This packaged unit is intended for residential applications requiring suction lift, higher head capability, and stable pressure 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 8-litre APT pressure vessel stores water under pressure to reduce pump cycling during low-demand periods. 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 supplied with a pre-wired terminal junction box. The pump is designed for surface-mounted installation and is not intended for submerged operation. The system is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 10 bar and should be installed in a frost-protected, well-ventilated location with adequate maintenance access.\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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-litre APT pressure vessel reduces pump cycling during low-demand periods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.9 kW motor provides higher head and flow capability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRp 32 mm suction and Rp 25 mm discharge connections for standard plumbing integration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP55 motor enclosure protects against dust and moisture ingress.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAISI 304 stainless steel pump body provides corrosion resistance.\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":51073935048951,"sku":"BGM9PT8","price":1547.1,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/0116\/3767\/files\/lowara-bgm9-pt8-stainless-steel-self-priming-jet-pump-rainwater-collection-8-litre-tank.png?v=1787830699","url":"https:\/\/foundationpumps.com.au\/products\/lowara-bgm9-pt8-stainless-steel-self-priming-jet-pump-rainwater-collection-8-litre-tank","provider":"Foundation Pumps","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
