House pump?

In short the house pump will be either:

• Mains Connected
• Non-Mains Connected

MAINS Connected Pumps

A rain to mains water pump contains a change over valve that allow water pumps to switch between water from the tank and mains water supply.

This valve ensures a reliable water supply for the whole house water supply. It’s is estimated that households can save up to 40% of water when they install a water tank pump. Some properties use full rain water for the complete water supply even though they have access to mains water.

We would always recommend an automatic changeover valve. This intelligent valve can determine when the water in the tank is low and will automatically switch to mains water supply.

NON-MAINS Connected Pumps

Some locations in Australia do not have access to mains water supply ie rural or semi rural properties. These properties must use pumps with No-mains changeover valve.

A pump to service the full home that does not have mains water is the most integral decision to ensure constant water supply. Its most important to ensure the pressure of the pump to ensure your showers are not impacted by poor pressure.

All non-mains pumps have an automatic shut down when the tank water is not sufficient. This is to protect the motor.

As a final note, please remember the best water tank pump for your property must have sufficient water pressure to ensure that you wont be disappointed.
