Rain water is collected from the roof and it flows through the gutters into the water harvesting tank.
A pump draws the rain water from the harvesting tank and pushes it into the RainSafe.
The RainSafe first filters the water then treats it with UV radiation before storing it into its own tank.
In the tank water is treated with ozone. Before delivering the clean water the RainSafe filters it again
and removes the ozone.
Now you have clean water throughout the house.
THE RAINSAFE USES A UNIQUE METHOD FOR TREATING VARIOUS SOURCE WATERS:
MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS:
•
You have an adequate rain harvesting system that uses a first flush diverter, calmed inlet and
floating suction
•
The water delivery pipes are in good condition and clean
•
Source water parametric requirements:
(1) ≥ 80% UVT, 2) Turbidity ≤ 1 NTU, (3) TOC (total organic carbon) ≤ 4mg/l, (4) TSS ≤ 1mg/l (5)
Chlorine free water, (6) pH 6.5-8, (7) Bromides < 5µg/l.
•
Cold supply water only between 5ºC and 25ºC
•
Power supply of 220-240V 50Hz AC and a connection through a 30mA RCD
•
The RainSafe must be installed indoors in a clean well ventilated room
•
You have a pre-planned safe way of getting rid of the excess ozone.

Item Check List:
• RainSafe System
• RainSafe Customer and Operations Manual
• Genyo Pump Controller Manual
• Lowara Pump Manual
• Inlet Filter
• Outlet Filter
• Outlet 1” elbow
• Boxed ORP probe
When planning the installation of the RainSafe :
• Make sure you have the position and pipe routes
planned, and that you have the materials and
tools ready.
• Note that the inlet, outlet and overflow pipes are
in a fixed position.
• If you can’t allow for a gap between the back of
the machine and the wall note the position and
the exit points of the pipes on the drawing.
• We recommend using rigid pipes.
• The overflow must lead directly outside,
preferably connected to the rainwater
harvesting system.
•
The overflow will vent out ozone and excess
water so it is important that the overflow pipe is
part of a “stand alone system” not connected to
existing drains where the ozone may leak inside
the house.
• Ozone has a distinctive smell and prolonged
exposure might be harmful so make sure that it
is vented in an area with low traffic.
• The RainSafe is fitted with 1” BSP swivel female
fittings for the outlet and inlet pipes so your
inlet and outlet pipes should end with 1” BSP
male fittings or 1” BSP threaded pipes.
• Depending on the planned route you might
need fittings that allow for change of direction
(elbows).
• The overflow pipe will be exposed to ozone that
can react with some pipe materials so you will
need to use rigid PVC pipes for the overflow
route.
• Pipework and fittings must be prepared using
abrasive pad.
• Pipework must be joined using P.V.C. solvent
cement adhesive to EN 4680.
• Pipework may be reduced from tailpipe to a
minimum of DN40.
Warning: To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following:
• Installation should only be performed by an authorised RainSafe technician. Failure to do so will lead to
warranty invalidation relating to compliance with installation and maintenance.
• Do not use the RainSafe for any purpose other than its intended purpose as described in this manual.
• To prevent the risk of severe or fatal electrical shock, special precautions must be taken since water is
present near electrical equipment. Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance
• Avoid exposure to direct or strongly reflected germicidal ultraviolet rays. Germicidal ultraviolet rays are
harmful to the eyes and skin.
• Intended for indoor use only: do not install the system outdoors and/ or directly expose it to atmospheric
agents. The RainSafe should be protected from the elements and from temperatures below 5ºC and above
35ºC
• Ensure overflow for water is correctly plumbed as per Installation Guidelines and is free draining and sealed
to outdoors with no water traps in ventilation path. It should not be connected to existing drains where the
ozone may leak inside the house
• Ensure ozone is vented through an external wall to an elevated release point away from windows or other
openings
• Ensure proper ventilation to the outside is provided where the RainSafe is to be housed to ensure safe and
adequate ventilation of the ozone
• Do not operate the RainSafe if the power cord and/or plug are damaged, or if any other damage is visible or
suspected
• Electrical power supplied to the RainSafe MUST match power requirements listed on the RainSafe
• Plug the RainSafe into an approved ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) receptacle with suitable 30 mA RCD
fitted
• In the unlikely event of the quartz glass sleeve housing the UV lamp being broken, immediately contact your
local service engineer and do not use the water
• Air Dryer is insulated and may appear cool. NOTE: It can be very hot under the insulation. Do not attempt
to touch or remove air dryer during operation. The air dryer operates at high temperatures. If removing wait
sufficient time for it to cool down before removal
• Only use correct inlet and outlet filters –non suitable filters will invalidate the warranty
• Only install the correct UV Lamp- non suitable UV Lamp will invalidate the warranty
DO NOT MODIFY THE RAINSAFE IN ANY WAY.
THIS WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT
It is important to read and understand the safety
