Product Overview
Large-scale rainwater harvesting and high-volume water supply from boreholes, tanks and reservoirs are the domain of the Lowara 5SC8/15CL20. Its 6-inch design and 32 mm discharge connection make it suitable for commercial irrigation, pressure boosting and water transfer duties.
Weighing 20.5 kg, the pump handles suspended sand up to 25 g/m³ and passes solids up to 2 mm. A 1.5 kW 240V single-phase motor draws 9.0 Amps and delivers a maximum head of 77 metres and a flow of 120 L/min through a 32 mm outlet.
AISI 304 stainless steel construction with technopolymer impellers and stainless steel diffusers provides corrosion resistance and reliable hydraulic performance. The compact design and decentered discharge manifold make it suitable for restricted installation spaces.
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.
