Hyjet MHR Series

Hyjet MHR20 – Compact Hydraulic Rains/Mains Water Changeover Pump for Reliable Water Switching

  • The Hyjet MHR20 is a dependable and compact solution for water supply systems that use both rainwater and mains water. Designed for homes, small buildings, and irrigation systems, this pump includes a Hydraulic Rains/Mains water changeover valve that automatically selects the water source—ensuring a steady water flow at all times.

    Thanks to its smart design, the MHR20 makes switching between rainwater and mains water seamless, energy-efficient, and maintenance-free.


    Automatic Water Source Selection

    At the heart of the MHR20 is a fully integrated Hydraulic Rains/Mains water changeover valve. This valve automatically switches the water supply source from rainwater to mains when the tank is empty. When rainwater becomes available again, the system returns to using it—without any user input.

    This not only saves money on water bills but also supports sustainable water usage. As a result, the pump reduces reliance on mains water and makes better use of rainwater stored in tanks.


    How the Hydraulic Rains/Mains Water Changeover Works

    Unlike electric valves, the Hydraulic Rains/Mains water changeover in the MHR20 pump uses hydraulic pressure to manage the switch. When there’s enough rainwater in the tank, the valve remains open, allowing rainwater to flow through. However, when the rainwater tank runs dry, the valve senses the lack of pressure and automatically opens the mains line.

    This smooth transition ensures the user experiences no drop in water pressure. In addition, it requires no electricity, which means it keeps working during power failures.


    Designed for Everyday Use

    The MHR20 is ideal for a wide range of residential and light commercial applications. It supplies water to toilets, laundry machines, garden taps, and irrigation systems. As long as clean water is needed, this pump delivers it efficiently.

    Moreover, the built-in Hydraulic Rains/Mains water changeover system makes it ideal for places where people want to use tank water first—but need the reliability of mains water as backup.


    Compact Yet Powerful

    Don’t let the size fool you. The Hyjet MHR20 offers excellent water pressure for domestic systems. It can deliver up to 45 litres per minute and reach a maximum head of 32 metres, making it suitable for multi-level homes or long pipe runs.

    Because of its compact design, the pump fits into tight spaces. You can install it inside a tank cover, a pump housing, or even in a small utility area.


    Quiet and Energy-Efficient Operation

    In addition to being compact, the MHR20 runs quietly. This is especially important in residential settings where loud motors may disturb the peace. Its motor is designed to run with minimal vibration and noise.

    Also, since the Hydraulic Rains/Mains water changeover valve requires no power, overall energy use stays low. This improves the system’s efficiency and keeps operating costs down.


    Durable Build for Long-Term Reliability

    The MHR20 is built with durable and rust-resistant materials. Its pump housing is made from stainless steel, which helps resist corrosion, even in humid or wet environments. The motor features thermal overload protection, which prevents damage if the pump overheats or runs dry.

    The Hydraulic Rains/Mains water changeover valve is made of high-quality brass and plastic components. This ensures a long lifespan with very little need for servicing.


    Installation is Quick and Simple

    Installing the MHR20 is straightforward. It comes preassembled with the Hydraulic Rains/Mains water changeover valve and does not require wiring or complex programming.

    Most users can connect it with basic plumbing tools. This makes the pump suitable for new home builds, retrofits, or upgrades to older systems.


    No Electrical Controls Needed

    A major advantage of the Hydraulic Rains/Mains water changeover system is that it works without electronic sensors or switches. Many systems on the market rely on electronic solenoids, which can fail or malfunction over time.

    Instead, the MHR20 uses water pressure to activate the valve. This makes it more reliable in areas prone to electrical surges or power cuts. It also means less maintenance, fewer parts to replace, and improved reliability over the long term.


    Ideal for Water Efficiency and Sustainability

    More homeowners are turning to rainwater harvesting as a way to reduce their mains water use. With the MHR20 pump, you can efficiently use stored rainwater for toilets, washing machines, and outdoor taps—without having to manually switch valves or controls.

    And when rainwater is not available, the Hydraulic Rains/Mains water changeover ensures your system will never run dry.
