Flygt BS 2125.181 – 13 HP 2-Stage High Head Dewatering Pump
If you need to lift water from a deep pit or push it through a long hose without moving to a much bigger pump, the Flygt BS 2125.181 is built for exactly that job. This imported 13 HP (9.7 kW) submersible dewatering pump uses a 2-stage hydraulic end to reach heads of up to 75 m, with flow of up to 72,000 LPH at low head. It is supplied by Standard Machinery in Imported, Refurbished & Tested condition.
This unit is supplied with a bare bolt-on discharge port: a four-bolt flange face on the pump body. That gives you the freedom to fit the outlet your site actually uses, whether that is an upward elbow, a straight hose adapter, a flange adapter or a non-return valve.

How a 2-Stage Pump Helps You
A single-stage pump of the same size runs out of pressure quickly as the lift gets higher. The 2125.181 has two impeller stages in series, so the second stage builds on the pressure of the first. In practice, this means a 13 HP pump that can handle deep shafts, tall lifts and long discharge lines, while staying light enough to be lowered by a small chain hoist.

Voltage & Power Note
The pump runs on 3 phase, 380–440 V. Flygt's published data for the 2125.181 is for 60 Hz. On a 50 Hz supply, such as Indian 415 V, 50 Hz, it runs about 17% slower; by the pump affinity laws, maximum head drops to roughly 52 m and maximum flow to roughly 60,000 LPH. A VFD set to 60 Hz output restores full performance. Protect the motor with overload, phase-failure and earth protection, and keep starts within 15 per hour.
Safety Note
- This refurbished unit is not offered as explosion-proof and must not be used in hazardous areas
- For water, including water with sand, silt and abrasives; not for oil, fuel, solvents or flammable liquids
- Maximum immersion depth 20 m; maximum liquid temperature 40 °C
- Fit a suitable outlet fitting and gasket before running; never run with an open, unsecured port
- Lift only by the lifting bail, never by the cable or hose
- Always connect the earth conductor
Maintenance Tips
- Check the seal chamber oil regularly; water in the oil means seal wear
- Watch for a drop in head or flow, which usually signals impeller or wear-part wear
- Clean the strainer after each job in muddy water
- Check the outlet fitting bolts and gasket for leaks
- Test motor insulation resistance before each new installation
- Flush with clean water after pumping abrasive slurry
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Flygt BS 2125 the same as the 2125.181?
Yes. The 2125.181 is the product code of the Flygt 2125 high head dewatering pump, which Flygt also lists as BS 2125. It is the 3 inch, 2-stage, high head version.
Does this pump come with a discharge elbow?
No. This unit has a bare four-bolt discharge port, so you can fit the elbow, hose adapter, flange adapter or valve that suits your site. We also have a version with an elbow fitted; ask us for details.
What head and flow will I get?
It is rated for up to 75 m head and up to 72,000 LPH. The two maximums occur at different points on the pump curve; the actual output depends on your lift height and hose length.
Will it run on Indian 50 Hz power?
Yes, on 3 phase supply. As Flygt's data for this model is 60 Hz, it runs about 17% slower on 50 Hz. Use a VFD at 60 Hz output for full performance.
How deep can it be lowered?
Up to 20 m below the water surface.
Can you ship it outside India?
Yes. Standard Machinery exports to Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Contact us for export packing and shipping details.
