This packaged unit combines a centrifugal jet pump with an 8-litre APT pressure vessel, making it suitable for residential rainwater harvesting, tank supply, and garden irrigation installations where the water source is located below the pump level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AISI 304 stainless steel pump body delivers a maximum head of approximately 32.5 metres and a maximum flow rate of 47.5 litres per minute. The 0.55 kW motor operates on a 220–240 V single-phase supply with a rated current of 3.33 Amps at 220 V and 3.19 Amps at 240 V. Suction is Rp 32 mm and discharge is Rp 25 mm. The pump handles clean liquids from ?10°C to +40°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe self-priming design allows the pump to draw water from sources below pump level, subject to the limits specified in the technical documentation. The 8-litre pressure vessel reduces pump cycling during low-demand periods. The mechanical seal is ceramic, carbon, and EPDM. The motor enclosure is IP55 with Class F insulation, and automatic reset thermal overload protection is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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 compact footprint suits domestic utility areas where space is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-priming design enables operation with suction lift from below pump level.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRp 32 mm suction and Rp 25 mm discharge connections for standard plumbing integration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-litre APT pressure vessel reduces pump cycling during low-demand periods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP55 motor enclosure protects against dust and moisture ingress.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWRAS and ACS certification for drinking water use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic, carbon, and EPDM mechanical seal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic reset thermal protection safeguards the motor during operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Lowara","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51073932427511,"sku":"BGM3PT8","price":1435.65,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/0116\/3767\/files\/lowara-bgm3-pt8-stainless-steel-self-priming-jet-pump-irrigation-8-litre-tank.png?v=1787830691","url":"https:\/\/foundationpumps.com.au\/products\/lowara-bgm3-pt8-stainless-steel-self-priming-jet-pump-irrigation-8-litre-tank","provider":"Foundation Pumps","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
