Product Overview
For automated rainwater harvesting and tank supply applications, the Lowara BGM5APC22 combines the 0.75 kW self-priming pump with an APC22 electronic pressure controller. This configuration is suited to installations requiring suction lift capability and automated pump control without a separate pressure vessel.
The AISI 304 stainless steel pump body delivers a maximum head of approximately 37.1 metres and a maximum flow rate of 55 litres per minute. The 0.75 kW motor operates on a 220-240 V single-phase supply with a rated current of 3.79. Suction is Rp 32 mm and discharge is Rp 25 mm. The pump handles clean liquids from -10°C to +40°C.
The self-priming design allows the pump to draw water from sources below pump level, subject to the limits specified in the technical documentation. The APC22 controller provides automatic pump start-stop based on system pressure. The motor enclosure is IP55 with Class F insulation, and automatic reset thermal overload protection is included.
Electrical connections are made through a pre-wired terminal junction box. The pump is certified for drinking water use under WRAS and ACS. The controller enables automated operation without a separate pressure vessel. Installation requires a level, frost-protected surface with adequate ventilation.

Will the Lowara BGM5APC22 burn out if my rainwater tank runs dry?
No, it won't. The fitted APC22 electronic 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 jobs is the Lowara BGM5APC22 best at handling around the property?
It's fantastic for pumping water out of rainwater tanks, running garden sprinklers, washdown areas, and supplying clean water right into the house.
Does the Lowara BGM5APC22 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.
What materials is the Lowara BGM5APC22 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.
