The wet end alone — the stack of impellers and diffusers that actually moves the water — built to NEMA dimensional standards so it threads onto your existing motor. When a megohm test says the motor is healthy, a new pump end puts the well back in service for a fraction of complete-pump cost. Seven 4" series from silicon bronze to all-stainless plus 6", 8", and 10" ends to 1,100 GPM for municipal and irrigation service.
Match by construction material, flow class, and the motor you're pairing it with. All 4" ends share Baker's core architecture — discharge head with built-in check valve, suction screen, cable guard, NEMA-standard motor face.
Five concepts turn a pump end catalog from confusing to obvious. Master these and you can read any model number and match any motor.
One proven hydraulic platform, seven material builds. Pick by water chemistry, service-life expectations, and the motor horsepower you're pairing.
Silicon bronze discharge casting and motor bracket around a polished stainless shell — bronze toughness exactly where the pump end takes its mechanical stress when setting, pulling, and threading pipe. Glass bead acetal impellers ride polycarbonate diffusers with the captured-stack sand notches, on a 7/16" 300-series stainless hex shaft individually checked for straightness. Flow classes 5 through 25 GPM, matched to motors from 1/2 to 5 HP.
The value pair: reinforced thermoplastic brackets and discharge with stainless shell and shaft underneath. The 22000 matches motors from 1/2 to 1 1/2 HP — the classic budget residential swap. The 25000 runs the same construction philosophy with reach to 2 HP, the answer when the well needs a half-horsepower more than the 22000 offers without stepping up to stainless pricing.
The 23000 is the service-oriented stainless build: heavy shell threaded at both ends, easy-wrench stainless discharge with built-in safety eye, and the Diamond Design easy-out check valve — everything aimed at a pump end you can open in the field. The 24000 is the volume stainless platform, the most common like-for-like replacement in the catalog. Both run 5–25 GPM classes against motors from 1/2 to 5 HP.
The only Baker series where the hydraulics themselves are stainless: high-efficiency stainless steel impellers and diffusers, a 431 stainless shaft, 304 stainless on every other metal part, stainless suction screen, and a stainless discharge head with built-in check valve. Flow classes at 5, 10, 18, 25, 40, and 70 GPM against motors from 1/2 to 10 HP. Rated for clean, non-corrosive, non-abrasive liquids to 140°F — this is the corrosion answer, not the sand answer.
Stainless hydraulics earn their premium in corrosive water. In sandy wells the polymer captured-stack lines (21000–24000) are the engineered answer — their diffuser sand notches move abrasives through the stack. Buying the flagship for the wrong failure mode buys nothing.
Flow behavior carries with the GPM letter. If the old model number reads 24075K3, a K-class replacement end preserves the system's flow characteristics — then confirm the stage count and HP requirement against your existing motor before ordering.
Five rated classes — R-35, G-40, S-55, Q-60, and T-80 GPM — move the 4" platform into serious flow on a 2" NPT stainless discharge casting with built-in stainless check valve. Construction steps up to stainless steel bowls with Noryl impellers, stainless shell, shaft, screen, and cable guard, and a stainless motor bracket to NEMA dimensional standards. Motor matches run 1 through 10 HP depending on class and stage count.
High Flow ends staged for 7 1/2 and 10 HP pair with three-phase motors — which means a starter kit (or an AutoDRIVE through 5 HP) joins the bill of materials. See our Baker Submersible Motors and Starter Kit & AutoDRIVE collections for the matching halves, or send the duty point and we'll quote the set.
Nine big-bore ends from 90 to 1,100 GPM — 304 stainless steel construction with 431 stainless pump shafts, listed to NSF/ANSI 61 for potable water supply, and paired with three-phase motors from 3 to 250 HP.

Above 4", selection runs through duty-point review — flow, total dynamic head, well casing ID, water chemistry, and available power — with stage counts confirmed against manufacturer curves before anything is committed. Send well data with the RFQ and we coordinate the selection with Baker application engineering, including submittal documentation for engineer-of-record review.

Pump end + Baker motor + control is how custom three-phase and VFD systems get built — the LB (less box) and LS (less starter) pump suffixes exist for exactly this. See our Baker Submersible Motors, Control Box, and Starter Kit & AutoDRIVE collections for the other halves, or send the duty point and we'll quote the complete set.
Baker complete submersible pumps ship with the motor, leads, and control already matched — the right call when the existing motor's condition is unknown. This collection is the repair-and-build side of the catalog.
Send the motor nameplate and your existing pump's model number. We confirm the flow class, stage count, HP match, and fit — same day, before anything ships.
