The importance of a pump for your water tank
A static water tank provides a convenient water source, but it usually relies on gravity, which doesn’t generate much pressure. A water pressure pump can draw water from the tank and deliver it at a steady flow. These pumps are commonly used for household supply and garden irrigation, while rainwater pumps are designed specifically for reusing collected water.
Get more from your water tank with a pump
Adding a water pump can transform your water tank into a reliable supply. Explore the reasons why you might need one in your home.
Fix low water pressure
If you’re dealing with a weak shower, slow-filling bath, or taps that barely trickle, the issue may be the water coming from your tank. This is often the case if your tank is below your home, such as in a basement or underground, where gravity alone can’t push water upward.
A water pressure pump solves this by boosting the flow from your tank and delivering steady pressure to your taps, showers, and appliances.
Handling high-demand water use
Some situations call for more pressure than a standard tank can deliver. High-demand use includes running multiple taps at once, powering a strong shower, or operating a full garden irrigation system.
In these cases, a water pressure pump ensures your tank can keep up, providing the extra power needed to maintain a steady flow across your home and garden.
Making the most of collected rainwater
Collecting rainwater has many benefits. Your water tank stores this water until you need it, giving you a convenient source for your home and garden.
Our pumps draw water from the tank and provide the pressure needed for everything from your garden hose to your toilet cistern, ensuring a consistent flow while reducing your use of mains water.
How to choose your water pump
To make sense of the filter options on the left, it helps to know what each term means. The table below explains the key pump features and what to consider when choosing a pump for your home or garden.
| Feature | What it means & why it matters |
|---|---|
| Intended use | A pump for a small garden has different requirements than one for a full household water supply. Make sure the pump is recommended for your specific application, such as irrigation, a hand sprayer, or reusing rainwater. |
| Pump capacity & flow rate | This tells you how much water the pump can move in a given amount of time. You’ll need to match the capacity to your water needs. For example, a larger household will need a higher-capacity pump. |
| Delivery head | This refers to the maximum vertical distance a pump can push water. If your tank is in a basement or on the ground floor, you must choose a pump with a delivery head high enough to get water to your taps and showers on upper floors |
| Pressure vessel | Many pumps include a pressure vessel or pressure tank. This component stores water under pressure, which means the pump doesn’t have to switch on every time you turn on a tap. |
