Abstract:
A pressurized water supply system for use in a location having no mains water supply, which supply system comprises a water tank, a water outlet tap, a water pipe connecting the tank to the tap, a water pump assembly installed in said water pipe and including a low-voltage dc pump motor, and a pressure sensitive switch arranged to monitor the water pressure in the pipe between the pump and the tap and arranged to operate the pump when the switch detects a pressure below a pre-set low value, characterized in that there is provided a manually-triggerable timer disposed adjacent the tap and which timer inhibits operation of the pump despite the pressure sensitive switch detecting low water pressure below said pre-set low value other than during a timed period following manual triggering of the timer, and said timer requiring manual resetting by a user for each subsequent timed period.
