Pumps are often one of the largest energy users in water and building services systems, particularly when they operate away from their ideal duty point. Lowara smart pump systems and Hydrovar X are designed to improve efficiency by matching pump performance to real system demand.

Combining high-efficiency hydraulics, IE5 motor technology and integrated variable speed control, the Lowara e-SM Smart Pump range and Lowara e-SV Series with Hydrovar X help reduce energy use, simplify control and support reliable pressure performance.

Commonly used in pressure boosting, water supply, HVAC and clean-water transfer applications, these systems are suited to commercial, building services, infrastructure and municipal applications where reliability, efficiency and lifecycle cost are key considerations.

Whether for a compact smart pump package or a larger vertical multistage pump system, Lowara and Hydrovar X provides flexible options for improving pumping efficiency and control.

Lowara e-SM Series Smart Pump Range

The Lowara e-SM Smart Pump range combines high-efficiency Lowara hydraulics, an IE5 permanent magnet motor and an integrated variable speed drive in one compact, pre-programmed pumping package. Designed to “plug and play” in both new and retrofit applications, the range helps simplify commissioning, optimise pump performance and reduce energy use.

Key Features:

• High-efficiency performance: IE5 ultra-premium efficiency motor with IES2 pump-and-drive rating, helping reduce operating costs compared with standard non-VSD pump systems.
• Integrated variable speed drive: Built-in drive adjusts pump speed to match system demand, reducing unnecessary energy use.
• Simpler installation: Pre-programmed package reduces the need for separate external controls in many applications.
• Multi-pump capability: Can operate single, twin or multi-pump systems of up to three pumps.
• System communication: BACnet and Modbus capability allow connection with building management systems.
• Pump protection: Includes protection against dry running, water failure, over-temperature, and under/over-voltage conditions.

The Lowara e-SM Smart Pump range is available in vertical and horizontal multistage configurations, including e-SVE stainless steel vertical multistage pumps and e-HME stainless steel horizontal multistage pumps. These options support a range of pressure boosting, water supply, HVAC and clean-water transfer applications.

Lowara e-SV Series with Hydrovar X

For larger vertical multistage pump applications, the Lowara e-SV Series with Hydrovar X combines the proven performance of Lowara’s stainless steel vertical multistage pump with an integrated IE5 motor and variable speed drive solution. Supplied as a complete unit, the package is designed to deliver high-efficiency pump control, simplified installation and reliable pressure performance in variable-demand applications.

By automatically adjusting pump speed to match system requirements, Hydrovar X helps reduce energy use, maintain stable pressure and extend pump system life - making it well suited to water supply, pressure boosting, HVAC and other clean-water applications.

Key Features:

• High-efficiency performance: IE5 motor technology and integrated variable speed control help optimise energy use and reduce operating costs.
• Flexible application range: Available in three-phase power from 2.2 kW to 22 kW for a wide range of pump applications.
• Simple commissioning: Built-in setup Genie and application software simplify programming, commissioning and operation.
• Integrated protection: Built-in safety functions help protect both pump and motor for long-term reliability.
• Multi-pump capability: Supports up to eight pumps with no single point of failure, helping maintain continuous operation.
• Smart connectivity: Backlit graphic display, Modbus, BACnet and Bluetooth connectivity support monitoring, remote access and system integration.
• Quick installation: Easy-access wiring chamber allows fast connection to terminals.
• Enhanced control option: Hydrovar X+ offers extended I/O options for more advanced control requirements.
