Rainwater supply managers, pumps and tanks for irrigation

Rainwater supply managers, break tanks and irrigation pump systems help manage water supply for landscape irrigation installations and rainwater harvesting arrangements. Product groups cover packaged pressure booster sets, jet pumps, submersible pumps, submersible borehole pumps, pressure controllers and rainwater system components. Cistern filling systems, docking stations and installation kits support the wider pump and tank arrangement where matching accessories are required.

Choose irrigation pumping equipment by starting with the installation context. A pressure booster set suits projects that need a packaged pressure pump set, while jet pumps and submersible pumps suit different pump configurations. Break tanks and rainwater harvesting products are relevant where stored rainwater, cistern filling or a dedicated tank component forms part of the system.

Pressure booster sets and irrigation pressure systems

Pumps & pressure sets include compact pressure set types, jet pumps, pressure controllers and related connection equipment. Individual pressure set products specify threaded connections such as 3/4 inch, 1 inch and 1 1/4 inch female thread, with pressure ratings including 3 bar, 7.5 bar, 8 bar and 12 bar on named products.

Material descriptions across pressure sets include technopolymer, PP, cast iron and stainless steel 304. Select a pressure booster set by checking the connection size, material, pressure rating and electrical information stated for the specific product. Some pressure sets are also identified as KIWA compliant, so project requirements should be checked against the exact product description before ordering.

Jet pumps and submersible pumps

Jet pumps are available in cast iron and stainless steel 304 versions, with several products described as self-priming and fitted with a 1 inch female thread. Some jet pump products include press control or a pressure switch, making the controller arrangement an important selection point. Compare the pump material, thread size, pressure rating where stated and whether a control component is integrated.

Submersible pump options include reinforced plastic models with 1 inch or 1 1/4 inch male thread connections. Submersible borehole pumps include 3 inch, 3.5 inch and 4 inch types, with product descriptions referencing female thread connections, 230VAC supply, cable lengths, control boxes, capacitors and oil cooling on selected models. Match the borehole pump type and connection detail to the planned installation and existing pipework.

Break tanks and rainwater harvesting equipment

Break tanks sit alongside rainwater management systems where a dedicated tank component is required. A break tank for rainwater harvesting is identified with a 3/4 x 1 male thread connection, 230VAC supply and a BELGAQUA reference, so connection size and compliance wording should be checked against the project requirements.

Rainwater harvesting equipment includes cistern filling systems and other rainwater system components. Filling systems for cisterns are available with variants, while a stainless steel garden square column is also present among the water supply components. Select rainwater harvesting equipment by matching the cistern arrangement, threaded connections and required control unit.

Materials, threads and control components

Material terms used across pump and tank products include technopolymer, PP, cast iron, reinforced plastic and stainless steel 304. These descriptions vary by product type, so the material should be checked at individual product level rather than assumed across all pumps or tanks. This is especially important when replacing an existing pump or extending a current irrigation pressure system.

Thread type and connection size are recurring selection details. Products specify male thread and female thread connections, including 3/4 inch, 1 inch, 1 1/4 inch and 1 1/2 inch sizes on different pump, controller and docking station products. Pressure controllers include 1 inch and 1 1/4 inch male thread versions, while docking stations include female thread x male thread configurations and selected WRAS references.

Practical checks before selecting pump and tank components

Check the pump type, pressure rating where stated, connection size, male or female thread format, material and electrical information before selecting rainwater supply systems or water pressure booster systems. Accessories such as docking stations and installation kits should match the pressure set type and connection requirement. For rainwater control units, confirm whether the project needs a pressure controller, cistern filling system or break tank.

For packaged water pressure booster systems and irrigation pump systems, compare pressure pump sets by pump configuration, pressure rating and threaded connection. For tank separation and rainwater make-up arrangements, consider break tanks. For stored rainwater supply and cistern filling components, compare rainwater harvesting equipment by connection and installation requirement.
