other things we recommend to maximise the performance and serviceability
of your RainBank
® .
• Install cabinet on a solid, well protected wall (this will reduce noise and pipe stress).
• Fit first flush devices to all down pipes to ensure clean water inside the tank
(dirty tank water can stain toilets & clothes).
• Fit a strainer to the top of your tank inlet to stop leaves entering the system.
• Use at least 20mm or 3 ⁄4 inch plumbing to and from RainBank ® to reduce the
effect of pipe friction. Galvanised pipe not recommended.
• Clear swarf from all pipes and holes drilled into the tank (swarf can block valves,
RainBank ® and toilet valves).
• Check with local council plumbing teams for backflow requirements.
• Keep pipe work well braced as vibrations can become noisy.
• Fill rainwater tank above float switch with garden hose to check system.
• Make sure pump is full of water (primed) before leaving site. Flush all air out of
system by running pump with an outlet downstream open.
• Advise the customer to clean filters inside cabinet regularly.
• All pipe work and fittings should be labelled in accordance with local
standards such as Australian Standard AS/NZS 3500. This standard
requires that all pipework containing rainwater is marked with green
‘rainwater’ tape or stickers at 1 meter intervals and every outlet that may
deliver rainwater is to be permanently signed with ‘Rain Water’ signage or a
green tap marked ‘RW’.
• In accordance with AS/NZS 60335.2.41 we are obliged to inform you that
this controller and any pump controlled by it is not to be used by children or
infirm persons and must not be used as a toy by children.
• Davey recommends a 2mm hole in the pipe work just above the pump outlet
to clear air from the pipe work.
• There is no need for a separate float switch as this comes attached to the
submersible pump and does not plug into the RainBank® unit.
