With our reliable **Plug&Rain® pumps**, you can optimally supply your **garden**—efficiently and reliably. ## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) ## How can I connect the automatic irrigation system to my drinking water network? With the [**Plug&Rain® Tap Connector**](https://dvs-beregnung.de/faucet-connector-plug-rain-different-versions), you can easily connect your **garden irrigation** to your existing **water supply**. The advantage: thanks to the two-way distribution, you can connect your **irrigation system** while still having the option for manual **water** **withdrawal** with a watering can, hose, or bucket. Using a flexible stainless steel pipe, the **water** is aesthetically guided from the distributor down to the ground. Here, the transition to the PE pipe selected during **planning** (25 mm or ¾", or 32 mm or 1", depending on the available **water volume** and length of the pipeline) is made via a high-quality clamp connector that is permanently pressure-resistant up to 16 bar. If you are using **drinking water**, take a look at our separation stations for drinking water protection. ## What is a drinking water separation station/system separator, and when do I need it? The safety of **drinking water** has top priority. If you use **drinking**water for your **garden irrigation**, a [**separation station**](https://dvs-beregnung.de/drinking-water-separation-station-for-sprinkler-systems) is not only sensible but also mandatory. It protects against backflow and contamination, so you don't have to worry about water quality. This ensures that your **irrigation** **system** not only operates efficiently but also meets the highest safety standards. For underground **irrigation systems**, a Category 5 separation station is installed; it has a free outlet and prevents **water** from the **garden** from being pushed back into the mains supply. It also prevents a biofilm from growing back into the drinking water network from stagnant areas. ## Do I really need a drinking water separation station? When using **drinking w**ater for **garden irrigation**, a **drinking water separation** station, also called a **system separator**, is required according to **DIN EN 1717** if the **DIN 1717** requirements are not already met in another way. This prevents **water** and impurities from flowing back from the irrigation circuit into the drinking water system. According to **DIN 1717**, a check valve is not sufficient. ## How does a drinking water separation station work? A **drinking water separation station** should be used wherever **drinking water** needs to be protected from contamination and germs. The unpressurized storage tank is equipped with a safety overflow in accordance with **DIN EN 1717** and serves for demand-oriented drinking water replenishment to protect the **drinking water installation** against contamination, backflow, and mixing with contaminated **water** using a safety device. The installed multistage centrifugal pump ensures sufficient water pressure. The associated pressure control regulates the pump based on flow volume and pressure. In the event of a pressure loss (opening of consumers), the pump automatically switches on. As soon as the maximum pressure is restored (consumers closed) and there is no more flow, the pump switches off again. Additionally, the pressure control includes dry-run protection, which switches off the pump if it runs dry, thus protecting it from damage. A proportional valve with a float ensures that the correct amount of drinking water always flows into the storage tank. ## Am I allowed to install a drinking water separation station myself? **Installations** on the drinking water network may only be carried out by qualified professionals. Please contact your plumber for the **installation of the separation station**. ## Will the drinking water separation station be noisy if I install it indoors? The **drinking water separation station** itself has a noise level of approximately 58 dB, about as loud as a normal conversation at room volume. However, it is possible to install the **system separato**r with sound insulation. To prevent noise from being transmitted through the **pipes**, the **separation station** can be mounted with flexible hoses. ## Can I install a drinking water separation station outdoors? Typically, **system separators** are installed indoors because they contain sensitive electrical components. If you wish to install your **separation station** outdoors, please check the manufacturer's specifications to see if the product is suitable for outdoor use. ## How do I choose the right pump for my irrigation system? The choice of **water pump** depends on the size of your **garden** and the type of **water source** you want to use—whether it's a well, cistern, or another water reservoir. You can read the **delivered** **water** **volume** of the selected **pump** from its performance diagram. **Automatic lawn irrigation** requires an operating pressure of 3.5 bar, which corresponds to a delivery head of 35 meters, plus the actual delivery height. We often design **irrigation systems** with 1.8 m³/h at 3.5 bar using ¾" pipes. The distance from the **water supply** to the last sprinkler should not exceed 70 m. Feel free to learn more about the **pumps** [here](https://blog.dvs-beregnung.de/2024/11/19/welche-wasserpumpenarten-gibt-es-und-welche-ist-fuer-dein-vorhaben-geeignet/). ## What should I consider when buying a water pump? When purchasing a **water pump**, various factors should be considered. First, the intended use is crucial: do you need the **pump** for **irrigating** your **garden** or for supplying water to your house? Different **pump types** are available depending on the application area. Important criteria include the **flow rate** and **delivery head**, as well as the type of **water** to be pumped. Careful selection ensures that the **pump** is optimally suited to your needs and operates efficiently. The pump should match your project's performance requirements and should neither be over- nor under-dimensioned. We recommend a pressure tank to avoid pressure surges and to prevent the pump from switching on and off too frequently. ## What do I need if I want to irrigate using a cistern? If you want to **irrigate** with **rainwater** from a **cistern**, you'll need a special **cistern pump**. These **pumps** are designed to pump water from cisterns. Cistern pumps, like the [**Plug&Rain® Cistern Pump**](https://dvs-beregnung.de/zisternenpumpe-set-plug-rain-eco-pedrollo-top-multi-evotech-2_1), are ideal because they operate quietly and require little space. Variants with **floating intakes** ensure that the clean **water** just below the surface is drawn. It's best to install the **cistern pump** with a **filter unit** in the supply line. Using a **filter** prevents nozzles and drip tubes from clogging, thus extending the lifespan of your **system**. With the right **pump**, you can efficiently use **rainwater** and **irrigate** your **garden** environmentally friendly. ## What makes a good cistern pump? A good **cistern pump** is characterized by sufficient pumping capacity and energy efficiency to ensure the required water pressure and save operating costs. It should be made from robust, corrosion-resistant materials to extend its lifespan. User-friendly **installation** and maintenance-friendly features are also important, as is **automatic control** that provides additional convenience and protection. Additionally, a low noise level is advantageous. Finally, the **pump** should be reliable and tailored to the specific requirements regarding delivery head and application. ## What are the advantages of a cistern pump? **Cistern pumps** enable the efficient use of **rainwater**, contributing to the conservation of **drinking** **water**.

The electric **drinking water replenishment** feeds in **drinking water** as needed when the **cistern** level falls below the minimum water level. Refilling occurs according to drinking water protection regulations per **DIN EN 1717** via a free outlet. In case of water shortage or low water level, a float switch automatically activates the 220 V solenoid valve, refilling the **cistern** as needed. The **drinking water** is supplied via a free outlet in accordance with DIN EN 13076 Type AA. The float should be set so that an entire **irrigation** can be carried out with the **water volume** in the **cistern**. ## What are the advantages of a diaphragm pressure tank? These tanks prevent water hammer damage in the **system** and ensure that the **pump** cycles less frequently. This not only extends the **pump's** lifespan but also protects the pipes from abrupt pressure spikes. ## Why should I choose a well pump? If a steady inflow of **groundwater** is guaranteed even during dry summers, **well water** is a cost-effective solution for **garden irrigation**. Use a [**Plug&Rain® Well Pump**](https://dvs-beregnung.de/well-pump-set-plug-rain-ameira-4-inch-3-9-expert) along with a **filter unit**.
