Thumba 6HP Standard RainGun Pump

1. 6HP Standard Centrifugal Pump

For farms with a ground-level water tank, sump or shallow open well (within 40ft). This model delivers the highest discharge in the 6HP range — 600 LPM — and can run 3 standard rain guns simultaneously. It can also run a single large Tublex 2-inch rain gun with a 170-foot diameter throw, ideal for large open field irrigation.

Technical Specifications:
1.Power:6 HP / 4.4 kW
2.Operating Voltage:Three Phase 320–475V AC
3.Maximum Discharge:600 LPM
4.Maximum Pressure:3.2 kg/cm²
5.Head Range:17–30 metres
6.Rain Gun (1.25") Runs:3 nos — each 120 ft diameter
7.Sprinkler (3/4") Runs:14 nos — each 80 ft diameter
8.Tublex Rain Gun (2") Runs:1 no — 170 ft diameter
9.Suitable Water Source Depth:Ground level to 40 ft (open well / sump)
10.Time to Wet 3-inch Depth:1.5 hours
11.Power Consumption:4 units/hour

2. 6HP Vertical Multi-Stage Pump

When your open well or bore well is between 40–50ft deep, the standard centrifugal pump loses pressure. The vertical multi-stage design builds pressure across 6 impeller stages, delivering 450 LPM at 4 kg/cm² — enough to run 2 rain guns reliably from a medium-depth well.

Technical Specifications:
1.Power:6 HP / 4.4 kW — 6 Stages
2.Operating Voltage:Three Phase 350–475V AC
3.Maximum Discharge:450 LPM
4.Maximum Pressure:4.0 kg/cm²
5.Head Range:25–40 metres
6.Rain Gun (1.25") Runs:2 nos — each 120 ft diameter
7.Sprinkler (3/4") Runs:12 nos — each 80 ft diameter
8.Suitable Water Source Depth:40–50 ft (open well / bore well)
9.Time to Wet 3-inch Depth:1.5 hours
10.Power Consumption:4 units/hour
Thumba 6HP Multi-stage RainGun Pump

Thumba 7.5HP Multi-stage RainGun Pump

3. 7.5HP Vertical Multi-Stage Pump

The most capable model for deep open wells (40–60ft). Delivers 600 LPM at 5 kg/cm² — enough for 3 standard rain guns simultaneously, or a single large gun with a 100-foot throw radius. For wells deeper than 70ft, contact us for a custom system design.

Technical Specifications:
1.Power:7.5 HP / 5.5 kW — 6 Stages
2.Operating Voltage:Three Phase 350–475V AC
3.Maximum Discharge:600 LPM
4.Maximum Pressure:5.0 kg/cm²
5.Head Range:35–45 metres
6.Rain Gun (1.25") Runs:3 nos — each 120 ft diameter
7.Sprinkler (3/4") Runs:15 nos — each 80 ft diameter
8.Suitable Water Source Depth:40–60 ft (open well / bore well)
9.Time to Wet 3-inch Depth:1.5 hours
10.Power Consumption:5.5 units/hour

4. 10HP Vertical Multi-Stage Pump

For deep bore wells 150–300ft deep where standard pumps cannot generate sufficient lift pressure. The 10HP multi-stage design achieves 10–15 kg/cm² — the highest pressure in our RainGun range — delivering reliable flow to 2 rain guns even from very deep water sources.

Technical Specifications:
1.Power:10 HP / 7.5 kW — 10 & 16 Stages
2.Operating Voltage:Three Phase 350–475V AC
3.Maximum Discharge:300–400 LPM
4.Maximum Pressure:10–15 kg/cm²
5.Head Range:100–150 metres
6.Rain Gun (1.25") Runs:2 nos — each 120 ft diameter
7.Sprinkler (3/4") Runs:10 nos — each 80 ft diameter
8.Suitable Water Source Depth:150–300 ft (bore well)
9.Time to Wet 3-inch Depth:1.5 hours
10.Power Consumption:7.5 units/hour
Thumba 10HP Multi-stage RainGun Pump

Why Thumba pumps for RainGun systems?

Standard market pumps are not built for the sustained high-pressure demand of RainGun operation. Thumba's pump sets are purpose-designed for RainGun field conditions — the same design, over 20 years of proven performance across Tamil Nadu and beyond. An off-the-shelf pump will underperform on throw radius, wear faster, and often fail under continuous use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What HP pump do I need for RainGun irrigation on 3 to 5 acres?

For 3–5 acres, a 6HP or 7.5HP three-phase motor is the right choice. The 6HP standard model runs 3 rain guns covering about 3 acres per cycle. The 7.5HP multi-stage model runs 3 guns with higher pressure for deeper water sources.

What is the difference between a standard pump and a multi-stage pump for RainGun?

A standard centrifugal pump is ideal for shallow water sources (ground level to 40ft). A vertical multi-stage pump builds pressure across multiple impeller stages, making it suitable for deeper open wells and bore wells (40–300ft). For RainGun operation, you need consistent high pressure — so the right pump type depends entirely on your water source depth.

Can a 6HP motor run 3 rain guns simultaneously?

Yes — the 6HP standard centrifugal model delivers 600 LPM at 3.2 kg/cm², which is sufficient to run 3 standard 1.25-inch rain guns simultaneously, each covering a 120-foot diameter. For deeper water sources above 40ft, use the 6HP multi-stage model which runs 2 guns at higher pressure.

What water source depth suits the 6HP to 10HP range?

The 6HP standard model suits ground-level tanks or wells up to 40ft. The 6HP and 7.5HP multi-stage models work for wells 40–60ft deep. The 10HP multi-stage model is designed for deep bore wells 150–300ft. Share your well depth with us and we'll recommend the exact model.

What is the price of a 6HP or 7.5HP RainGun pump set?

6HP and 7.5HP RainGun pump sets typically range from ₹45,000 to ₹90,000 depending on the model type (standard vs multi-stage), pipe length and number of rain guns. The 10HP multi-stage system for deep bore wells starts from ₹90,000. Contact us for a site-specific quote.

Can these pumps work for bore wells deeper than 100 feet?

Yes — the 10HP vertical multi-stage pump is specifically designed for bore wells 150–300ft deep. It develops 10–15 kg/cm² pressure and 300–400 LPM discharge, running 2 rain guns at 120-foot diameter coverage.
