Pump sets for rainwater tanks

Davey Water Products has introduced the Silver Series range of electric pressure pump systems for backyard rainwater tanks. The series has three models from a simple manual water transfer pump which connects with a three-pin plug to a standard power outlet and can be switched on and off as needed.

The intermediate model has automatic features and will start and stop according to pressure demand. Additional features are a 2 L capacity pressure tank and the Davey-designed LOP pressure switch. This model includes partial closed head protection and low pressure cut-out to provide loss of prime (no-water supply) protection.

The third model also connects to a standard power outlet and will stop and start according to flow demands. It also features anti-cycling controls making it less likely to stop and start under low flow conditions as well as closed head and loss of prime protection.

All the models handle ambient exposed temperatures of up to 50°C and mains voltage variations of up to 10%.

High grade stainless steel is in the pump end to ensure its long service life.
