Product Overview
For automated rainwater harvesting and tank supply applications requiring higher head capability, the Lowara BGM7APC22 combines the 0.80 kW self-priming pump with an APC22 electronic pressure controller. This configuration is suited to installations with elevated distribution points where automated control is also required.
The AISI 304 stainless steel pump body delivers a maximum head of approximately 36.6 metres and a maximum flow rate of 55 litres per minute. The 0.80 kW motor operates on a 220-240 V single-phase supply with a rated current of 4.63. 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.
