Installing a JoJo tank to reap rainwater or as back-up storage to municipal water supply is step one in water storage for most householders. But as soon as the tank is in place and related, choosing the proper pump can be a challenge.
Luckily, JoJo has a variety of pump options to select from. Before making your choose, ask your self these questions:
QUESTION 1:
Where is the JoJo set up on your property, and is noise a factor to consider? If your tanks are near a bed room window and the pump is connected to a toilet, you don’t want a noisy pump that will wake you up in the midst of the evening if a member of the family uses the loo! The same applies if your tanks are on the property’s borders – angry WhatsApps from neighbours shouldn’t be part of your water storage journey.
JoJo’s Variable Speed Drive pumps provide constant water stress and boast noise levels below 60dB. To put this into perspective: 60dB is the sound a normal air conditioner makes when it’s operating. With a Centrifugal Pump, you might be able to move bigger volumes of water, but these pumps sometimes have noise levels between 60 and 74dB.

But in case your JoJo tanks are linked to your showers and toilets, and an irrigation system for your garden, a stronger pump is critical – once more, bear in mind to consider noise ranges whenever you install a bigger pump. If necessary, select a special position in your JoJo set up so noise does not turn into a difficulty.
