3" IBQ 2-8 - submersible pump
The IBO 3" IBQ submersible pump is a multistage design with a high-speed motor, intended for drawing and pumping raw water in single-family homes and farms, as well as for irrigation, drainage, and industrial applications. The inverter integrated into the motor provides a soft start without water hammer and a wide supply voltage tolerance range, while the smaller drive dimensions make installation in narrow boreholes easier.
Who it's for
-
Single-family homeowners – the compact design fits narrow wells, while the wide supply voltage range (160–250 V) improves resilience to grid fluctuations.
-
Farms and horticultural operations – higher-output models supply irrigation systems and drip lines without the need for a larger motor.
-
Industrial and drainage systems – soft start-up reduces mechanical and electrical loads when the pump is switched on frequently.
-
Installers – the smaller motor dimensions, with hydraulic performance maintained, reduce drilling and installation costs.
Applications
The 3" IBQ series is designed to draw raw water from boreholes and open water reservoirs for use in single-family homes, farms, garden and orchard irrigation, land drainage, and supplying raw water to water supply and industrial systems before treatment. The pump does not treat water; if you intend to use it for other purposes, we recommend ensuring appropriate water treatment.
The pumps operate on single-phase power across a wide voltage range of 160–250 V, with a maximum pumped liquid temperature of 35°C. The 3" IBQ 230 V submersible pump works with a pressure tank with a capacity of at least 80 L, as required by the motor's soft-start characteristics.
Features of the 3" IBQ series
IBO 3" IBQ series pumps are equipped with a high-speed motor (6,000 rpm) that uses permanent magnets, along with an inverter. The inverter does not regulate pump output based on water demand; its purpose is to increase and maintain the motor's high speed. This allows a smaller motor to be used with the same hydraulic performance as a traditional pump.
The inverter provides a smooth start-up over several seconds, without a sudden increase in current draw or water hammer in the system. It also monitors the motor's current draw and switches off the pump if dry running is detected. The body, housing, shaft, and rotor are made of AISI 304 stainless steel, while the impeller and diffuser are made of PPO polymer.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – IBO 3" IBQ submersible pump
What type of well is the 3" IBQ submersible pump suitable for?
The pump has a maximum diameter of 78 mm, allowing it to be installed in standard 3-inch drilled wells. Before purchasing, it is advisable to measure the actual borehole diameter to avoid installation problems.
What makes the 3" IBQ pump stand out?
The pump uses a high-speed motor (6000 rpm) with permanent magnets and a frequency converter, allowing it to be smaller than a conventional motor with the same hydraulic performance. The frequency converter also provides a soft start without water hammer, a wide supply voltage range (160–250 V), and built-in dry-run protection based on monitoring current consumption.
Does the 3" IBQ pump require a special pressure tank?
Because it starts gently over a few seconds, the pump should be used with a pressure tank with a capacity of at least 80 l – a tank that is too small may cause the pump to switch on too frequently.
How do I choose a 3" IBQ pump model to suit my needs?
The right model depends on the well depth and the amount of water needed at one time – the series includes options with different head heights and flow rates, from modest household needs to larger agricultural and industrial installations. W If you have any questions, please contact our technical department.
Where can I buy an IBO 3" IBQ submersible pump?
Dambat does not sell directly. 3" IBQ series pumps are available from retail partners, plumbing wholesalers, and authorized online distributors.
What warranty terms apply to the 3" IBQ pump?
IBO – 24 months (2 years) manufacturer's warranty. Warranty and post-warranty service provided by Dambat.
