Installing the unit
**WARNING**
Severe injuries or death due to operation of this unit in a swimming pond.
Defective electrical components will electrify the water with dangerous
electrical voltage.
- Never operate the unit in a swimming pond.
NOTE
If the pump is used for conveying excessively soiled water, the impeller unit
will be subject to increased wear and will require earlier replacement.
- Thoroughly clean the pond or pool before installing the pump.
- Install the pump at a raised level above the bottom. This reduces intake of muddy water.
How to proceed:
B
- Install the unit in the pond in a horizontal position on firm, sludge-free ground and ensure that it is completely covered with water.

Environmental Function Control (EFC)
When started up and then every 20 … 40 minutes the pump automatically performs
a pre-programmed self-test (Environmental Function Control (EFC)). The pump
detects if it is running dry / clogged or submerged. The pump shuts down
automatically after 60 to 120 seconds if it runs dry/is blocked. In the event
of a malfunction, disconnect the power supply and “flood the pump” or remove
the obstacle. Afterwards, the unit can be restarted.
Setting the flow rate
C
Setting the spray pattern and flow rate:
