DXB Solutions LLC supplies the Lowara BGM5 self-priming pump in UAE for water distribution, pressure boosting, irrigation, rainwater collection, washing systems and general clean-water transfer applications.
The Lowara BGM5 is a single-phase, close-coupled self-priming centrifugal pump from the Lowara BG Series. Xylem’s 50 Hz technical data specifies a 0.75 kW motor for the BGM5, with a 220–240 V single-phase electrical supply.
Lowara BGM5 Self-Priming Centrifugal Pump
The Lowara BG Series incorporates a built-in ejector system that provides self-priming capability. This makes the BGM5 suitable for applications where the pump is installed above the water source and needs to establish suction through a properly designed suction line.
The pump is particularly suited to clean-water applications requiring a compact surface-mounted pumping solution.
Lowara BGM5 for Pressure Boosting
The Lowara BGM5 can be used for suitable pressure-boosting and water-distribution applications where its hydraulic performance matches the system requirement.
When combined with appropriately selected controls and a pressure vessel, it can form part of an automatic water-pressure system.
For example, the pump may be considered for smaller water-supply systems requiring moderate flow at comparatively higher pressure, subject to the calculated duty point.
Lowara BGM5 for Irrigation
The self-priming characteristics of the BGM5 make it suitable for selected garden and irrigation applications where water needs to be drawn from a tank or another suitable source.
The required pump head should consider:
Suction lift + vertical discharge elevation + pipe friction losses + required outlet pressure
The calculated duty should then be checked against the BGM5 performance curve.
Lowara BGM5 for Water Transfer
The BGM5 can be considered for clean-water transfer applications including:
Water tanks • Irrigation systems • Rainwater collection • Washing systems • General water distribution
The suction pipe should be correctly sized and airtight. Air entering through suction-pipe joints can negatively affect self-priming and pump performance.
Lowara BGM5 Suction Performance
Xylem’s BG documentation references a maximum total lift of 8 m for the series and notes that maximum delivery depends on geodetic suction lift and installation conditions. Its published performance information references clean suction piping and a clean foot valve.
Therefore, I would not advertise “8-metre suction guaranteed” on your website.
Actual suction performance can be affected by suction-pipe length and diameter, fittings, water temperature, altitude, foot-valve condition and even small air leaks.
Lowara BGM5 Applications
The Lowara BGM5 can be considered for suitable:
Water distribution • Pressure boosting • Irrigation • Rainwater collection • Washing systems • Residential water transfer • Commercial water applications
The specific operating point and installation conditions should always be checked before final pump selection.
