The Grundfos SQE 2-130 (92994565) is the deepest-lifting pump in the Grundfos SQE 2 family. It is a 3″ stainless steel variable-speed submersible borehole pump for very deep domestic private water supplies, farms and irrigation. It delivers 2 m³/h (about 33 litres/min) at 137 m head from a standard 230V single-phase supply. The 1.85 kW MSE3 permanent-magnet motor has dry-running protection, soft start and voltage protection built in. Pair it with a Grundfos CU 301 and it holds a constant pressure at the taps. It fits any borehole from 76 mm (3″) upwards.

Constant pressure needs a CU 301. The pump is supplied with a 1.5 m motor lead. 3-core drop cable and a cable joint kit are needed to reach the surface. We can size and supply the cable and the CU 301 package for your borehole.

Grundfos SQE 2-130 overview

The SQE 2-130 is an 8-stage pump and the top model of the Grundfos SQE 2 family. It runs on the largest 1.85 kW MSE3 motor and is rated at 137 m of head at 2 m³/h. It is designed for boreholes where the pumping water level sits around 90–100 m down, or where deep water has to climb steep ground to reach a property, farm or header tank. Typical jobs are very deep private water supplies in hard-rock and upland areas, remote homes, farms and holiday lets.

Run on its own, it behaves like a standard fixed-speed pump. Connect a CU 301 control unit and it becomes a constant-pressure system. The pump speeds up and slows down to hold the pressure you set, communicates with the CU 301 over the existing power cable, and reports faults on the CU 301 display.

Performance

Head is the total lift the pump must provide: depth to the pumping water level, plus height to the outlet, plus pipe losses, plus the pressure you want, at about 10 m per bar. The full performance curve is on the Grundfos data sheet in the Downloads section.

Flow (m³/h)	Flow (l/min)	Head (m)	Equivalent pressure
2.0	33.3	137	13.7 bar (rated point)

Worked example: pumping water level 95 m, plus a 12 m rise to the plant room, plus about 5 m of pipe losses, plus a 2.5 bar (25 m) CU 301 set point, gives 137 m. That puts the SQE 2-130 on its rated point at about 2 m³/h. If your water level is shallower, the SQE 2-115 may be enough. If you need 2 m³/h from deeper still, ask us about a 4″ Grundfos SP.

Key features

Constant pressure with CU 301

Set the pressure you want on the CU 301 and the SQE varies its speed to hold it as taps open and close. You get steady showers, fewer starts and stops, and a smaller pressure vessel.

No extra cables

The SQE and CU 301 communicate over the pump’s own power cable, so no signal wire goes down the borehole. Faults and alarms show on the CU 301 display.

Dry-running protection

The motor monitors its own power draw. It cuts out if the borehole runs dry and restarts automatically once water has recovered, which protects both pump and borehole.

Soft start and voltage protection

A smooth ramp-up keeps start current low and reduces water hammer. Over- and under-voltage protection stops the motor below 150V or above 315V instead of burning out.

Built for real boreholes

Floating impellers with tungsten carbide/ceramic bearings tolerate sand up to 50 g/m³. A spring-loaded non-return valve is built into the pump top.

Stainless steel construction

Pump sleeve and motor are EN 1.4301 (AISI 304) stainless steel with glass-reinforced composite impellers, for a long life in clean groundwater (pH 5–9).

Installation notes

Hang the pump below the lowest expected pumping water level. It must be fully submerged before it is switched on.
Use 3-core submersible drop cable. Grundfos SQ/SQE motors do not take a 4-core cable. Join it to the motor lead with a heat-shrink cable joint kit.
At 12.3 A over a cable run of 100 m or more, cable size matters. Undersized cable means voltage drop and nuisance cut-outs. Ask us and we’ll confirm the cross-section for your depth.
For constant pressure, fit the CU 301 with its pressure sensor and a small diaphragm pressure vessel on the surface pipework.
Use rising main and fittings rated for the pump’s 15 bar maximum operating pressure.

Grundfos SQE 2-130 FAQs

How much water does the Grundfos SQE 2-130 pump?

At full speed it delivers 2 m³/h (about 33 litres/min) at 137 m of total head. The full curve is on the Grundfos data sheet in the Downloads section.

How does the SQE 2-130 compare with the SQE 2-115?

Both use the 1.85 kW motor and fit a 76 mm borehole. The SQE 2-130 has an eighth stage and is rated at 137 m against 128 m at 2 m³/h, for deeper water levels.

Do I need a CU 301?

Only for constant pressure. Without one, the SQE runs at fixed speed. With a CU 301, you set the pressure on the control unit and the pump adjusts its speed to hold it.

Will the SQE 2-130 fit my borehole?

Yes, if the borehole or liner has an internal diameter of at least 76 mm (3″). It fits comfortably in standard 4″, 5″ and 6″ domestic boreholes.

What happens if my borehole runs dry?

The SQE senses the drop in power when there is no water, stops itself, and restarts automatically once the water recovers. With a CU 301 fitted, the dry-running alarm also shows on its display.

What cable does it need?

A 3-core submersible drop cable (live, neutral, earth) from the 1.5 m motor lead to the surface, joined with a heat-shrink joint kit. At this current and depth the cable size matters, so we’ll confirm it for your run length.
