APPLICATION GUIDE

Rainwater Tank Transfer

Stored rainwater and stormwater can carry different levels of debris. Start with the water condition, then check lift, hose length and required flow.

YARDPUMP compact submersible pump range
Choose the solids-handling range to suit the collected water.

Selection

What to Check Before Choosing

01

Tank Water
Describe sediment, leaves and any inlet screening.

02

Depth and Access
Check the 5 m maximum submersion depth, tank depth and the space available to place and retrieve the pump.

03

Discharge Height
Measure lift from the operating water level to the outlet.

04

Hose or Irrigation System
Include hose length, fittings and any pressure required.

05

Controls
Decide how the pump starts, stops and avoids running without water.

Common Questions

Questions to Check Before You Choose

Is a clean-water model suitable for a rainwater tank?

It may be, if the water is screened and particles remain within the model’s limits. Tanks with sediment or leaves need a review of the intake and debris.

Can the pump supply sprinklers?

Check the sprinkler system’s required flow and pressure against the pump curve, including lift and hose losses. Some applications need a different pump type.
