Disclaimer:
Products in this specification manual must by regulation be installed by licensed and registered trade people. The manufacturer/distributor
reserves the right to vary specifications or delete models from their range without prior notification. Dimensions and set-outs listed are
correct at time of publication however the manufacturer/distributor takes no responsibility for printing errors.
INSTALLATION
Freezing conditions will damage the unit, as water expands as it
freezes. Ensure that the Rain2Main is located so that it is not prone
to freezing, or ensure that the product is disconnected and dried of
water during cold conditions.
Rain2Main is electrically connected. Ensure that it is isolated from
electrical supply during installation and any subsequent service
work.
Do not install or operate Rain2Main in an explosive environment or
near combustible matter.
Brace inlet and outlet connections while fitting Rain2Main. Any
movement of connections may disturb internal seals and cause
leakage.
PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
Read these instructions first. Inspect Rain2Main for shipping damage.
Report any damage to your Reece store of purchase.
If the incoming mains pressure to your property is greater than
the specified 1000 kPa, please fit a pressure reduction valve
of appropriate capacity upstream of Rain2Main. This pressure
reduction valve must bring the pressure to below the rated value
of 1000 kPa. A recommended pressure is 500-750 kPa. Fitting
this type of device to your entire household will extend the life of
other appliances such as washing machines, hot water service and
dishwashers.
Ensure installation is in accordance with AS/NZS 3500.1 - Plumbing
and Drainage - Water Services.
Fittings and Accessories
Ensure that you have all required fittings and accessories prior to
installing Rain2Main.
Surface Pumps
For installation we recommend the following items:
- threadseal tape
- 1” BSP male to chosen pipe type connector (x2)
Submersible Pumps
Mounting Rain2Main on a wall is made easy with the optional wall
mounting kit. In addition, flexible hose (at least 25mm diameter), barbed
hose connectors and hose clamps may also be required.
Protection
Warranty of this Rain2Main is void unless it is operated in accordance
with this owner’s manual. The pump and Rain2Main should be housed in
a weather-proof, well ventilated enclosure, to protect from the weather,
flooding, chemicals, dust, vermin, insects, etc.
VADA - Rain2Main Automatic Rainwater Controller
INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS
1. The Vada Rain2Main comes with 2 mesh inline filters. These filters should be correctly inserted on the mains water input and pump input of the
Rain2Main.
2. The recommended height of the tank outlet from the base of the tank be set at 100mm.
3. A recommended minimum distance of 100mm of straight pipe at the Rain2Main mains water inlet.
4. Clean water is essential for the reliable operation of your Rain2Main system. We recommend the installation of first flush diverters and leaf guards
on your water collection system.
Mounting
The pump and Rain2Main must be mounted on a solid, level, vibration-
free surface. The Rain2Main can be mounted in one of two ways:
1. Mount directly to the top of the pump with surface accessory kit.
2. Mount remote from the pump with wall bracket.
