The ACTIVE SWITCH unit is used for the management anddistribution of rain water. The unit detects the lack of water in both rain water and mains collection system and corrects it to guarantee that the system operates correctly (or rather, it never lets the identified users run out of water). The system is generally limited to irrigation,washing machine, WC flushing tank and floor cleaner systems.The main objective of the ACTIVE SWITCH system is togive priority to the use of rain water over that of the mainswater. When the rain water contained in the collection tank is insufficient, the control unit passes to the mains water supply thereby ensuring a flow of water at the extraction points (The water supplied by the unit is not drinkable). The connectionbetween the rain water collection tank and the mains water collection tank, which is integrated into the system, is selected by a three-way valve fitted to the pump suction.The pump operates exactly the same as a pump with a "startstop" system using flow and pressure control. When the pressure drops below the set value the pump starts, when the tap is turned off the pump stops, if there is a lack of water the pump stops and a warning is signalled on the pump's control panel. After a preset time the pump automatically starts againand if all operations are within the set parameters the pumpcarries on operating normally. The system also includes aspecial anti-stench and anti-draining trap.
Constructional features
The system comprises a recyclable polyethilene tank, an automatic pump Active EI 30/50 M series and a three-way automatic valve assembled on suction port of the pump.
The system has been designed to be wall-mounted. Supplied with wall bracket and float switch with 20 mt. of cable as standard.
