Pump Filter and Hose Kit

Pump failure as a result of a closed nozzle, blocked filter or using a hose that is too small is a common (and expensive) experience.

Don't waste time and money using trial and error in designing your own pump and hose system.

550W dirty water submersible pump.

• Rated Power  550 W
• Max. pump rate 12,000 Litres per hour
• Max. height  7.2 Metres
• Max. depth  8 Metres
• Max. grain size 35 Millimetres

This is the same pump we supply with our high quality Home Water Bowser. Automatic control is provided by an adjustable float switch. Designed as a dirty water pump (it can handle foreign particles up to 35mm in size), it is perfect for water re use applications.

Pump pressure relief tube

When the pump is operating, a substantial amount of water is pumped through this tube, down towards the bottom of the pump. This feature porvides the following benefits:

• If a nozzle is left closedor the filter becomes blocked,  and the pump activates automatically when water enters the container, sufficient water circulates through the pump and within the container to prevent overheating / over loading the pump (which would normally burn out the pump).
• Hose nozzles can be turned on and off for reasonable periods of time (eg for watering different parts of the garden) without overloading the pump.
• The constant flow of water inside the container stirs up any sediment, which is then pumped out through the filter. The container will not need cleaning due to sludge build up.

Top Quality Hose

20 Metres of superior quality 19mm garden hose. Australian made, this 3 layer construction hose resists kinking. Also included are 19mm click fittings on each end, and an adjustable nozzle.

A common mistake is using 12mm garden hose - this will typically destroy a submersible pump within 2 months.

External Filter

Adjustable and trigger nozzles are susceptible to bloackage by foreign particles such as lint in greywater and leaf material in rian water. This 40 mesh filter traps these particles in an easy to clean catridge.

Two Sizes

many customers use spare 240 and 120 Litre Wheelie Bins to store water. Please choose the correctly sized kit when ordering (the 240 and 120 Litre wheelie bins have different heights).

Pressure

Under normal use conditions, with the nozzle adjusted to form a jet, the pump provides sufficient pressure to reach 6 metres from the nozzle. Metal dome sprinklers (19mm) produce a 6 metre diameter spray pattern when attached to this kit.

Warranty

All parts in this kit are porvided with a 12 month return to factory / warehouse warranty.
