Construction
These modern, powerful pumps are equipped with a single-phase alternating-current motor (canned motor
with capacitor). The motor is waterproof encapsulated in synthetic resin (IP68) and provided with an
overload protection.
Please refer to the type plate for technical specifications or the table on page 5.
Use
Centrifugal pump for submersible usage with resin encapsulated motor.
These stream pumps are intended for the transport of water in a garden pond, a fish pond, or a fountain, for
the operation of filter systems, steams, and waterfalls, etc., as well as for aeration and circulation of water.
The pump may not be used in or on the side of swimming pools!
Please refer to the type plate for technical specifications or the table on page 1.
Safety measures
- Caution! It may only be used in garden ponds and in their protection area if the electrical installations
have been set up to comply with the code's requirements. Please contact an electrician.
- Before use: Check whether mains connection and plug are intact.
- Mains voltage and type of current have to correspond to the data on the type plate.
- The pump has to be connected to a regular safety plug socket through a residual current device
(RCD, 30 mA).
- The connection box should be located in a water-protected area. It should be at least 2 m away
from the edge of the pond (see Fig.1).
- Keep the plug dry!
- Pull out mains plug before starting to work on the pump, fountain or pond.
It is not allowed to run the pump when people are inside the water! (disconnect the pump)
- Important! If the mains connection or the motor housing is damaged, the pump cannot be used anymore.
It cannot be repaired since the connection is cast into the motor housing.
- Never hang up or transport the pump by the cable!
- Operate the pump only when it is immersed in water!
Start-up (see fig. 1)
Important! Do not let the pump run „dry". This could cause damages to the appliance.
- Immerse the pump completely in your pond. This causes the pump body to be filled with water.
- A minimum water depth of 25 cm is required for underwater operation to avoid the pump taking in air.
- The maximum depth for submerged operation of the
pump is 2 m!
2 m
- The water temperature may not exceed 35°C.
- The pump must be protected from frost.
- The pump is switched on by putting the plug in the socket.
- To prevent the pump becoming unnecessarily dirty, place it above the sludge deposits in your pond, in a
firm and horizontal position (on a stone slab)!
- A range of accessories may be fitted onto the threaded connections of the pump.
- You can adjust the pump's flow rate (+/-) by turning the control knob (15)! (see Fig. 6)
- For operation, you may choose between the stainless steel screen (11, silver) and the plastic screen
(12, black)!
Overload protection
In case the pump is becoming overheated the built-in thermal overload trip switches it off.
The pump must cool down.
The pump will not start automatically without the necessary controlling when it is cool.
Check the following operating conditions:
- Is there a sufficient water supply?
- Has the filter become clogged?
- Has dirt entered the pump housing (Follow the cleaning instructions below)?
- Have hoses or jets become clogged?
- Has the pump cooled down?
As soon as you have solved the problems, you can switch on the pump again by pulling the plug out of the
socket and putting it in again after a short time (1 min.)
