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.
