MAIntAInInG RAInBAnk ®
RainBank ® does not need maintenance but there are things you can do to ensure its
most reliable operation.
• Fit a “first flush” system that ensures the first run of dirty rainwater does not go
into the tank.
• Clean your gutters and first flush devices ‘Y’ strainers and filter regularly.
• Remove branches that over hang your roof.
• Have a strainer fitted to your rainwater tank inlet and regularly check this for
leaves and twigs, etc.
• You should also check for debris in the bottom of your tank a few times a year
and clean this out if necessary. A first flush system will greatly reduce the need
for this action.
! IMPoRtAnt MAIntenAnCe PReCAutIonS:
• Davey pump motors are fitted with an automatic thermal overload switch
that stops the motor if the motor gets too hot to avoid damaging it. This
automatically re-starts the motor when the temperature within the pump has
dropped to a safe level. Constant tripping of this switch indicates a problem
e.g. Low voltage at pump, etc.
• This automatic thermal overload switch can start the pump without warning.
Always disconnect the controller and/or pump motor from the electrical
supply before maintenance or repairs.
• Care should also be taken when servicing or disassembling pump to avoid
injury from hot pressurised water. Unplug the pump, relieve the pressure by
opening a tap on the discharge side of the pump and allow any hot water to
cool before attempting to dismantle.
• Do not use petroleum based fluids or solvents (e.g. oils, kerosene, turpentine,
thinners, etc on the plastic or seal components).
• Do not use hydrocarbon based or propelled sprays around the electrical
components of the controller.
• During servicing use only approved non petrochemical based o-ring and
gasket lubrication. If unsure consult your Davey dealer for advice.
