With RAINMASTER D or Float switch
INTEWA supplemental supply units can be used for DIN suitable mains water supply on systems using submersible pumps. The supplemental supply unit is connected to the mains water line with a flexible pressure hose and overflow screw- in fitting. Depending on the model, a float switch or sensor, installed in the tank, activates by the RAINMASTER D a smoothly operating 14 V DC valve when rainwater in the tank runs low. The mains water fills the tank via the EN1717 regulated “air gap“. The supplemental supply unit is delivered complete with wall mounting clamp, funnel, discharge hose and mounting material, and comes in two different models:
Installation with system
The most common installation for a system with supplemental supply unit is illustrated in the figure below. In contrast to the RAINMASTER unit it is important that the overflow is installed above the backwater level since there is a connection by the pipework between the cistern and basement. Otherwise there is a chance that water from the sewer could enter the basement if there is a back-wash.

Assembly, Installation and Maintenance
The INTEWA supplemental supply unit minimizes installation time. An improper iInstallation of the “air gap“, as per DIN EN1717 is barred. The supplemental supply unit is to be installed above the so-called backwater level. As a general rule, the backwater level is usually above street level.
- The top edge of the funnel must be > 20 cm above the backwater level.
- An additional adequate diameter emergency overflow must be fitted.
- The supplemental supply (1) is to be fed frost-proof via a calming pot into the tank
- A submersible pump delivers the water to the consumption points
Refill unit with 230 volt float switch:
- During - installation in the tank this unit should not be connected to the mains power..
- The float switch should be set to the desired height for on/off activation by adjustment of the cable weight.
- After installation, the unhindered movement range of the float switch should be checked.
