Connecting your Stormwater to the Water Tank
Wet Earth recommends using a Leaf filter (Frogmouth Filter or Leaf Eater/Leaf Beater) to keep leaves and other debris out of your tank.
We suggest that you consider installing a first flush diverter system. Whether this is required will depending on local regulations, your location and what you plan to use your water for.
Get from your tank to the pump
The following assumes that your pump will be within 2 meters of your tank.
Pump
 The most appropriate pump depends on a lot of factors. We recommend constant pressure pumps for use with water tanks for the following reasons:
- they have run dry protection - so when you tank is empty your pump will not run - preventing pump damage;
- they support taps, timers and trigger nozzle hoses - ie you open a tap the pump will switch on - close the tap the pump will switch off;
Use our House Pump Selector to select a pump which suits your requirements and your price range.
Fittings after your pump
Cascading Water Tanks
If you are planning to have multiple tanks then you can use the following to join them.
Option A: You have a new outlet fitted.
Option B: You place a Tee fitting after the outlet of one of your tanks - one side goes to the outlet of your other tank and the otherside goes to your pump.
Only one of your tanks needs to have its overflow configured as long as the tanks are located at the same height.
