142 is a professional-grade 10SQ07-240 submersible well pump engineered for reliable performance in residential and light commercial water supply applications. This 3/4 HP centrifugal pump operates on a 200-240V single-phase power supply and is specifically designed for 3-inch or larger boreholes. Utilizing a permanent magnet motor with a built-in frequency converter, the Grundfos SQ series maintains constant pump speed and high efficiency across varying load conditions. For contractors, the integrated protection features are critical; this unit includes dry-running protection, overvoltage and undervoltage protection, and thermal overload protection to prevent motor burnout. The soft-start technology significantly reduces water hammer and electrical ampage spikes during startup, extending the service life of the plumbing system and pressure tank. With a 1.25" NPT discharge, this 10 GPM rated pump ensures stable head pressure and flow rate for deep well installations.

• Internal Protection: Features automated dry-run protection and thermal shut-off to safeguard the motor during low-yield conditions.
• High Starting Torque: The permanent magnet motor ensures a reliable start even under high pressure or fluctuating voltage.
• System Longevity: Integrated soft-start prevents hydraulic shock, protecting pipes and well components from stress.
• Corrosion Resistance: Constructed with 304 stainless steel housing and polyimide impellers for maximum durability in various water chemistries.

Common Questions

Is the 10SQ07-240 compatible with existing 4-inch well casings?
Yes, while the 10SQ07-240 is a 3-inch pump, it is commonly used in 4-inch or larger casings. Its smaller diameter often makes it easier to install in older wells with potential casing deformations.

Does this pump require a dedicated control box?
No, this unit features an integrated electronic motor drive, eliminating the need for an external starter or control box; it connects directly to the pressure switch and power source.

How does the soft-start benefit the electrical system?
The soft-start feature limits the inrush current, meaning you don't need to oversize generators or breakers to handle the initial motor "kick" common in traditional induction motors.
