Product Description
Sumbersible Pump Kit for Rainwater Tank Submersible
This submersible pump kit is designed specifically for the Rainwater Tank Submersible tanks with filter. However it can be installed in any clean water tank up to 2.2m high.
It includes an XAJE80B SteelPump (pre-fitted with a Mac3 Key Recycled Float Switch) and 2m Pump to Turret connector.
XAJE80B Automatic 4 Bar Pump – Professional Quality
A powerful 0.8hp stainless steel pump, fully waterproof (IP68), submersible, and self-priming—ideal for domestic and garden non-potable water supply. It is fitted here with a float switch to prevent dry running in fully submerged installations. Perfect for rainwater harvesting, irrigation, car washing, and domestic water boosting.
This intelligent pump starts automatically when water is needed and stops when demand ends. It delivers higher-than-average UK tap pressure (4 bar), with performance depending on hose size and length. Anti-blocking system, dry-run protection, and a screw-in non-return valve are included as standard.
Designed for durability and comfort, it runs extremely quietly thanks to water-cooling, a stainless steel motor body, and advanced noise-absorption components—far quieter than air-cooled pumps. Resistant to frost, efficient in heat, and safe for occasional seawater duty.
For best results, filter rainwater before pumping using a quality diverter/filter.
Pump Warranty
This is a high quality professional pump that comes with a 2 year warranty when properly installed. SteelPumps are designed to be serviceable long into the future with common service components located behind an easy to remove electrical cover. The capacitor, pressure switch, flow sensor and control unit are all easily accessed.
Pump Repairs and Servicing
Disassembly of the entire pump is straightforward using basic tools, and ALL parts, including nuts and bolts, are available to order individually from the manufacturers website: wwww.steelpumps.co.uk. There are no corrodible mechanical parts within the pump, no potted electronics, no crimped wiring (everything unplugs). Service diagrams and information provided on request.
While other brands are ‘production engineered’ to be assembled fast and never taken apart, Steelpumps can be maintained for as long as spares are made. They are designed to last.
Float Switch
A Mac3 Key float switch made from recycled plastic floats in the water of the water-tank and as the water drops and rises either activates or de-activates the pump. The Float switch is pre-fitted to the pump your pump via a 3-way joiner on the pump cable. It is wired to turn the pump off when the water level gets low to ensure that the pump doesn't dry run.
Pump to Turret Connector
The 2m pump to turret connector screws onto the pump outlet (1.25"). The hose section is made from 32mm suction hose. The Connector has a 90 degree elbow
Optional Extras
Floating Intake Filter
If being used as a submersible pump in a tank we highly recommend fitting the pump with a Floating Intake Filter. This will ensure the cleanest water is pumped from the tank.
Pressure Vessel
We highly recommend you fit a pressure vessel to the water delivery pipework (after the pump). Pressure Vessels help increase the life of your automatic pump when there are leaks in your pipe network/taps. Read more about how Pressure Vessels work.
