Featured Product

Davey RainBank

• RainBank is an automatic controller for rainwater harvesting produced by Davey Water Products, Australia?s leading designer and manufacturer of water transfer pumps and pressure systems for the rural, domestic, industrial, pool and spa markets.
• RainBank controls the water supply for toilet or laundry applications by automatically switching the water source from the domestic mains to rainwater when a demand is sensed and rainwater is available in the storage tank.
• RainBank is the first product to use rainwater as the water supply for toilet and laundry applications in the metropolitan area and control it automatically.
• RainBank allows households in metropolitan and regional areas to replace up to 40% of their drinking-quality water usage with rainwater.
• RainBank is environmentally friendly- RainBank only operates the pump to pressurise the rainwater when required. Energy costs are saved as there is no double-handling or re-pressurising of the mains water.

How it Works:

• When a toilet is flushed or a washing-machine begins to fill the RainBank system detects this demand and automatically checks to see if there is sufficient water in the rainwater storage tank.
• If there is sufficient rainwater then RainBank switches the supply to this source and completes the demand cycle. Once the demand cycle is complete RainBank automatically switches off.
• If the rainwater supply is depleted at any time during a demand cycle or prior to a demand cycle, RainBank provides mains water to fulfil the demand. In the case of a power failure, RainBank automatically supplies mains water as the backup.

• Davey also has a wide range of Torrium pumps ideal for garden watering, irrigation systems, pool filling and car washing.
