Professional Installation Requirements
- Installation should be carried out by a suitably qualified electrician and plumber. The 240 V supply, VSD interface, pump system, rain/mains plumbing and backflow protection must be installed in accordance with applicable Australian requirements and the manufacturer's instructions.
Applications
- Domestic rainwater harvesting systems
- Toilet and laundry rainwater supplies
- Commercial and light-industrial water reuse systems
- Rain/mains changeover systems using a single Vasco or compatible variable-speed drive pump
- Pressure pumping applications requiring automatic tank-level changeover
Standards & Compliance
- AS/NZS 3000:2018 – applicable electrical installation requirements for the 240 V supply and associated wiring
- AS/NZS 3500.1:2021 – applicable plumbing and water-services requirements, including protection against cross-connection and backflow
Environmental Benefits
- Prioritises stored rainwater, reducing reliance on treated mains water
- Automatic changeover helps maintain water availability while maximising rainwater use
- Pulse latching valve operation can reduce control energy consumption compared with continuously energised solenoid valves
- Polycarbonate enclosure and durable control components support extended service life and reduced replacement waste
