Congratulations on your purchase of a high quality Australian made Davey
RainBank
®
automatic water controller. RainBank
®
is patented and has been fitted to
thousands of Australian homes.
• RainBank® allows you to use water from your rainwater tank for your toilet,
washing machine or garden whenever there is water in the tank.
• If the tank water is exhausted RainBank
®
automatically and seamlessly
switches you over to mains water.
• RainBank
®
has an in-built “dual check valve” for low hazard back
flow prevention.
RainBank
®
can save up to 40% of your
home’s usage of mains water, which could be
up to 100,000 litres of water a year.
Your actual savings depend on your roof catchment area, rainfall and the size of
your tank.
RainBank
®
may allow you to claim tank rebates (when installed on existing
homes). Check with your local water authority.
In most areas of Australia, having a RainBank
®
and using rainwater for your toilet
and washing machine allows you to claim tank rebates paid by state governments
and some councils.
RainBank
®
is energy efficient and cheap to run.
Because RainBank
®
only works when it is needed it uses very little energy.
The daily power used to run a RainBank
®
and pump system supplying two toilets
in a three person dwelling is equivalent to:
• A reverse cycle air conditioner for 3 minutes
• A clothes dryer for 3 minutes
• A washing machine for 10 minutes
• A TV or PC for 30 minutes
