This appliance is not suitable for use by persons (including children) with limited physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lacking experience and/or knowledge, except if they are supervised by a person responsible
for their safety or have been instructed in the use of the appliance.
Children should be supervised in order to make sure that they do not play with the appliance.
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 2 + 3.
Use
These pumps are designed for the transport of water, for the operation of filter systems,water displays,
waterfalls, etc., as well as for oxygenating and circulating the water.
Area of application: garden ponds, fishponds, outdoor and patio fountains!
- Attention! Use in garden ponds and their protected zone is permitted only if the installation is
performed in compliance with the applicable regulations. Please consult a licensed electrician.
- Before performing any work on the pump, the fountain, or the pond, disconnect the mains
plug. Do not operate the pump if people are in the water! (disconnect the pump from the power
source)
Area of application: swimming pond or swimming pool (if people are in the water)!
Pump suitable for installation and operation in systems and rooms according to DIN VDE 0100 Part 702 and
Part 737, if the erection requirements per DIN VDE 100 and the manufacturer’s specifications (assembly
and operating instructions) are followed.
Installation of these pumps at swimming ponds or swimming pools must comply with the following
standards: DIN EN 13451 Part 1 to Part 8, and DIN VDE 0100 Part 702 and Part 737.
Attention! Here operation of the pump is permitted only if the pump is permanently installed outside
of the water at least 2 m or more away from the pool.
The following measures must be undertaken: (see fig. 2)
- Build a shaft with pedestal for the pump, at least 2 m away from the edge of the water.
- Protect the shaft with a cover.
- To protect the pump from flooding build a drain for the shaft.
- Attach the pump to the pedestal with screws.
- Install a “M” metal socket in the suction line, toward the pump, to connect to the equipotential bonding
of the swimming pond/swimming pool system!
- Please consult a licensed electrician. Also refer to “Non submersible use” and “Safety Measures.”
Safety measures
- Before use: Check whether mains lead and plug are intact.
- Mains voltage and kind of current have to conform to the information on the type plate.
- The pump may only be connected to a proper earthing-contact type socket through a residual
current device (RCD, 30 mA).
- The connection box should be located in a water-protected area and at least 2 m away from the
edge of the water (see fig. 1).
- Always keep the plug dry.
- Important! If the mains lead or the motor housing are damaged, the pump cannot be used anymore. It
cannot be repaired since the lead is permanently encapsulated in the motor housing.
- Do never hang up or transport the pump by the mains lead.
Start-up (see fig. 1 - 3)
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
2 m
pump is 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.
- The supplied screen inserts are sufficient as protection from intake in clear water.
