Prerequisites for the appliance's
Caution
Create stability for the appliance prior to
any work on or with the appliance to pre-
vent accidents or damage.
The stability of the appliance is warranted
when it is placed onto an even surface.
With the ON/OFF switch the following three
operating conditions can be switched:
Switch position I/On
Continuous operation
Switch position 0/Off
Off
Switch position Auto
Automatic mode

System operation

In the automatic mode the house & garden
pumps automatically maintain the pressure
in the system. If the pressure falls below
approx. 0.13 MPa (1.3 bar), the pump is
started. The pump is running as long as the
flow rate
> is approx. 60 l/h. If the withdrawal of water
is completed, the pump goes into the stand-
by mode after a short stopping time. The
system is now under pressure. In case of
water withdrawal and the resulting loss of
pressure the pump starts again.
The eco!logic models do not con-
sume energy in the stand-by mode
(input power = 0 W).
