Technical Support Line 01733 405 111 (opt. 3)
損損 Rain Mode (Normal Mode): System will use rainwater within the
home. If rainwater is not available in the underground storage tank,
the system will automatically register and switch over to mains water.
損損 Mains Water Mode: Press during a dry period or hose pipe ban to
run internal appliances on mains water and conserve rainwater for
garden use.
損損 Holiday Mode: If leaving the home for an prolonged period of time
(over 1 week) press the holiday button to empty the header tank
and refill with treated mains water.This prevents water quality issues.
When the system is used again it will automatically revert back to
Rain mode. It may be sensible to flush each toilet twice to leave
treated water in the cistern and bowl.
損損 Refresh Function: If no activity is registered within 3 days, the
system will automatically refresh the water within the header tank.
The system will drain the header tank back to the underground tank,
and refill the header tank with fresh rainwater. This guarantees high
quality water with no risk of discolouration or smells. Although the
system refreshes automatically, the user can press the button to
refresh the system at any point.
Problem Probable cause Remedy
Flashing red spanner light during
initial switch on
Both float switches in
low position
Part fill the header tank (as per point 8) Check Cat 5 connection is secure.
Flashing red spanner during
commissioning
Wiring fault Check Cat 5 connection is secure, the wire provided with the system and has not
been cut at any point.
Solid red spanner light during
commissioning
Filling fault Check Rainwater and mains water are available to the system, repeat process 9 to
remove airlocks from the system. Clear solenoid valves (contact supplier).
Mains water or refresh solenoid
constantly open
Solenoid blocked open Clear the solenoid valve (contact supplier).
Mains filling light showing during
normal mode
Rainwater tank empty or
pump not functioning
Check the rainwater level in the underground tank. If the level is high refer to the
pump guide.
Mains filling light showing despite
rainwater working and filling first
Slow fill causing
commissioning time-out
Check/clean the rain solenoid (contact supplier) recommission the system
(refer to point 11).
No lights on the circuit board No power reaching PCB Check the power to the control unit, contact the supplier for further advice if
problem persists.
Toilets not filling or the system is
air locked
Water supply is less than
demand
Check plumbing for obstructions, remove booster pumps, REMOVE GARDEN
TAPS DIRECT FROM HEADER TANK, repeat.
Header tank overflow to waste Rain or Mains Solenoid
blocked open
Clear the solenoid (contact supplier).
Power cut in the home Pump & control unit not
functioning
Use the quarter turn valve (H) to bypass the system with mains water.
Poor rainwater flow into the
header tank
Rain filter blocked Check the filter on the rain feed valve (I) and remove any dirt (turn off the
pump first). Repeat after a week.
