Step 7 

Attach Rainwater supply to the RM4000-3 Valve as shown in the diagram.  

 

Step 8 

Connect Discharge pipework to the RM4000-3 Valve. Use flexible, not rigid, pipework to 
help avoid vibrations from the pump transmitting to the house.   

 

Step 9 

Mains  supply  is  to  be  connected  to  the  RM4000-3  valve  assembly  through  the  PRV 
(pressure  Reduction  Valve)  ensuring  that  flow  is  with  the  direction  indicated  on  the 
valves.  DO NOT remove or adjust the PRV as it is integral to the function of the system – 
even if there is a PRV installed on the house supply already – do not remove this one – 
all warranty is voided if so and the system will not function correctly. 

 
Important!!! 

Ensure mains is connected to the correct side, as labelled. 

 

IMPORTANT:  if  installing  close  to  a  wall  or  other  fixture,  use  barrel-union 
connections to allow removal if ever required. 

 

 

IMPORTANT:

 MAXIMUM PRESSURE  - A pressure reduction valve must be fitted if mains supply exceeds 800kPa  

 

Step 10  If garden use of rainwater is required, then this  could be taken off between the pump 

and  RM4000-3  valve  assembly  to  avoid  Townwater  use  on  the  garden  –  ensure 
compliance with Government, Local Government and Plumbing Regulations first. 

Important!!! 

Work  on  the  mains  supply  must  be  in  accordance  with  the  relevant 

plumbing code or standard, and performed by a licensed plumber.

 

 

Step 11  Connect the supply line to house to the outlet on the valve assembly, as labelled.  

 

Step 12  Once  all  pipe  work  is  connected  correctly,  check  for  leaks  and  rectify  according  to 

Plumbing regulations. 

 

Step 13  Plug the pump’s power lead into the power outlet provided, which must be installed by 

a licensed Electrician according to Electrical Regulations. 

IMPORTANT CONDITION OF WARRANTY:

 The Power Outlet MUST be in EASY reach for 

the resident – it must 

NOT

 be up above the rainwater tank where a ladder is required to 

reach it.  

 

Step 14  Test the system by filling the tank with some town-water if it hasn’t rained, then open  

connected garden taps, flush toilets etc. If the pump fails to operate, re-prime it per Step 
3. 

 

Step 15  If you experience  any problems, refer  to  the troubleshooting guide first, before calling 

for warranty service. A call-out fee will apply for all field service work if it is found not to 
be a Warranty problem.
