Product Overview
When flow capacity is the primary consideration, the Lowara 5HM03P-PT8 delivers exceptional volume. This packaged system combines a higher-flow multistage pump with an 8-litre APT pressure vessel, making it ideal for larger domestic water distribution, commercial irrigation, and other applications where substantial water delivery is required.
The pump body is AISI 304 stainless steel with Noryl™ impellers. Maximum head is approximately 28.6 metres and maximum flow is 120 litres per minute. The 0.5 kW motor operates on 220-240 V single-phase, drawing 3.38 Amps. Suction is Rp 32 mm and discharge is Rp 25 mm. The pump handles clean liquids up to 60°C.
The 8-litre pressure vessel stores water under pressure to reduce pump cycling during low-demand periods. The mechanical seal is ceramic, carbon, and EPDM. The motor enclosure is IP55 with Class F insulation. Thermal protection is provided by an automatic reset overload device. The horizontal configuration is designed for floor mounting.
The unit is supplied with a pre-wired terminal junction box. The pump is certified for drinking water use under WRAS and ACS. Installation requires a level, frost-protected surface with adequate ventilation. The larger suction port facilitates higher flow rates in pipework systems where flow capacity is important.

Is the Lowara 5HM03P/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 5HM03P_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 5HM03P-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 5HM03P PT8?
You get up to 120 L/Min of water flow and a max pressure head of 28.6 m. That provides strong, steady tap pressure across multi-story bathrooms and garden hoses.
