Product Overview
Where high flow, larger pressure storage, and corrosion resistance are required, the Lowara 5HM06S-PT18 combines the 41.5-metre pump with stainless steel hydraulics and an 18-litre APT pressure vessel. This packaged system is intended for residential and light commercial installations where reduced pump cycling is desirable.
The AISI 304 stainless steel pump body and impellers deliver a maximum head of approximately 41.5 metres and a maximum flow rate of 142 litres per minute. The 0.75 kW motor operates on 220-240 V single-phase, drawing 4.8 Amps. Suction is Rp 32 mm and discharge is Rp 25 mm. The pump handles clean liquids up to 60°C.
The 18-litre pressure vessel provides additional water storage, reducing pump starts during low-demand operation. The mechanical seal is ceramic, carbon, and EPDM. The motor is rated IP55 with Class F insulation. Thermal protection is provided by an automatic reset overload device. The horizontal configuration is designed for floor mounting.
Installation requires a level, frost-protected surface with adequate ventilation. The pre-wired terminal junction box simplifies electrical connection. The pump is certified for drinking water use under WRAS and ACS. The stainless steel hydraulic components and larger pressure vessel make this variant suited to demanding residential applications.

Is the Lowara 5HM06S-PT18 strong enough for a multi-story home?
Yes, it's ideal for multi-story houses. It pushes water up easily to top-floor bathrooms and showers while keeping pressure steady when several taps are turned on at once.
Why does the Lowara 5HM06S-PT18 come with an 18-litre pressure tank?
The 18L tank keeps water pressurized so the pump doesn't have to kick on every time you turn on a tap to rinse your hands. It stops the motor from constantly clicking on and off, which cuts down your power bill and keeps the pump running smoothly for years.
Does the Lowara 5HM06S PT18 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.
Is the Lowara 5HM06S/PT18 motor safe to install outside in the weather?
Yes, it is. The 0.75 kW motor has an IP55 weatherproof casing, so it handles rain, dust, and outdoor conditions with no trouble. It plugs into standard home power and includes built-in thermal overload protection.
