4) DO NOT install it in such a manner that it would require a person to get inside the tank to
remove/repair it.
5) You MUST use 25mm or larger POLY or PVC pipe connected to the discharge of the pump.
DO NOT CONNECT COPPER or GALV PIPE or less than 25mm ID POLY/PVC PIPE to this
pump.
6) VERY IMPORTANT: Ensure that the connection to the outlet of the pump is robust and
sealed VERY well. Use 15 wraps of thread-seal tape on the male thread. DO NOT USE glue
unless you are CERTAIN that you will not drip glue inside the pump.
7) Glue or other substances dripped inside the pump voids warranty. Do NOT fit threaded
fitting to the pump then glue pipe to that fitting as glue will drip inside the pump. Glue the
fitting and allow it to dry BEFORE attaching the threaded fitting to the pump. NOTE: If the
fitting leaks, it will cause cycling of the pump, this is not warranty – this is the installer’s
responsibility.
8) Ensure that the pump will not knock against the side of the tank during start-up, or
operation or stopping.
9) No electrical appliance lasts forever - the pump must be easily accessible for repair or
servicing - if the rainwater tank is installed under eaves, or under a deck or any other
structure, ensure the pump can be easily removed.
10) For underground tanks, the installation must be designed and constructed to allow easy
access, for servicing and repairs to the pump. In the unlikely event of pump failure,
warranty does not include costs of digging up gardens and re-running electrical cables, etc.
11) If the pump has a float switch, ensure it CANNOT get stuck on the side of the tank or
under baffles or similar - warranty service does not cover this situation. FOR PUMPS WITH
FLOATS: The water level will need to be 0.6m to 1.2m high inside the tank, for the pump
to start.
12)
An Isolation valve must be fitted (ball-valve or gate-valve) in the discharge pipework
13) A Barrel-Union must be fitted external of the tank to allow easy servicing of the pump,
install it after the elbow to avoid it twisting loose from the pump starting & stopping.
14) It is the INSTALLERS responsibility to check the pumps operation prior to leaving the site
CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS: Ensure all fittings and joints are watertight and airtight. Leaks
will cause the pump to cycle on & off continuously, this is not a fault of the pump.
15) All Electrical Wiring & Power Outlet & Cable protection must be in accordance with
applicable Australian Standards. We recommend a separate circuit.
