INSTALLATION TYPE 1
Above ground tank and pump
outside tank. Suitable kit models:
KRB1, 2, 3 & 4
Tools you will need
• Adjustable spanner 2” or 50mm
(across flats)
• Second adjustable spanner 2” or
50mm (across flats)
• Thread tape
• 20mm spade bit or hole saw to drill
hole in top of tank for float switch.
• If you are mounting the RainBank
to a wall as a bare installation you
will need the Davey RainBank wall
mounting bracket (p/n: 32556).
STEP 1 - PUMP POSITION
Evaluate and select the best pump
site. This must be below the lowest
anticipated level of the float switch and
this level should be at least 100mm
above the base of the tank to avoid
sludge being drawn into the pump.
The pump site should be well drained
and have a firm base. A concrete slab
600mm x 600mm is ideal.
STEP 2 - RAINBANK POSITION
Work out where the RainBank will be
positioned. Check that there is a power point
within reach of the
3 metre power
lead
.
IMPORTANT
Do not use long mains power extension
leads as they cause substantial voltage
drop, poor performance and can lead to
motor overload.
Check that the float switch lead
(9m long) will reach the RainBank.

Installation Inside Buildings
: To
cater for possible plumbing leaks or damage
to the RainBank system components, the
installation must include an enclosure that
will capture any water spraying from the
plumbing or RainBank system and direct it
into a properly constructed drain tray.
!
Note
: When installing a RainBank and/
or associated pump system inside a building,
allowance for possible high pressure leakage
MUST be made.
!
Note
: In order to carry out routine
maintenance to the RainBank MUST be easily
accessible to the end user or home owner.
