The Smart Mains Backup The Rain Director® is an intelligent gravity-feed solution which addresses several shortcomings in direct-feed systems and dumb header tanks. The Rain Director® ensures a constant head of clear rainwater for washing machines, toilets, the garden and other uses. The header tank in the roof space is controlled by electronic level sensors, valves and a ground floor control panel. The Rain Director® is the only rainwater management system approved under The advantages are: the Water Regulations by WRAS • Pump activity has been reduced to a minimum as the pump only works...

and Header Tank System Rain water supply pipe. Routed to the bottom of the tank, to reduce turbulence or splash. Mains water supply. To provide the air gap required by U.K. Building Regulations, it flows into the tank from above the surface of the water. Float valve prevents overflow of the mains water flow even when there is no power. Air gap in the back of wall of the tank as required by WRAS and BS EN13077: 2003. • Fail-safe mains backup, smart header tank. • Saves energy and prolongs pump life. • No discoloured water in header tank. • Assures water supply during a power cut. • Indicates...

SAVE HALF YOUR WATER BILL FOR 1p A DAY Test bench measurements between September 2011 and January 2012 show that the 800 watt HydroForce series 3 pump and the Rain Director® with smart header tank use less than one penny per person per day in electricity for pumping the rainwater from the underground tank to the appliances. The conclusions are based on instantaneous measurements of electricity used by the water pump using the Efergy E2 ELink measuring device and software (http://www.efergy. com). The pump filled the header tank, with a net volume of 80 litres, which was then left to drain...
