By following these guidelines, you can efficiently operate the bore pump and manage water usage effectively.

Water Usage:

• After usage, ensure all water taps are switched off to prevent unnecessary wastage.
• Do not leave water tubs or containers filled if they are not in use. This helps conserve water and prevent overflow.
• Please read our water usage guidelines.

Switching on the Bore Pump:

If the float switch is not working: Turn it on manual and this will then turn on the pump to fill up the tanks.

To do this you need to adjust the Switch in the Float Switch board to “Manual” or “Automatic”.

It would be necessary to check this three times a day at specific intervals: 7:00 AM (or earlier), 1:00 PM, and 5:00 PM.

Leave the pump running until water flows out from the water tank, indicating that it’s adequately filled.

This just needs to be done if there is an issue with the float switch!

Issues usually just happen if someone leaves a tap on especially overnight.

 

Water Tank & Pump Instructions

• Top switch → Rabbit area (in the photo switched OFF)

• Middle switch → Julia’s tank (always just half switched ON)

• Bottom switch → Main house tank (currently switched ON) – switch off when both tanks are full.

⚠️ Important After Filling Tanks

Once all tanks are completely full:

1. ✅ Switch OFF all power switches
