Operation
The AcquaSaver valve will always prioritize the use
of rainwater over mains water when rainwater is
available and will automatically switch to mains
water in the event of the rainwater tank running low
or in an electrical failure.
When rainwater has been replenished, or power
has been restored to the pump, the AcquaSaver
valve will always automatically prioritize back to
rainwater.
The pump is only active when rainwater is being
drawn from the rainwater tank; it does not operate
when the AcquaSaver valve has switched to mains
water position.
The pump’s controller will start and stop the pump
when it detects a demand, for example; flushing a
toilet.
The operating mechanism of the AcquaSaver valve
is a unique patent design and works by hydraulic
water pressure created by the pump to close the
mains water inlet, which ensures an extremely
reliable mechanism using few moving parts and no
electronic components..
Maintenance
The AcquaSaver valve does not require
maintenance; however, there are things you can do
to ensure its most reliable operation:
– Cleaning your gutters
– Cleaning the inlet strainer on the rainwater tank
