Reliable water pressure is essential for comfortable modern living, and the Lowara 3HM03P-PT8 ensures it is delivered consistently. This packaged system combines a horizontal multistage pump with an 8-litre APT pressure vessel, providing stable pressure for domestic supply, garden watering, and light commercial transfer applications in buildings where installation space is limited.
Constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel with Noryl™ impellers, the pump generates a maximum head of approximately 31.2 metres and a maximum flow rate of 70 litres per minute. The 0.5 kW motor runs on a single-phase 220–240 V supply with a rated current of 2.9 Amps. Suction and discharge ports are threaded Rp 25 mm. The pump handles clean liquids at temperatures up to 60°C.
The 8-litre pressure vessel dampens pressure fluctuations and reduces motor cycling. The mechanical seal is ceramic, carbon, and EPDM. The motor is protected to IP55 and insulated to Class F. Automatic reset thermal protection is included as standard. The horizontal close-coupled configuration is designed for floor mounting in equipment rooms or utility areas with adequate clearance for maintenance access.
Electrical connections are made through a pre-wired terminal junction box. The pump is certified for drinking water use under WRAS and ACS. The compact footprint suits installations where space is at a premium, including small plant rooms and domestic cupboards. The unit is supplied as a complete package requiring only plumbing and electrical connections to commission.
