What Determines Submersible Pump Prices?
Pump diameter, number of stages, motor power, body material and scope of supply. The factors behind submersible pump prices, the difference between initial and running cost, and the information you need for an accurate quotation.
The main price factors
Pump diameter
Pump diameter follows the well casing. Larger pumps deliver higher flow and generally cost more.
Number of stages
Within a series, more stages mean more head, a longer pump and more motor power, and the price rises accordingly.
Motor power
The motor is a significant share of the cost of a pump set. The required power follows from the absorbed power at the duty point.
Body material
AISI 304 stainless steel pumps cost more initially than cast iron pumps; in aggressive water and long unattended service the difference can pay for itself. See stainless steel vs cast iron.
Scope of supply
Whether the quotation covers the pump only, pump and motor, or a complete set with cable, panel and accessories changes the total.
Supply and frequency
A 50 Hz or 60 Hz supply and the voltage affect the motor selection and therefore the price.

Initial cost and running cost
The cheapest pump is not the most economical pump
A deep well pump runs for years, often many hours a day, so most of the total cost is usually the energy it consumes rather than the purchase price. A pump correctly sized for the duty point and running close to its best efficiency point, together with one pipe size up, may look more expensive at first but generally costs less over the life of the installation. A wrongly sized pump wastes energy and fails early.
Correct sizing
An oversized pump wastes energy and draws the well down too far; an undersized one cannot meet the demand.
Pipe diameter
A narrow pipe increases friction loss; the difference is paid for in motor power and energy bills.
Protection and cable
The right cable size and protection devices prevent most motor failures; a single failure can cost more than both.
Information needed for an accurate quotation
Prepare this information when requesting a quote
An accurate price starts with the correct pump selection. With the information below, our technical team can determine the right model and stage count and prepare a quotation.
Well data
Casing internal diameter, well depth, static and dynamic water level.
Demand
Required flow (m³/h) and the height of the highest delivery point above ground.
Pipeline
Pipe diameter, material and total length; outlet pressure requirement if any.
Electrical
Supply voltage and frequency, distance from the panel to the well head.
Water quality
Water analysis if available; whether there is sand, chloride or iron.

Frequently asked questions
Why are submersible pump prices not listed on the website?
Within the same series, price varies considerably with the number of stages, motor power, supply frequency and scope of supply. Prices are therefore quoted for the model selected from your well data.
How much more does a stainless steel pump cost than a cast iron pump?
Stainless steel pumps have a higher initial cost; the difference depends on size and stage count. In neutral water a cast iron pump is an economical choice, while in aggressive water and drinking water applications stainless steel can be more advantageous over the long term.
Should I buy a complete set or the pump only?
If your existing motor meets the power requirement at the duty point, has the right diameter and is in good condition, the pump alone may be enough. If in doubt, include the motor nameplate data in your request.
Is FANPO a direct manufacturer?
Yes. FANPO manufactures submersible pumps and submersible motors at its own production facility in Şanlıurfa, Türkiye. For a quotation, use the contact page.
