1 / 2Base-mounted variants of the SCUBA DRY family
SCUBA DRY
SCD / SCDS multistage pumps for tank and rainwater systems
In the SCUBA DRY range the model code determines the installation. SCD is a surface unit; SCDS may be installed on the surface or submerged. For tank supply, rainwater reuse or irrigation, assess the suction arrangement and minimum water level alongside the required flow and head.
Final performance and suitability are verified for the selected model and duty point.
UNDERSTAND THE APPLICATION
A solution for your application.
Application areas
Service-water supply from rainwater tanks · Pressure boosting and irrigation from a tank
Selection considerations
Establish dynamic water level, well yield and sand content. Select motor cooling, cable sizing and electrical protection as part of the complete system.
Share your operating conditions with our technical team. We can assess liquid compatibility, hydraulic duty point and installation requirements together to identify the suitable variant.

Frequently asked questions
Can every unit marked SCUBA DRY be submerged?+
No. Only SCDS permits submerged installation. SCD must be installed out of the water; use the complete nameplate code when specifying the unit.
What does the surface SCD require before initial start-up?+
The manual requires the SCD to be primed before start-up. Check the inlet pipework and commissioning procedure for the selected arrangement.
Which applications is Lowara SCUBA DRY used for?+
In the SCUBA DRY range the model code determines the installation. SCD is a surface unit; SCDS may be installed on the surface or submerged. For tank supply, rainwater reuse or irrigation, assess the suction arrangement and minimum water level alongside the required flow and head. Example applications: Service-water supply from rainwater tanks; Pressure boosting and irrigation from a tank.
What is the installation type specification for Lowara SCUBA DRY?+
Installation type: SCD: surface; SCDS: surface or submerged. Verify against the complete model code, frequency and operating conditions.
What is the maximum immersion for scds specification for Lowara SCUBA DRY?+
Maximum immersion for SCDS: 17 m. Verify against the complete model code, frequency and operating conditions.
What is the 50 hz catalogue maximum flow / head specification for Lowara SCUBA DRY?+
50 Hz catalogue maximum flow / head: 10.8 m³/h / 100 m; separate limits. Verify against the complete model code, frequency and operating conditions. Family limits may occur on different variants or at different duty points; they must not be assumed to apply simultaneously.
Which design features influence selection of Lowara SCUBA DRY?+
Different installation permissions for SCD and SCDS. Base designed for tank or surface installations. Motor cooled by the liquid flowing through the unit. Assess these features with flow, head, fluid and installation conditions.
Which selection conditions should I check for Lowara SCUBA DRY?+
Establish dynamic water level, well yield and sand content. Select motor cooling, cable sizing and electrical protection as part of the complete system.
Is well depth sufficient to select Lowara SCUBA DRY?+
No. Selection requires dynamic water level, well yield, delivery elevation and pressure, pipe losses and sand content. Installation depth is not total dynamic head. Motor cooling and minimum submergence require separate checks.
How can I access PDF documents for Lowara SCUBA DRY?+
The Technical Documents section lists 3 document links. PDFs open on the Parla site. Check model, language, 50/60 Hz and revision; document types may vary by product.
What should I include in a quotation request for Lowara SCUBA DRY?+
Share minimum, normal and maximum flow, total head, liquid and temperature, power supply, suction and installation conditions. For replacements add the nameplate, connection dimensions and measured operating values.
