The latest development from AusWide Aqua Automation in rainwater harvesting and recycling systems is the new Series 50W Solar. Using a 12 volt 160 watt self priming variable speed pump this remarkable system senses the difference between the low flow requirements needed for toilet cisterns and the higher flow needed for washing machine filling and garden irrigation. Electronic control adjusts the pump speed automatically to achieve optimum results. A low energy requirement means that this system can be powered by solar cells, to give a true meaning to the concept of environmental savings.

As the system is only 12 volts site wiring is as simple and safe as solar powered garden lights.

Installation can be carried out by semi skilled operators.

An electronic control panel is supplied, with inbuilt by-pass valve and dual check non-return valve. When a tap is turned
on in the house or garden the control module will react and sense the demand for water. The pump will start automatically provided that there is power available, and that there is sufficient water in the tank. If there is insufficient water in the tank or if there is a power failure, the control module will change to mains by-pass to provide an uninterrupted supply of water. These features ensure that there will always be a reliable supply of clean, fresh water for toilet re-fill flushing and laundry use

Polyethylene above ground tanks are available in a variety of sizes and shapes including round, squat and slimline to suit almost rainwater system every installation requirement. We recommend the use of a correctly sized filter system to make sure that leaves, grit and dust are prevented from entering the water supply and damaging washing machines and toilet cisterns

Rainwater Recycling Systems

This system is specifically designed for toilet flushing and washing machine filling, but it can also be used for a single garden tap for limited periods.

Remember - rainwater is a limited resourse - use it wisely - low water usage is sensible water usage
