Some years back now, Davey Water Products teamed up with Tankworks Australia (now Kingspan Water) to develop the EVO Mark Two pump system for rainwater tanks. The EVO MKII is a compact solution that includes filtration chambers and a submersible pump connected via standpipe to the Rainbank water switch. This system replaced the EVO MKI – also an in-tank system – from Whites International, comprising of a Rainsaver hydraulic town/tank water switching device, coupled with a DAB Divertron submersible pump.
Professionally installed rainwater systems are low maintenance; but not NO maintenance.
Common maintenance issues or problems you may find with the EVO rainwater pumping systems include
- blocked filter
- pulsing water (water hammer) when switched to town water supply
- town water supply lock out
- electrical dead short which will cause your Safety Switch to trip your power board.
