Replacing Tank Pumps

In the absence of proper maintenance, rainwater tank pumps are prone to faulty operation without warning. The most common cause is a failure of the solenoid that controls the pump. It is possible that your water bills have started to go up if the pump has not switched to the tank water. It is likely that you have already encountered the inconvenience of no water if the pump has not been switched to the mains. We recommend that you contact us at 0439 442 996 if either of these situations has occurred to you. We will arrange a professional plumber to repair your tank pump. Our team will also inspect the other components of your rainwater tank and ensure that they are in good condition while we are there.
