What Is an External Pump?
An external pump is mounted outside your water tank, typically on a concrete pad or sturdy platform adjacent to the tank. These pumps draw water from your tank through an inlet pipe and distribute it throughout your home's plumbing system. Their accessible location makes them a practical choice for many Australian households. For comparison, also check out the Submersible Pump range.
