ClayTech INOX240A – Multistage Pump + Controller
Why this pump?
The Claytech Self-Priming Inox Series multi-stage pump is well-known for its quiet, reliable service in the Australian market. Designed for a larger Australian home, it is more energy efficient than a jet pump but is self-priming to a depth of 4m. This makes it ideal for above and below ground rainwater tanks. It has automatic operation with loss of prime protection and 24 hour restart to see whether there is water in the rainwater tank. Ideal for whole of house installations.
Key Benefits
- Multi-stage pump
- Quiet, reliable operation
- Designed for larger homes
- Self-Priming, automatic operation
- High flow, flat consistent performance curve
- 24-hour restart to see whether there is water in the tank
- Complies with AS/NZS 4020 requirements
Aquatron Controller
-
- It allows automatic pump operation: It starts the pump when the tap is turned on and stops it about 10 seconds after the tap is turned off.
- It protects the pump from dry operation: It stops the pump when there is no flow of water, thus preventing possible damage to the pump. This alarm is indicated by the LED called FAILURE on the front of the device.
- It ensures constant flow and pressure.

How does the AcquaSaver Work?
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 rainwater 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 inlet. This ensures an extremely reliable mechanism using few moving parts and no electronic components and no energy consumption.
