Southern Cross Everflow Turbine Pumps
Spare Parts for Southern Cross Everflow Vertical Line-Shaft Turbine Pumps
Product Summary
Genuine OEM spare parts for the Southern Cross Everflow vertical line-shaft turbine pump, the multi-stage bore and well pump driven from the surface by an electric motor or right-angle gear drive, used across Australia for irrigation, stock and town water supply. Every Everflow shares the same build (collet-locked impellers in bowls, water-lubricated rubber line-shaft bearings, column pipe and a discharge head with packed gland), so tick what you need and we’ll match the parts to your pump model, such as 200F.
Spare Parts List
✓ Tick the parts you need. Everflow parts are matched to the pump model, number of stages, shaft diameter and column size (plus the pump setting depth and drive type), so the model and serial number on your nameplate are all we need to get them right. Not sure which items? Add a photo of the nameplate and we’ll work it out for you.
| Select | Wear / Service Item | Function & when to replace |
|---|---|---|
| Common Service Kits | ||
| Impeller | Lifts the water stage by stage inside each pump bowl. Replace if the vanes or skirt are worn by sand, or the skirt-to-bowl clearance has opened up beyond the Southern Cross limits. | |
| Bronze Bowl Bearing | Guides the pump shaft in each bowl. Replace when the shaft-to-bearing clearance is past the manual’s limit, or if the pump vibrates or the impellers rub. | |
| Rubber Shaft Bearing (line shaft) | Water-lubricated bearing held in the spider at each column joint. Replace if burnt from dry starts, swollen or worn oval; worn bearings let the lineshaft whip and vibrate. | |
| Shaft Packing (gland) | Packing rings that seal the head shaft where it leaves the discharge head. Renew when the gland can no longer be adjusted to a slight leak, fitting the rings with joints staggered. | |
| Thrust Bearing | Carries the weight of the shafting, impellers and water load in the motor stool. Replace if noisy, rough or running hot; never run against a shut discharge, which overloads it. | |
| Wear & Consumable Parts | ||
| Impeller Locking Collet | Tapered split collet that locks each impeller to the pump shaft. Fit new collets when impellers are changed or a collet has driven too deep into the hub. | |
| Rubber Bowl Bearing | Rubber bearing in the bowl assembly that steadies the pump shaft. Replace with the bowl bearings at a bowl overhaul or if worn by sand. | |
| Discharge Case Bearing | Top bearing of the bowl assembly, below the discharge case cap. Replace at overhaul or when shaft play is excessive. | |
| Suction Case Bearing | Bottom bearing in the suction case, grease-packed at assembly. Replace if worn or if sand has got past the sand cap. | |
| Sand Cap | Shields the suction case bearing from sand. Replace if cracked or loose on the shaft, and fit a new one with any new bottom bearing. | |
| Inlet Strainer | Screens the pump inlet against debris. Replace if holed, crushed or corroded; keep at least 1.5 m clear of the bottom of the bore. | |
| Other Core Parts | ||
| Pump Bowl | Intermediate bowl that houses each impeller stage. Replace if the bore is worn or scored by sand beyond the impeller running clearance. | |
| Pump Shaft | Carries the impellers through the bowl assembly. Replace if bent, worn at the bearings or damaged where it joins the lineshaft coupling. | |
| Lineshaft & Lineshaft Coupling | Left-hand threaded shaft lengths and couplings that drive the pump from the head. Replace bent, worn or damaged lengths; bent shafting causes vibration and rapid bearing wear. | |
| Column Pipe & Column Pipe Coupling | Carries the water to the surface and holds the bearing spiders. Replace lengths with damaged threads, corrosion or leaks, which cut flow. | |
| Shaft Bearing Spider | Holds the rubber shaft bearing centred in the column at each joint. Replace if cracked, corroded or the bearing seat is damaged. | |
| Non-Reverse Ratchet | Stops the falling water column spinning the pump backwards at shutdown, which can unscrew couplings or burn out bearings. Replace worn ratchet pins or a damaged ratchet. | |
How we confirm the exact part: Southern Cross Everflow parts depend on the pump model, number of stages, pump shaft and lineshaft diameter, column size and pump setting, plus whether the head is electric motor or right-angle gear drive. Parts are named as they appear on the Southern Cross Everflow parts identification chart; your nameplate gives the pump model (e.g. 200F) and serial number, which together pin down the build. Tick the items above and add a nameplate photo, and we’ll confirm the correct parts for your exact pump.
Models
The Everflow pump model (e.g. 250R) is on the nameplate on the discharge head; the models below are those listed in the Southern Cross Everflow manual. Select yours, or choose “Not sure”.
Models & Key Specifications
| Model | Pump shaft (mm) | Lineshaft options | Bowl bore I/D (mm) | Lateral movement (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 150R | 25.4 | 25.4 (1”) | 79.38–79.43 | 8 |
| 180R | 31.75 | 25.4 / 31.75 | 107.95–108.00 | 16 |

| 250R | 38.1 | 25.4 / 31.75 / 38.1 | 133.35–133.40 | 10 |
| 250F | 44.4 | 25.4 / 31.75 / 38.1 | 168.27–168.33 | 10 |
| 300F | 50.8 | 31.75 / 38.1 / 44.4 | 184.15–184.20 | 11 |
From the Southern Cross Everflow installation and operating instructions (impeller location, impeller setting and running clearance tables). Pump shaft is the ‘C’ diameter in the impeller location table; lineshaft options are the column shaft sizes in the impeller setting table. Stage count, column size and setting vary by installation, so we confirm them from your nameplate.
Troubleshooting
Pump shaft hard to turn
Likely cause: head shaft adjusting nut set too low, a blocked impeller or intake, dry rubber bearings, or misalignment in the pump. Action: check the impeller setting at the adjusting nut, clear the intake, pre-lubricate the line-shaft bearings and check the assembly dimensions.
No flow
Likely cause: pump running in reverse, a disconnected shaft coupling, a broken shaft, low speed, or water level too low. Action: check motor rotation (anti-clockwise from the top), reconnect or replace the shafting, and check the water level and speed.
Low flow
Likely cause: total lift too high, low speed, a blocked inlet, leaks in the column, or a partly closed valve. Action: clear the inlet strainer, check the column for leaks, open the valve and check speed and total lift.
Pump vibration
Likely cause: worn bearings, a misaligned drive coupling, the pump drawing air, or an out-of-balance motor. Action: renew the line-shaft and bowl bearings, check coupling alignment and the pipe connections, and overhaul the motor if needed.
Excessive wear
Likely cause: sand from an overpumped or poorly screened bore, bent shafting, corrosive water, misalignment or poor lubrication. Action: check the bore screening and pumping rate, replace bent shafting, and check alignment, lubrication and materials.
Excessive noise
Likely cause: faulty bearings in the motor or thrust assembly, misalignment, or poor lubrication. Action: replace the thrust or motor bearings and check alignment and lubrication.
