Product Overview
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.

Is the Lowara 3HM04P/PT8 motor safe to install outside in the weather?
Yes, it features an IP55 weatherproof casing to handle outdoor rain and dust. It operates on 220–240V single-phase power and includes built-in thermal overload protection.
What materials is the Lowara 3HM04P_PT8 made from and can it handle warm water?
It is constructed with a corrosion-resistant 304 Stainless Steel body and impellers. It safely handles clean water at temperatures up to 60°C.
Why does the Lowara 3HM04P-PT8 come fitted with an 8-litre pressure tank?
The 8L tank keeps water pressurized so the pump doesn't have to start up every time you open a tap slightly. It stops rapid motor cycling, saving power and protecting the motor from wear.
How much water flow and head pressure can I get from the Lowara 3HM04P PT8?
You get up to 70 L/Min of water flow and a max pressure head of 40.3 m. That provides strong, steady tap pressure across multi-story bathrooms and garden hoses.
