1. C S Installation and quaSaver Operating Instructions Surface Pumps Introduction The AcquaSaver valve is a fully automatic mechanical rainwater mains water changeover device designed for pressure pump supply systems for harvesting rainwater for the toilet laundry and household applications with automatic mains backup The AcquaSaver valve is designed to operate with a pump with an electronic pressure controller with auto restart not requiring a float switch The AcquaSaver valve can also operate with any pump with a pressure controller with or without a float switch Operation The AcquaSaver valve will always prioritize the use of rainwater over mains water when rainwater is available and will automatically switch over to mains water in the event of the rainwater tank running low or electrical failure When water has been replenished or power has been restored to the pump the AcquaSaver valve will automatically prioritize back to rainwater The pump is only active when rainwater is being drawn from the water tank it does not operate when the AcquaSaver valve has switched to mains position The pump controller starts and stops the pump when it detects a demand for example flushing a toilet or using a washing machine The operating mechanism of the AcquaSaver valve is a unique patent design it works by hydraulic water pressure created by the pump to close one inlet fully before opening the other inl2.
