High-volume water supply from storage tanks and reservoirs for irrigation, rainwater harvesting and pressure boosting is delivered by the Lowara 8SC3/09CL20. Its 6-inch design and 32 mm discharge connection make it suitable for residential and light commercial use.
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. Weighing 15.5 kg, the pump is suitable for standard 6-inch boreholes and water temperatures up to 40°C.
AISI 304 stainless steel construction with technopolymer impellers and stainless steel diffusers provides corrosion resistance and reliable hydraulic performance. The pump handles suspended sand up to 25 g/m³ and passes solids up to 2 mm.
Class F insulation and a double mechanical seal with oil chamber protect the motor, with a silicon carbide external face resisting abrasion. The close-coupled design allows for efficient operation at depths up to 17 metres. A 20 metre cable, capacitor and automatic reset thermal overload protection are included.
