As sustainable solutions become increasingly important, many homeowners are opting to reduce their water consumption through practical systems like rainwater harvesting. Davey, a pioneer in the rainwater harvesting space since the early 2000s, was among the first to develop advanced systems that earned prestigious Australian Design Awards. For plumbers, this innovation presents an opportunity to offer clients an efficient, cost-effective solution – and what’s more, the RainBank range of products are still made in Australia.

Here’s why you should consider recommending a Davey rainwater harvesting system, such as the RainBank interchange device, to your clients.

Rainwater harvesting systems are designed to collect and store rainwater for various domestic uses, including toilet flushing, garden irrigation, and even laundry. With a Davey RainBank system, clients can enjoy the benefits of rainwater as the primary source, while automatically switching to mains water when the tank runs low. This interchange technology reduces the strain on mains water supplies and lowers water bills, making it a practical solution for both residential and commercial properties.

Water bills can make up a significant portion of a household’s monthly expenses. By installing a rainwater harvesting system, clients can significantly reduce their reliance on mains water, which translates into long-term savings. In larger properties with expansive gardens or irrigation needs, the savings can be substantial. Additionally, the RainBank system ensures there’s no disruption to water flow when rainwater levels are low, offering clients the reliability they expect while still saving money.

One of the most compelling reasons to install a rainwater harvesting system is its environmental benefits. With a Davey RainBank system, your clients can reduce their ecological footprint by making better use of natural resources. Rainwater harvesting helps alleviate pressure on local water systems, and by reducing stormwater runoff, it also helps prevent flooding and erosion in urban areas. For clients looking to make environmentally conscious decisions, this system is a natural choice.

As a plumber, you’ll appreciate how easy the Davey RainBank system is to install. Davey’s pioneering technology simplifies installation and minimises maintenance, saving both time and money. The system includes surface-mounted or submersible pump options, allowing you to tailor the installation to each property’s needs. Whether it’s a single-storey home or a property requiring higher pressure for multiple outlets, there’s a RainBank model that fits. With no need for solenoid valves, the process is straightforward, making it a reliable solution for both you and your clients.

Davey has long been at the forefront of innovation in rainwater harvesting, and the RainBank system is no exception. Featuring built-in dual check valves to prevent backflow, the system complies with Australian and New Zealand standards (AS/NZS 3500-1). The feedback lights indicate the water source and provide fault alerts, ensuring your clients can easily monitor the system. This smart water management technology ensures efficient operation with minimal effort, making it a valuable addition to any property.

The Davey RainBank system is not limited to garden irrigation. It can be used for a variety of applications, including laundry, toilet flushing, and even agricultural uses. This versatility makes it a highly adaptable solution for various property types, including residential, commercial, and farming setups. By offering such a flexible system, you can meet diverse client needs, positioning yourself as a provider of cutting-edge, sustainable solutions.

Installing a rainwater harvesting system adds tangible value to any property. With water scarcity becoming a growing concern, having a system that conserves water can make a property more attractive to potential buyers or renters. The Davey RainBank is a forward-thinking investment that enhances the property’s appeal while delivering significant long-term savings.

Davey’s early innovations in rainwater harvesting have set the benchmark for quality and reliability in the industry. The RainBank system was one of the first to earn Australian Design Awards, a testament to its superior engineering and sustainable design. With Davey’s long-standing reputation, clients can trust that they’re investing in a product that has been thoroughly tested and proven to perform in diverse conditions.
