To protect against electrical surges and
lightening strike damaging RainBank or
its pump we strongly recommend the
use of a suitable surge protection device
and residual current devices.
STEP 8 - TESTING
Test the operation of RainBank.
1. With the mains connected and the
rainwater tank empty turn on one
of the taps in the laundry that feed
the washing machine or flush the
toilet. Mains water should flow
normally. The pump should
not
turn
on. The
‘status’
light should glow
‘red’
to indicate that mains water is
being used. When this is completed
turn off tap.
2. Fill the rainwater tank with sufficient
water to activate or cover the float
switch.
3. Check that the pump is correctly
primed and there are no air locks that
will interfere with its operation as per
the Davey instructions. This is
essential for the proper operation of
the unit. See the instructions on how
to do this for all types of Davey pump
in the Priming section on page 26.
4. Turn on a tap or flush a toilet in
the rainwater system. The pump
should run and deliver rainwater.
Allow to run for several minutes to
clear air from pipes. The
‘status’
light will now glow
‘green’
.
5. Remove the float switch connection
from the RainBank – this should
stop the pump and confirms that
the float switch and power
connections have been made
correctly – refit the float switch
connection. The
‘status’
light will
now glow
‘red’
. Press the manual
override button to operate the pump
if needed. The
‘status’
light will glow
‘yellow’
while the manual override
button is depressed.
NOTE: Mains water indicator light is
not applicable in RainBank ‘S’
models.
6. Check for leaks around RainBank,
the pump, pipework and fittings.
INSTALLATION TYPE 2
Above ground tank with submersible
pump inside eg: KRBS1 & 2
IMPORTANT
• This type of pump comes with its own
float switch system to detect water
level so it is not necessary to drill the
tank to fit a float switch.
