This packaged system is intended for residential applications with significant water demand where reduced pump cycling is desirable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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 4.38 Amps at 220 V and 4.27 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 18-litre pressure vessel provides additional water storage, reducing pump starts during low-demand operation. The motor is rated IP55 with Class F insulation, and thermal protection is provided by an automatic reset overload device.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation 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 larger pressure vessel makes this variant suitable for systems with intermittent water use patterns.\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\u003e0.75 kW motor provides higher head capability for demanding installations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRp 32 mm suction and Rp 25 mm discharge connections for standard plumbing integration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18-litre APT pressure vessel provides increased water storage for reduced cycling.\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\u003eAutomatic reset thermal protection incorporated into the motor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Lowara","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51073937408247,"sku":"BGM5PT18","price":1790.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/0116\/3767\/files\/lowara-bgm5-pt18-stainless-steel-self-priming-jet-pump-irrigation-18-litre-tank.png?v=1787830706","url":"https:\/\/foundationpumps.com.au\/products\/lowara-bgm5-pt18-stainless-steel-self-priming-jet-pump-irrigation-18-litre-tank","provider":"Foundation Pumps","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
