PLUMBERS TIPS
1. Fit first flush devices to all down pipes to ensure clean water inside the tank
(dirty tank water can stain toilets and clothes).
2. Clear swarf from all pipes and holes drilled into the tank (swarf can block valves,
RainBank and toilet valves).
3. Check with local council plumbing teams for backflow requirements.
4. Keep pipe work well braced as vibrations can become noisy.
5. Fill rainwater tank above float switch with garden hose to check system.
6. 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.
