Water is a necessity for everyday life whether it be for domestic, business or rural use.
In our modern society the application and usage of water has grown significantly since early pioneering days.
For urban households an independent supply of stored water can help keep garden and lawns picture perfect during dry times and help reduce the overall cost of water utilities.
In unrestricted rural areas water storage is far more critical, as it is often the only source of supply for drinking, laundry and hygiene.
Stored water is also necessary for providing cool clean water for large and small stock animals, poultry and pets, gardens and swimming pools.

Pumps »
To ensure adequate delivery and water pressure at multiple outlets throughout your home and property a correctly sized elective pumping system is essential.
Recent advances in pumping systems means that households now have a choice from either the traditional pressure pump unit or a electronic controlled constant pressure unit.
As a rule of thumb, when sizing the appropriate pumping unit allows for the following:
Toilet – 9 ltr/min
Shower – 10ltr – 15ltr/min
Household taps 10 – 15ltr/min
Dishwasher 10-15ltr/m
Garden hose 2ltr/min
Pumps available include : DAVEY, GRUNFOS,DAB AND CLAYTECH
Poly pipe & fittings »
Moving the water from your storage tank to your household reticulation system is via poly pipe.
Available in pressure pump grade / rural (rated up to 600kpa) or mains pressure (1200kpa rating) the two varieties of pipe are readily identified by: Green stripe – Rural and Blue stripe – mains pressure. Both varieties of pipe are available in sizes ranging from 13mm (1/2”) up to 50mm (2”) diameters.
Apart from the different pressure rating of the pipe the other variation is the method of measuring the pipe’s diameter. For the rural grade (green stripe) the inside diameter of the pipe is required while the high pressure (metric/Blue line) you measure the outside diameter. These measurements are critical especially when sizing the appropriate pressure fittings.
Gleam O Dawn sources its poly pipe and fittings from Australian manufacture Iplex.
Pressure fittings »
The advent of high density polmers has revolutionized the plumbing market making it much simpler for the D.I.Y. enthusiast to lay and connect basic household water reticulation systems.
Once again, compression fittings are available as Rural (pump pressure) or Metric(mains pressures) configurations.
Philmac, an Australian manufacturer, supplies Gleam O Dawn with the complete range of compression fittings, bushes, nipples, risers and many more fittings necessary for most household/acreage applications.
To assist staff with the correct selection of your compression fitting, a short piece of the poly pipe being used would help identify the correct size and type.
