4bar pressure pump with dry run protection & built-in pressure switch
Rainwater harvesting is the process of capturing rainwater in a holding tank from the roof and re-using it for household and commercial applications such as garden irrigation, flushing toilets etc. Rainwater should not be used for drinking water, preparation of food etc.
Rainwater is a valuable source of water supply and aids in the reduction of potable water usage.
Additionally, water charges are being rolled in across Ireland and rainwater harvesting is a means of controlling water costs.

- Meets new council requirements – where every town and city planning applications show a storm water management plan.
- Softer water – up to 50% less detergents used in washing machines and car wash facilities with equipment having a longer life span.
- Takes pressure off bore holes and wells with poor supplies.
- Much better for irrigation for garden centres, fruit production and home irrigation.
- No costly water treatment equipment needed (soft water)
What You Get:
- Concrete Water Tank – 4000 litres upwards
