Platin XL/XXL Indirect Rainwater Harvesting System 10000-25000 Litres

Delivery: 7-10 working days

£6,143.22 – £15,125.44 inc VAT

The Indirect-supply system is designed for WCs, washing machines, irrigation, and outdoor cleaning. Rainwater is collected from the roof and filtered before entering the underground tank with a pressure-sensitive pump. When a valve is opened, water is pumped under pressure and gravity-fed from a header tank. The system automatically replenishes the header tank with rainwater and stops pumping when levels are low. In the absence of rain, a floating ball valve controls the top-up of mains water. For garden irrigation, an outside tap can be connected directly to the pump, ensuring a direct pump pressure supply.

Note: When the tank is low on rainwater, the outside tap will not receive mains water top-up.

Description

The Indirect-supply system is designed to support WCs, washing machines, irrigation and outside cleaning purposes. Rainwater is collected from the roof of the property and is fed into the underground tank via the downpipes. On entry to the tank, the water passes through a filter, to prevent any debris from going into the tank. With this system, there is a pressure-sensitive pump located in the underground tank.

When a valve or tap is opened, water will be pumped under pressure until the valve is closed, allowing for the system to repressurise turning the power off to the pump. From the header tank, the water is gravity fed to the WCs etc. It is all automatic, whenever there is a demand for water i.e. when the toilet is flushed the harvested rainwater will be gravity fed to the toilet from the header tank and then the header tank is topped up by the pump inside the underground tank. In periods without rainfall, the water level inside the underground tank will drop.

When the rainwater level is too low the pump will stop pumping harvested rainwater to the header tank. This in turn will result in the rainwater level in the header tank dropping. Inside the header tank, there is a floating ball valve which controls the top-up of mains water in periods with no rain. This means that the system maximises the use of all available rainwater. If the system is to be used for garden irrigation, an outside tap should be installed on the pipework directly off the pump. A T-junction can be used to achieve this. This will mean that the garden tap is then being supplied by direct pump pressure.

What’s included

Supplied by Graf

  • Underground tank (choice of tanks available, sizes vary according to property type)
  • Telescopic lid (choice of telescopic lid available, depending on tank location)
  • Maxi tank dome, DN150 pipe connections
  • Tank Dome Plug, or 2nd maxi tank dome and telescopic lid
  • Filter (Filter Package 3 Optimax Pro Filter internal – DN150 supplied in accordance with type of tank)
  • Submersible pump with floating water intake
  • 20 gallon header tank
  • Float sensor (connected from mains water backup unit to the underground tank)
  • NB. 10,000L & 25,000L tanks have two access turrets and are supplied with two Maxi domes with DN150 connections and two lids of the loading you require

Supplied by Others

  • 100mm diameter duct pipe to contain; float sensor cable, power cable for the pump, also bringing mains water to underground tank as and when required
  • 100mm diameter drainage pipe connected from downpipes to the inlet at the top of the tank (all downpipes brought into one pipe for connection to the filter)
  • 100mm diameter pipe for overflow from the tank to mains drainage network or soakaway

System Benefits

• Simple & quick to install
• Submersible pump supplies harvested rainwater on demand to the header tank where it is then gravity-fed to the WCs & washing machine
• The header tank controls the operation of the system, supply of harvested rainwater and backup mains water to the WCs
• Dual valve system within the header tank prioritises rainwater supply over mains water, maximising the use of all available rainwater to save on mains water consumption
• Mains water switchover point is at a lower level in the header tank and becomes operational when rainwater is not available from the underground Platin tank
• Mains water backup supply is not reliant on the power supply or pump pressure and therefore guarantees the supply of water to WCs at all times

Video

A rainwater harvesting system will cut your home’s demand for drinking water by up to 50% and therefore also protect the environment. But how much time do you have to factor in for operating and maintaining such a system? GRAF rainwater harvesting systems are designed so that only very few of the components need checking. This film shows which components need maintenance and how often. The intelligent components deliver perfectly clear rainwater with minimum maintenance effort, enabling you to save drinking water and time.
