Product Overview
The Lowara 5HM04S-APC15 combines the 27.2-metre high-flow pump with stainless steel hydraulics and an APC15 electronic pressure controller. This configuration is suited to applications requiring automated pump control without a separate pressure vessel. The controller responds to system pressure, starting and stopping the pump as demand changes.
The AISI 304 stainless steel pump body and impellers deliver a maximum head of approximately 27.2 metres and a maximum flow rate of 142 litres per minute. The 0.5 kW motor operates on 220-240 V single-phase, drawing 3.18 Amps. Suction is Rp 32 mm and discharge is Rp 25 mm. The pump handles clean liquids up to 60°C.
The APC15 controller provides automatic pump start-stop based on system pressure. 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 unit is designed for floor mounting.
Electrical connections are made through a pre-wired terminal junction box. The pump is certified for drinking water use under WRAS and ACS. The stainless steel hydraulic components make this variant suitable for applications where corrosion resistance is required. The controller enables automated operation without a separate pressure vessel.

Will the Lowara 5HM04S-APC15 burn out if my rainwater tank runs dry?
No, it won't. The fitted APC15 automatic pressure controller monitors water supply constantly. If your tank runs completely dry, the controller instantly shuts off the pump so the motor doesn't run dry or overheat.
What materials is the Lowara 5HM04S_APC15 made from and can it handle warm water?
It's built with a 304 stainless steel body and stainless steel impellers, so it won't rust or corrode over time. It easily handles clean water at temperatures up to 60°C.
How much water flow and pressure can I get from the Lowara 5HM04S APC15?
You get up to 142 litres per minute of water flow and a max pressure head of 27.2 metres. That's plenty of punch to run multiple showers, taps, or garden hoses at the same time without annoying pressure drops.
Does the Lowara 5HM04S APC15 require a lot of ongoing maintenance?
Not at all. It's designed for hassle-free daily operation with long-life sealed bearings and heavy-duty mechanical shaft seals. Just keep your water inlet strainer clear and it'll run reliably for years.
