These type of questions has been answered by many people in the forum. For the benefit of the user, I am repeating the answers.

Unless you provide Yield in Inches or Drawdown level of the Borewell. You can ascertain from the Drilling Operator

Since the bore well depth is 380 feet, it is suggested to install the pump at 350 feet for continuous water output. you have got 2 inches of water, you can choose 5 hp or 7.5 hp motor, this also depends upon your requirement, if you very less water you can even choose 3.3 hp motor, And regarding the no. of stages in pump, you can calculate the stages with 30 feet per stage, for you it comes to 12 to 15 stages, depending on the borewell place ground depression or elevation and pumping water above ground level to some height, example to overhead tank or storage tank.

Thanks for your support

  • Can i put 5 HP submersible bore well pump motor OR 3 Hp.
    Adv. It has to be decide based on the DRAW-DOWN Levels. Which Dara your Driller has to Provide at the Time of Drilling.
  • At what depth hv to put motor-
    Adv. If Draw-down level is Not available you have Put the Motor at 10 to 15 Feet Lvel from the Bottom Drilling Depth.
  • How many stage pu
    Adv… You have to go for 5 HP Motor with 3-5 Stages because you are having sufficient water of 2.5 Inches.
