Today, however, the necessary parts and tooling are available to support the D-Series centrifugal pumps.  Also, the most up-to-date support catalog information is now posted on the Franklin website for your use.

Franklin Electric, a leader in the production of ground water pumping products, has made it a priority to focus on 5 Key Factors for Success: quality, availability, service, innovation, and value. As part of the process to ensure these Key Factors are always met, Franklin continues to devote significant time and resources to the development of new products. The company’s continued success is based on driving innovation and value into all products. This is accomplished by specifically targeting development at the needs of our customers who are working to meet the ever-increasing global demand for a clean water supply.

Franklin is pleased to announce the release of the 3200 Series, a reduced diameter 4-inch submersible pump line. The 3200 Series significantly increases Franklin’s ability to cover the full range of 5 & 7 gpm clean water pumping applications. The new pump line is designed so that all parts of the pump end, including the cable guard, fall within the diameter of Franklin Electric’s industry leading submersible 4-inch motor. The reduced diameter pump end makes it ideal for installations where the well is considered encrusted or tight in comparison to a standard 4-inch well. The 3200 Series pumps also offers a hydraulics stage design that has been optimized for greater water and pressure outputs even when set at deeper well depths.

Models:                                                                                                                                                         5 gpm: ½ to 1.5 hp pump motor assemblies – ½ to 2 hp pump end only
7 gpm: ½ to 1.5 hp pump motor assemblies – ½ to 3 hp pump end only

If you have any questions regarding the new 3200 Series pump line or any of our pumping solution products, please contact Franklin Electric Customer Service at 1.800.269.0063, or Franklin Electric’s Technical Hotline at 1.800.348.2420.
