5" SD 20-8 - submersible pump
The IBO 5" SD submersible pump is a multistage model with increased sand resistance, designed to draw and pump untreated water for single- and multi-family homes, farms, and industrial installations. Its gray cast iron casing and AISI 304 stainless steel components ensure durable operation in deep boreholes, while floating impellers reduce the effects of occasional sand in the water and extend the service life of the unit.
Who it’s for
-
Farms and horticultural operations – high hydraulic capacity helps supply irrigation systems, sprinklers, and drip lines across larger areas.
-
Multi-family buildings and facilities with high water demand – the series’ wide power range makes it easy to select a model to suit the scale of the installation.
-
Industrial plants and drainage installations – increased sand resistance is well suited to occasional sandy water and continuous operation.
-
Installers and drilling companies – the two-part design, with the motor and hydraulic section supplied separately, makes transport and installation in deep boreholes easier.
Applications
The 5" SD series is designed to draw and pump clean, untreated water from deep drilled wells for single- and multi-family homes, farms, irrigation systems, and industrial and drainage installations. Its sand-resistant design can handle water containing up to 5% sand. The pump does not treat water – if using it for other purposes, we recommend ensuring suitable water treatment.
The pumps operate vertically in wells with a minimum internal diameter of 145 mm, at a maximum pumped water temperature of 35°C. The 5" SD 400 V submersible pump works with standard pressure tanks, pressure controls, and dry-run protection selected to suit the well conditions.
5" SD series features
IBO 5" SD series pumps share a multistage design and identical construction materials across all models. Individual variants differ only in their operating point on the shared performance curve, so selecting a model comes down to matching the well parameters and water demand, without changing the installation or operating principles.
Thermal protection built into the motor winding protects the drive from overload, while oil cooling ensures stable operation in continuous-duty mode.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – IBO 5" SD submersible pump
What is the difference between the 5" SD 20 and 5" SD 32 models?
The "20" and "32" designations refer to the hydraulic performance – model 20 pumps achieve a higher head at a lower flow rate, while model 32 pumps provide a higher flow rate at a lower head. The choice depends on the well's parameters and water demand, not on build quality – both groups have identical construction and materials.
What types of installations is the 5" SD submersible pump suitable for?
The pump is suitable for drawing and pumping raw water in single- and multi-family homes, farms, irrigation systems, and industrial and drainage installations. It requires a water source with low contaminant levels – the maximum permissible sand content is 5%.
How do you choose a 5" SD series pump model for a well?
Choosing a model depends on the static and dynamic water levels, the required head, and the installation's water demand. The series includes models with different power ratings and capacities, making it possible to match the pump to both small domestic water intakes and larger agricultural or industrial installations. We encourage you to contact our technical department if you have any questions.
Can the 5" SD pump handle water containing sand?
Yes – the series has increased resistance to sand, tolerating up to 5% sand content, but regularly pumping sandy water can shorten the service life of the device and installation.
Where can you buy an IBO 5" SD submersible pump?
Dambat does not sell directly. 5" SD series pumps are available from retail partners, plumbing wholesalers, and authorized online distributors.
What warranty terms apply to the 5" SD pump?
IBO – 24 months (2 years) manufacturer's warranty. Warranty and post-warranty service is provided by Dambat.
