Product Overview
Automatic water supply for filtration and high-pressure systems is provided by the Lowara 3SC8/11CG20. This multi-stage submersible pump features an integrated float switch for level-based operation from boreholes, tanks and reservoirs for residential and light commercial applications.
A 1.1 kW 240V single-phase motor draws 6.85 Amps and delivers a maximum head of 75.6 metres and a flow of 70 L/min through a 32 mm outlet. The float switch provides automatic operation based on water level, eliminating the need for external control equipment.
Weighing 18 kg, the pump handles suspended sand up to 25 g/m³ and passes solids up to 2 mm. AISI 304 stainless steel construction with technopolymer impellers and stainless steel diffusers provides corrosion resistance and reliable hydraulic performance.
Class F insulation and a double mechanical seal with oil chamber protect the motor, with a silicon carbide external face resisting abrasion. The pump is rated for continuous operation at depths up to 17 metres. A 20 metre cable, capacitor and automatic reset thermal overload protection are included.
