This packaged unit is intended for residential applications requiring suction lift, higher head capability, and increased pressure storage for domestic water supply, rainwater harvesting, and garden irrigation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe AISI 304 stainless steel pump body delivers a maximum head of 49.6 metres and a maximum flow rate of 70 litres per minute. The 0.9 kW motor operates on 240 V single-phase, drawing 4.71 Amps. Suction is Rp 32 mm and discharge is Rp 25 mm. The pump handles clean liquids up 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 APT pressure vessel provides additional water storage, reducing pump starts during low-demand operation. The motor enclosure is IP55 with Class F insulation, and thermal overload protection is incorporated with automatic reset.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe unit is designed for surface-mounted installation and is not intended for submerged operation. Electrical connections are made through a pre-wired terminal junction box.
