How to Choose the Best Pump for Your Rainwater Tank

Installing a rainwater tank is a smart move—but to get the most out of your stored water, you need the right pump. Here’s what you should consider:

1. Know Your Water Use Needs

Understanding how you plan to use your rainwater will help you choose the right pump. Here are some common scenarios:

• Garden & Outdoor Use:
• A smaller pressure pump is ideal for tasks like watering the garden, washing your car, or cleaning outdoor spaces.
• Household Use:
• For indoor tasks such as flushing toilets, running washing machines, or taking showers, you’ll need a larger, more powerful pump to ensure consistent water pressure.
• Whole Property Use:
• Farms, irrigation systems, and large homes benefit from high-flow pumps that provide reliable pressure across multiple outlets.

2. What Type of Pump Do You Need?

There are two main types of pumps to consider:

• Submersible Pumps:
• These pumps sit inside the tank, saving space and operating quietly. They’re great for smaller systems or urban setups where noise and space are considerations.
• External Pumps:
• Mounted outside the tank, external pumps are more suited for larger systems requiring higher flow rates. They’re durable and easy to access for maintenance.

3. Look for Quality and Durability

Your pump will need to withstand the demands of tough Australian conditions. When choosing a pump, look for these features:

• UV-Stable Materials:
• Ensures the pump can handle harsh sunlight without degradation.
• Energy-Efficient Models:
• Saves electricity while delivering powerful performance.
• Low Noise Options:
• Ideal for suburban homes where quiet operation is a priority.
