Submersible Irrigation Pump System for Underground Rainwater Tanks
Our in-tank Rainwater Pump Kits can be used to pump rain collected in your water storage tank for use outdoors, for example garden and polytunnel irrigation, cleaning drives and patios or washing cars and windows. Suitable for all new and existing water storage tanks, including PE, GRP and concrete tanks.
These submersible rainwater tank pump systems are ideal in underground tanks of of 1000 litres and upwards.
The SteelPump is a sustainable cleanwater pump (it has a high build quality and all parts can be replaced - so truely sustainable). However like all cleanwater pumps the rainwater going through it needs to be cleaned (filtered) prior to the pump (to avoid damage to the impellers from leaves, feathers, grit etc). 3P Technik's Compact Filter, their Calmed Inlet and the fine stainless steel mesh on the Floating Intake are a great combination for cleaning the rain water before it enters the pump.
All the Pump Kits are suitable for new and existing water storage tanks including PE, GRP and concrete tanks (like for example Enduramaxx, Rototek, Wydale and Balmoral).
Our Rainwater Harvesting Pump Irrigation Kits for Underground Water Tanks include:
Filter
A quality water filter is the first step in a professional rainwater cleaning system. 3P Technik’s Garden Filter separates dirt particles and debris from rainwater. The dirt is collected in a plastic mesh basket which is easy to remove and clean.
Calmed Inlet
Inyour rainwater collection tank, any residual particles heavier than water settle to the bottom of the tank. The 3P Technik Calmed Inlet ensures that oxygenated water is introduced to the lower layers of the stored water in the tank without disturbing the settled sedimentation. This oxygen-rich water prevents anaerobic reducing conditions forming in the storage tank and ensures that the water stays fresh.
Floating Intake
The Intake floats just below the water surface (where the cleanest water is found). The Intake’s fine stainless steel mesh filters the extracted by the pump. The intake also has a non-return (check) valve within it. It is complete with a 1m heavy duty suction hose and fittings to attach it to the SteelPump. More information about the Floating Intake or to purchase this item individually.
XAJE80P SteelPump
A professional quality automatic jet-pump, with stainless steel motor body. Submersible and selfpriming, ideal for domestic non-potable water supply. The intelligent pump responds to pressure in the delivery pipe. It turns itself on when there is a demand for water, then switches off again automatically once the demand has been met. More information about the XAJE80P SteelPump or to purchase this item individually.
The SteelPump comes complete with a Float Switch which turns the pump off if the water level gets too low. This, backed up by the dry-run protection in the pump’s software, ensures a longer life for your pump as it will not run when there is no rainwater in your tank.
Pump to Turret Hose
The 25mm diameter Pump to Turret Hose connects the pump outlet of your SteelPump to the turret of your rainwater tank.
Designed to fit vertical or horizontal PE, GRP or concrete water storage tanks.
Your SteelPump sits on the floor of your storage tank. The internal height of your rainwater tank will therefore determine the length of Turret Hose you require.
