Get Strong, Reliable Pressure From Your Rainwater Tank

In rural and regional areas, water rarely has a short journey to make. This precious resource often needs to be pumped from a rainwater tank to reach homes, sheds or gardens. Whether you have reliable pressure at the end of that run depends on the pump doing its job.

That pump spends its life out of sight, sitting under the water and running every time a tap is opened. Most people never give it a thought until the day it stops and the taps run dry. Picking a pump that is built for the application and distance you are asking of it, is what saves you the callouts and the downtime later on.

More Than Just A Submersible Pump

Davey's D85A/B submersible pressure pump is made for this kind of job. Its five stage design delivers high head up to 48 metres and up to 85 litres a minute, so water still arrives with pressure to spare.

It also has pressure control built in, so the pump starts and stops on its own as taps and outlets are used. You get pressure on demand without bolting on a separate controller. The stainless steel body and IP68 rated sealing are made to sit under water, down to eight metres, and the 15 metre lead offers versatility on the tank location. Fitted with a float switch the pump automatically switches on or off with the water level, keeping it from running dry.

It Works Best As Part Of The Whole Setup

A submersible pump only performs as well as the system around it and the big one is sizing. Match the pump to the depth, the flow you need and the distance the water has to travel, and it will do its job quietly for years. Go too small and you are always short on pressure. Go too big and you burn energy and wear it out faster. Run the D85A/B with the right tank fittings, pipework and controls and the water moves cleanly from the tank to the tap.

The stainless steel and engineered plastics construction also means it stands up to the demands of rural household water supply through hot summers and long stretches of watering. That is what keeps the water going to the house and the garden, instead of leaving you chasing a pump that is working harder than it should.

Reliable Water, Year In Year Out

Getting water from a tank to where you need it comes down to two things. Pick the right pump, and set it up the way it is meant to run. The Davey D85A/B is built tough and has the grunt, so a rural property gets water supply it can count on.
