DXB Solutions LLC supplies the Lowara BGM11 self-priming pump in UAE for water distribution, pressure boosting, irrigation, rainwater collection, washing systems and suitable residential, commercial and light-industrial water applications.
The Lowara BGM11 belongs to the Lowara BG range of close-coupled self-priming centrifugal pumps. The BGM designation identifies the single-phase version, providing a compact pumping solution for installations requiring self-priming operation.
Lowara BGM11 Self-Priming Centrifugal Pump
The Lowara BGM11 uses the BG Series’ built-in ejector arrangement to provide self-priming capability.
After the pump casing has been correctly filled with water, the pump can evacuate air from a properly installed suction line and establish water flow. This makes the BGM11 suitable for applications where the pump is installed above the water source.
The BG range is designed for applications such as water distribution, pressure boosting, irrigation, washing and rainwater collection.
Lowara BGM11 Performance
The BGM11 sits toward the upper end of the Lowara BG range and is suitable where a higher hydraulic duty is required compared with smaller BG/BGM models.
The correct operating point is determined by:
Required Flow Rate (m³/h) + Total Dynamic Head (m)
For example, a customer asking only for a 1.5 HP pump has not provided enough information for proper selection. The required flow, pressure, suction conditions and piping arrangement should also be established.
Lowara BGM11 for Pressure Boosting
The Lowara BGM11 can be used in suitable pressure-boosting applications where its hydraulic performance matches the required system duty.
A typical automatic arrangement can include:
Water Source → Lowara BGM11 → Non-Return Valve → Pressure Vessel/Controls → Water Distribution
The final arrangement depends on the specific installation and control system.
Applications can include smaller residential and commercial water-distribution systems where the required flow and pressure fall within the BGM11 performance envelope.
Lowara BGM11 for Irrigation
The self-priming design also makes the Lowara BGM11 useful for selected irrigation and landscaping applications.
Pump selection should consider:
Suction Lift + Elevation + Pipe Friction Loss + Required Outlet Pressure = Total Dynamic Head
The calculated duty point should then be checked against the BGM11 performance curve.
Lowara BGM11 for Water Transfer
The BGM11 can be considered for compatible clean-water applications including:
- Water tank transfer
- Irrigation
- Rainwater collection
- Water distribution
- Washing systems
- Residential water supply
- Commercial water transfer
- General clean-water pumping
The suction line should be properly sized and airtight for reliable self-priming operation.
Lowara BGM11 Stainless Steel Construction
The Lowara BG family makes extensive use of pressed stainless-steel construction, providing a compact and corrosion-resistant solution for compatible water applications.
Stainless-steel construction should not, however, be interpreted as universal chemical or seawater compatibility. The actual pumped liquid and water chemistry should be checked against the manufacturer’s material specifications.
Lowara BGM11 Suction Lift
The BG Series technical data specifies a maximum total lift of 8 metres under defined conditions.
For the DXB Solutions page, avoid writing:
“Lowara BGM11 guaranteed 8-metre suction.”
Actual suction performance depends on factors including suction-pipe length and diameter, elevation, water temperature, fittings, foot valve condition and air leakage.
For reliable operation, keep the suction piping as short as practical, correctly sized and airtight.
Lowara BGM11 Applications
The Lowara BGM11 can be considered for suitable:
Water Distribution • Pressure Boosting • Irrigation • Rainwater Collection • Washing Systems • Residential Water Supply • Commercial Water Transfer
The pump should always be selected according to the actual operating duty rather than motor power alone.
