Product Overview
The Lowara BGM3 self-priming centrifugal pump is designed for rainwater collection, domestic water transfer, washing systems, and pressure boosting applications requiring dependable self-priming performance. Its close-coupled hydraulic construction with integrated ejector system assists with maintaining reliable operation across clean water installations involving dissolved gases within transferred water.
Constructed using stainless steel hydraulic components and stainless steel impeller construction, the BGM3 combines corrosion-resistant durability with efficient hydraulic performance across residential and light-duty water handling environments. The pump delivers flow rates up to 47.5 L/Min with maximum head performance up to 32.5 metres based on the highest non-zero operating point from the technical performance table. The single-phase motor operates on 240v power supply with maximum input power of 0.67 kW and rated current of 2.87A during operation.
The integrated ejector system supports dependable self-priming functionality while the externally ventilated asynchronous motor design assists with continuous clean water transfer and pressure boosting duties. The BGM3 incorporates motor type SM71BG/1055 with rated motor power (P2) of 0.55 kW and capacitor specification of 16 µF / 450 V for reliable hydraulic operation across domestic water handling systems.
The BGM3 features 32 mm inlet and 25 mm outlet connections for integration into rainwater systems, washing installations, and residential water transfer applications. Its compact hydraulic footprint and stainless steel construction assist with long-term operating durability across continuous clean water environments. Supplied with manufacturer warranty coverage for self-priming centrifugal pump applications.
