Davey Submersible (In the tank) pump with Rainbank
Features and Benefits.
Water Saving
RainBank allows households in metropolitan and regional areas to replace up to 40% of their drinking-quality water usage with rainwater.
Seamless and Convenient
RainBank does the thinking for you by automatically switching the water source from the domestic mains to the rainwater supply stored in the tank whenever a toilet is flushed or a washing machine used. If the rainwater supply is depleted at any time or in the case of a power failure, RainBank automatically supplies mains water as the backup.
Environmentally Friendly
RainBank only operates the pump to pressurise the rainwater when required. Energy costs are saved as there is no double-handling or re-pressurising of the mains water. Daily power consumption figures for a pump and RainBank system supplyng toilet cisterns in a three-person dwelling are the equivalent to the operation of:
- A reverse-cycle 2400W air-conditioner for 3 minutes a day
- A 2400W clothes-dryer for 3 minutes a day
- A 700W vacuum cleaner for 10 minutes a day
- A 600W washing machine for 11 minutes a day
- A 270W TV or computer for 30 minutes a day
RainBank also has a built-in backflow protection valve to ensure that there is no risk of backflow from the rainwater storage tank into the mains system, thereby preventing contamination of the mains water supply.
Easy to Install
RainBank can be incorporated into the design of a new home or retrofitted to existing properties. It is easy to install as either a complete system of pump and controller, or as a controller added to an existing pressure pump and tank installation. It is normally mounted on top of the pump; however, its design also allows remote mounting onto a wall or other nearby location.
Safe
RainBank has achieved the requirements of Standards Australia's Technical Specification ATS 5200.466-2004 for rainwater tank connection devices. RainBank also complies with AS4020 and features Water Mark approval for connection to a drinking-water supply.
