Product Description
Overview
1| Inlet 1 (suction side)
·Filter housing
---|---
2| Inlet 2 (suction side)
· Connection of a satellite filter or skimmer.
· The flow rate at inlet 2 and with it the flow ratio of inlet 1 to inlet 2 is adjustable. To do so, re- lease the locking mechanism and push the connection to one of the following positions:
– Position 0: Inlet 2 is closed, water flow only via inlet 1.
– Position 1/2/3: Inlet 2 is open by approx. 25/50/75 %; meaning water flow via inlet 1 and 2 ac- cording to set intake ratio.
– Position 4: Inlet 1 is closed, water flow only via inlet 2.
3| Outlet (pressure side)
· Connection of the return line into the pond (e.g. via a water course).
4| Power cable
5| Hose sleeve for outlet (recommendation).
6| Stepped hose adapter for inlet 2 and outlet (alternative).
7| Cover cap for closing inlet 2 when it is not in use.
8| Hose clips for fastening hoses on the hose sleeves.
9| Rubber feet for pump holder for dry installation.
Installation variants
- Variant (a): Water flow only via the filter housing (inlet 1).
- Set inlet 2 to position “0”.
- Close inlet 2 using the cover cap.
- Variant (b): Water flow via the filter housing (inlet 1) and additionally via a satellite filter or a skimmer on inlet 2.
- Set inlet 2 to position “1”, “2” or “3”, depending on the desired flow ratio (25/50/75 %).
- Variant (c): Water flow only via a satellite filter or a skimmer on inlet 2.
- Set inlet 2 to position “4”.
- Variant (d): Dry pump installation.
- This variant requires the pump to be installed without a filter housing.
- The pump is installed outside of the pond but lower than the water level.
Seasonal Flow Control (SFC)
Nur AquaMax Eco Premium 12000, 16000 und 20000
With the SFC function activated, the pump automatically optimises and reduces the amount of water and the delivery head by up to 50%. Thanks to the SFC function the pump adapts to the individual pond ecology throughout the year and supports the pond biology through tempera-ture-dependent circulation (winter mode, transition mode and summer mode).
The SFC function is switched on and off at the pump. The SFC function reduces the power consumption of the pump; without SFC, the pump permanently operates at maximum throughput. The seasonal flow control does not function when the pump is installed on land (dry installation). If a skimmer, satellite filter or Oase InScenio control unit is used, we recommend deactivating the SFC depending on the unit.
Installation and connection
The pump can be installed submerged (in water) or dry (outside the water).
The use of the pump is only permitted with observance of the specified water
quality.
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.
CAUTION
Rotating components in the intake and pressure socket area. Risk of injury
when reaching into the sockets.
In particular, observe the following: A unit that has stopped due to overload
can start up unexpectedly!
- Do not reach into the opening of the intake socket or pressure socket while the power plug is plugged in.
- If the sockets are freely accessible during operation, e.g. if no hoses are connected, use a hand guard to secure the sockets. The hand guard is available as an accessory.
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 of the pond. This reduces intake of muddy water.
Avoid direct sunlight on unit components that are not submerged, as they may overheat. If necessary, use a protective cover.
Submerged installation of the pump
Connecting
Connect the pump according to the desired installation variant.
B Do not plug the power plug into the socket yet!
Installation
- Place the pump horizontally on a stable, mud-free surface.
- Ensure secure and stable positioning of the pump.
- Only operate the pump when it is fully submerged.
The pull rope allows you to simply pull the pump from the water.
- Fasten the pull rope on the bottom filter casing through the round openings and make a knot.
Commissioning/start-up
NOTE
Prevent the pump from running dry. Otherwise the pump will be destroyed.
-
Only operate the pump when it is submerged or flooded.
Switching ON/OFF -
Switching on: Plug the power plug into the outlet.
- The unit switches on immediately.
-
Switching off: Pull the power plug from the outlet.
Environmental Function Control (EFC)
When started up, the pump automatically performs a pre-programmed self-test
(Environmental Function Control (EFC)). The pump detects if it is running dry
/ blocked or submerged. The pump shuts down automatically after 60 to 120
seconds if it runs dry/is blocked. In the event of a mal-function, disconnect
the power supply and “flood the pump” or remove the obstacle. Afterwards, the
unit can be restarted.
