Operation
Operation
- Plug the mains plug into the socket.
- Switch the device on with the ON/OFF switch.
Note
Pump starts immediately. Wait until the pump sucks in and delivers evenly,
then close the stop valves in the pressure line.
After reaching the switch-off pressure, the pressure switch switches off the
motor. The storage tank is now filled, the domestic water supply is ready for
operation.
If there is no water supply, the switch-off pressure is not reached and the
pressure switch can no longer shut off the device. This heats up the water in
the pump head.
To prevent damage to the pump due to overheating, the power supply is
interrupted by the thermal switch in the event of overheating. After cooling
down, the power supply is restored.
Note
The cooling time until the engine restarts can be up to 150 minutes.
We recommend the use of a dry-running protection device (see special
accessories) for regular protection against water shortage.
ATTENTION
Risk of injury, the system is pressurised!
When opening a pressurised system, you can be injured by flying parts.
Depressurise the device before opening the connections (for pressure, see
chapter Technical data)
Ending operation
- Switch off the device at the ON/OFF switch.
- Unplug the device at the mains plug.
Care and maintenance
DANGER
Danger of electric shock.
Always switch the device off and disconnect the mains plug before working on
the device.
The device is maintenance-free.
Pressure relief
- Open and close connected stop valves for pressure relief.
The system is depressurised.
Note
Rinse the pump with clear water after each use when pumping water with
additives.
Check the pressure of the air filling in the storage tank
- Check the pressure of the air filling in the storage tank every six months, if necessary top up to 2.0 bar when the device is switched off/depressurised (unplug the device,
open the water tap)
Note
The type plate is located below the cover. Unscrew the cover in an anti-
clockwise direction.

Troubleshooting guide
Malfunctions often have simple causes that you can remedy yourself using the
following overview. When in doubt, or in the case of malfunctions not
mentioned here, please contact your authorised Customer Service.
Fault | Cause | Rectification |
---|---|---|
Pump is running, but not delivering | There is air in the pump. | 1. See |
chapter Preparation
The air cannot escape on the pressure side.| 1. Open the tapping point on the
pressure
side.
No water available.| 1. Check the water reservoir.
The pump does not start up, or stops suddenly during operation| The power
supply is disconnected.| 1. Check the fuses and the electrical connec-
tions.
Thermal protection switch in the motor has switched off the pump due to over-
heating of the motor.| 1.Pull out the mains plug.
2.Allow the pump to cool down.
3.Clean the suction area.
4.Prevent dry running.
Note
The cooling time until the motor starts can be up to 150 minutes.
The pump switches itself off and also on again| The thermal protection fuse
has switched off the pump to protect it from overheat- ing or switched it on
again after it has cooled down.| 1. To prevent recurrence, the system should
be checked for leaks and sealed.
The motor restarts imme-
diately after switching off| The pressure in the system is lost.| 1. Check
the connections including seals and
check for water leakage. The slightest leakage affects operation.
The air pressure in the storage tank is too low.| 1. Fill the storage tank
with 2.0 bar (see chap-
ter Care and maintenance).
The return valve does not close properly.| 1. Check the check valve on the
suction side.
The membrane in the pressure tank is defective.| 1. Have the membrane
replaced.
The pump capacity drops or is too low| The suction filter or the check valve
(spe- cial accessory) are contaminated.| 1. Clean the suction filter or the
check valve
(special accessory).
The delivery rate of the pump depends on the delivery head and the connected
periphery.| 1. Observe the max. delivery head (see chap-
ter Specifications) Select a different hose diameter or a different hose
length if necessary.
Vibrating noise during water removal| The membrane in the pressure tank vi-
brates.| 1. An operating noise that can be eliminated
by reducing the pressure of the air filling in the storage tank.
