IMPORTANT:
• RainBank must be installed and serviced by a licensed plumber.
• Check with your local water authority on water restrictions when your
rainwater tank is connected to mains water.
• Do not enter a empty rainwater tank - they may contain hazardous gases.
• Before installing RainBank please read all instructions carefully as failures
caused by incorrect installation are not covered under warranty.
• If you are in doubt about any aspect of your RainBank kit’s suitability, check
with your Davey Dealer. For help in locating your closet dealer call the
appropriate Davey Customer Service Centre listed on the back of this booklet.
• RainBank is designed to handle clean rainwater and mains water. It should
not be used to interconnect as part of a bore water, dam water, grey water,
stormwater or recycled water system.
• The pumping of abrasive materials will damage the system and void the warranty.
• Mains electrical connections and checks must be made by a qualified
electrician and comply with applicable local standards. The 12 volt
connections need not be carried out by a qualified electrician, but should be
done in compliance with applicable standards.
• Secure all openings to the rainwater tank and make sure the wiring, plumbing
and the RainBank unit are protected from access by children and pets.
• Water freezing inside the RainBank will damage the unit. Locate your
RainBank and pump so that they are not susceptible to freezing.
• Some insects such as small ants find electrical devices attractive for various
reasons. If your controller or pump is susceptible to insect infestation you
should implement a suitable pest control plan.
• Over time the relevant position of the home or RainBank and the rainwater
tank may change slightly. In order to reduce the stresses on pipework
such movement may result in, it is recommended that a length of flexible
pipework from pump to RainBank be installed. This pipework can be a
braided hose or polythene pipe or similar.
• Limit mains water pressure to 600kPa max.
(NOTE: Australian Building
Standards stipulate incoming mains pressure should not exceed 500kPa.)
• Under AS/NZS 3500.1 collecting/storing rainwater in a buried tank is
considered a medium level hazard. Even though RainBank has a built-in
dual check back flow valve, you may be required to fit additional backflow
protection valves to satisfy this requirement – check with your local council as
to their guidelines on rainwater tank installation and backflow prevention.
