Product Overview
Automatic tank replenishment and irrigation supply are handled by the Lowara 8SC3/09CG20. This high-flow multi-stage submersible pump features an integrated float switch for residential and light commercial water transfer from boreholes, tanks and reservoirs with its 6-inch design.
A 0.9 kW 240V single-phase motor draws 5.66 Amps and delivers a maximum head of 27.8 metres and a flow of 180 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 15.5 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.
