IMPoRtAnt:
• RainBank
®
must be installed and serviced by a licensed plumber.
• Check with your local water authority on water restrictions when your
rainwater tank is connected to mains water.
• Do not enter a empty rainwater tank - they may contain hazardous gases.
• Before installing RainBank
®
please read all instructions carefully as failures
caused by incorrect installation are not covered under warranty.
• If you are in doubt about any aspect of your RainBank
®
kit’s suitability,
check with your Davey dealer. For help in locating your closet dealer call the
appropriate Davey Customer Service Centre listed on the back of this booklet.
• RainBank
®
is designed to handle clean rainwater and mains water. It should
not be used to interconnect as part of a bore water, dam water, grey water,
stormwater or recycled water system.
• The pumping of abrasive materials will damage the system and void the
warranty.
• Mains electrical connections and checks must be made by a qualified
electrician and comply with applicable local standards. The 12 volt
connections need not be carried out by a qualified electrician, but should be
done in compliance with applicable standards.
• Secure all openings to the rainwater tank and make sure the wiring, plumbing
and the RainBank
®
unit are protected from access by children and pets.
• Water freezing inside the RainBank
®
will damage the unit. Locate your
RainBank
®
and pump so that they are not susceptible to freezing.
• Some insects such as small ants find electrical devices attractive for various
reasons. If your controller or pump is susceptible to insect infestation you
should implement a suitable pest control plan.
• Over time the relevant position of the home or RainBank
®
and the rainwater
tank may change slightly. In order to reduce the stresses on pipework
such movement may result in, it is recommended that a length of flexible
pipework from pump to RainBank
®
be installed. This pipework can be
a braided hose or polythene pipe or similar.
• Limit mains water pressure to 900kPa.
• Under Australian Standard 3500 collecting/storing rainwater in a buried tank
is considered a medium level hazard. Even though RainBank
®
has a built-in
dual check back flow valve, you may be required to fit additional backflow
protection valves to satisfy this requirement – check with your local council as
to their guidelines on rainwater tank installation and backflow prevention.
