1HP, 1.5HP, or 2.0HP? How to Choose the Right LEO Borehole Pump for Your Well

Choosing the right borehole pump is the difference between a lifetime of reliable water and a system that constantly fails. At Nay Pumps, we get asked one question more than any other: "Which LEO pump do I need?"

To answer that, you need to look beyond just the price tag and understand Head (depth) and Flow Rate. Here is a breakdown of our three top-selling LEO 4XRm models.

1. LEO 1.0HP (Model: 4XRm3/12-0.75)

• Best For: Standard residential homes and small gardens.

• Max Head: 86 Meters.

• The Verdict: If your borehole is relatively shallow (under 60 meters) and you are filling a standard overhead tank, this is your most cost-effective option. It’s energy-efficient and provides plenty of pressure for domestic use.

2. LEO 1.5HP (Model: 4XRm3/17-1.1)

• Best For: Larger households, multi-story buildings, and medium-scale irrigation.

• Max Head: 122 Meters.

• The Verdict: This is our most popular "all-rounder." With 17 stages, it has the extra "push" needed for deeper wells or to move water across a larger property. It balances power and price perfectly.

3. LEO 2.0HP (Model: 4XRm3/22-1.5)

• Best For: Deep boreholes, commercial farms, and high-altitude areas.

• Max Head: 158 Meters.

• The Verdict: If you are dealing with extreme depths or need to pump water up a steep hill, don't settle for less. The 22-stage system is designed for high-performance extraction where other pumps would struggle.

Conclusion: Buying too much power wastes electricity; buying too little means no water. Not sure of your well's depth? Contact our team today for a professional consultation!
