Use of Rainbank Controller for water
pumps:
It has come to my attention that people have either installed a Daveys Rainbank Controller or are being advised to buy one by the pump dealer to allow swap over between mains and tank water. The Rainbank controller requires mains pressure to operate and actually uses mains until the flow is more than 1.5 litres per minute. This means that if the village pump is not working then neither will your own pump which is not a good idea
Make sure that you get an independent pressure controller for your pump. I would advise manual change over if you need it. Please refer to the Water Document on the AAEV web site for information on the ways to configure your water systems. See:
