Fully Automatic Mains Backup Switch with 1.0hp Stainless Steel Pressure Pump

Introduction

The pump and mains backup switch is an automatic device used for rainwater harvesting systems. It will optimize collected rainwater, when available and default to a mains water source if tank water is not available or should there be a pump or power failure. It basically automatically supplies water to your toilets and laundry, only using mains water as a backup. When the water level inside your rainwater tank gets too low the switch converts to mains water supply. Also, when the water level in your rainwater tank is restored it switches back to pump/tank operation saving you money on your water bills.

Mains Switch Product Features

• Capable of full mains pressure delivery, electronically switch between tank water and mains water, it does reliant on the pump pressure being higher than the mains.
• Pump back flow protection built in, the unit will cross check flow after pump initiation, and if not present the pump power will be isolated. This protects the pump in the event of poor installation or float switch fault.
• Variable speed pump drive, this reduces pump cycling when consumer demand is low.
• One piece moulded flow path design, meaning less leakage points. The water course is part of the casing.
• Electronically select between mains water and tank water.
