TESTING
IMPORTANT: TO PROTECT AGAINST ELECTRICAL SURGES AND LIGHTENING STRIKE
DAMAGING RAINBANK OR ITS PUMP WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THE USE OF A SUIT-
ABLE SURGE PROTECTION DEVICE AND RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICES.
Test the operation of RainBank.
1. With the mains connected and the
rainwater tank empty turn on one
of the taps in the laundry that feed
the washing machine or flush the
toilet. Mains water should flow
normally. The pump should
not
turn
on. When this is completed turn off
tap.
NOTE: Mains water indicator light is
not applicable on this model.
2. Fill the rainwater tank with sufficient
water to activate or cover the pump.
3. Check that the pump is correctly
primed and there are no air locks that
will interfere with its operation. This is
essential for the proper operation of
the unit. See the instructions on how
to do this in the Priming section on
page 13.
4. Turn on a tap or flush a toilet in
the rainwater system. The pump
should run and deliver rainwater.
Allow to run for several minutes to
clear air from pipes. The
‘status’
light will now glow
‘green’
.
5. Check for leaks around RainBank, the
pump, pipework and fittings.
