RainBank does not need maintenance
but there are things you can do to ensure
its most reliable operation.
• Fit a “first flush” system that ensures
the first run of dirty rainwater does
not go into the tank.
• Clean your gutters and first flush
devices and ‘Y’ strainers regularly.
• Remove branches that over hang
your roof.
• Have a strainer fitted to your
rainwater tank inlet and regularly
check this for leaves and twigs, etc.
• You should also check for debris in
the bottom of your tank a few times a
year and clean this out if necessary.
A first flush system will greatly reduce
the need for this action.
IMPORTANT MAINTENANCE
PRECAUTIONS
• Davey pump motors are fitted with an
automatic thermal overload switch
that stops the motor if the motor
gets too hot to avoid damaging it.
This automatically re-starts the motor
when the temperature within the
pump has dropped to a safe level.
Constant tripping of this switch
indicates a problem e.g. Low voltage
at pump, etc.
• This automatic thermal overload
switch can start the pump without
warning. Always disconnect the
controller and/or pump motor from
the electrical supply before
maintenance or repairs.
• Care should also be taken when
servicing or disassembling pump to
avoid injury from hot pressurised
water. Unplug the pump, relieve
the pressure by opening a tap on the
discharge side of the pump and allow
any hot water to cool before
attempting to dismantle.
• Do not use petroleum based fluids or
solvents (e.g. oils, kerosene,
turpentine, thinners, etc. on the
plastic or seal components).
• Do not use hydrocarbon based or
propelled sprays around the electrical
components of the controller.
• During servicing use only approved
non petrochemical based oring and
gasket lubrication. If unsure consult
your Davey Dealer for advice.
