Delivering consistent water pressure across multiple outlets is a common challenge in residential and light commercial settings. The Lowara 3HM04P-PT8 addresses this with a complete packaged system combining a robust multistage pump with an 8-litre APT pressure vessel, ensuring stable flow for domestic distribution, garden irrigation, and small commercial installations where mains pressure is variable.
The pump body is constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel, with Noryl™ impellers optimised for clean-water handling. Performance reaches a maximum head of approximately 40.3 metres and a maximum flow rate of 70 litres per minute. The 0.5 kW motor operates on 220–240 V single-phase, drawing 3.34 Amps at rated conditions. Connections are threaded Rp 25 mm. The pump is rated for liquids up to 60°C.
An 8-litre APT pressure vessel is integrated to reduce pump cycling and maintain pressure stability during low-demand periods. The mechanical seal is a ceramic, carbon, and EPDM assembly. The motor enclosure is IP55, with Class F insulation. Thermal protection is provided by an automatic reset overload device. The horizontal close-coupled configuration simplifies installation in confined equipment spaces.
The unit is floor-mounted and supplied with a pre-wired terminal junction box. The pump is certified for drinking water use under WRAS and ACS. The system is intended for clean water applications and should be installed in a well-ventilated, frost-protected location. The compact assembly minimises the required installation footprint.
