Water pressure for household use: A pump to pressurise the water for the supply is used to deliver water.

RAINWATER TANK TIPS • Install gutter mesh to prevent leaves and debris from blocking gutters • Fit enough gutter outlets on the underside of the gutter to prevent obstruction of water flow • A ‘Leaf Eater’ can be installed onto downpipes. This is a simple and effective way to prevent blockages • Install a tank screen at the tank entry point to filter water and keep mosquitoes and pests out • Consider annual rainfall, roof catchment area and water usage when determining the size of the tank you want to install • Use a tank top up system (if required) to automatically top up the tank with mains water when water levels fall to a designated minimum level • Select a pump system (if required) to distribute water for use inside or outside the home. On simple systems, gravity will do the trick too.

The plug is made from virgin nylon and not plastic to ensure maximum expansion.

It does not allow ‘creep’ by the plastic, with the tendency to move to an area where there is less pressure exerted on it. The result of the ‘creep’ is that the holding power of the plastic anchors is reduced dramatically over time. Furthermore, nylon has a far higher melting point than plastic, and is unaffected by UV rays, moisture or temperature changes.

In many dynamic applications, the nylon functions almost like a shock absorber and expands into the drilled hole to create a solid anchor. This then does not damage or pulverise the brickwork during operational movement.
