Installation
WARNING
Risk of electric shock – This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and
grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be
certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded, grounding-type
receptacle.
Important:
- Always place the unit below water level.
- It is recommened to place the unit horizontally on the ground ensuring its stable position.
- Do not lift the pump by its power cord. Use the handle to lift and maneuver the pump.
- For maximum water flow, it is recommended that the largest tubing size for your pump is used.
- If needed, cut the adapter as shown using a hacksaw; consult packaging for tubing size.
- Attach the adapter to the pump first, then connect tubing to the adapter. NOTE : Tubing is NOT INCLUDED.
Start-up
The unit switches on automatically when power connection is established.
- Switching on: Connect power plug to the socket.
- Switching off: Disconnect the power plug.
Maintenance and cleaning
Attentio n! Dangerous electrical voltage. Possible consequences: Death or serious injuries. Protective measures:
- Electrical units and installations with a rated voltage of U > 12 V AC or U >30 V DC located in the water: Isolate the units and installations (switch off and disconnect from the power supply) before reaching into the water.
- Isolate the unit before starting any work.
- Secure the unit to prevent unintentional switching on.
WARNING
This pump uses a very strong magnet to achieve superior performance. When
removing the impeller assembly there will be considerable magnetic force
resisting the extraction of the impeller assembly. This is normal. Likewise
when replacing the impeller assembly there will be a strong magnetic force
pulling the assembly into the pump to potentially cause injury to fingers and
in rare cases damaging the ceramic shaft or rear bearing. Use thick gloves
when replacing the impeller assembly.
Cleaning the unit
- Regular cleaning of the pump may be necessary depending upon the environment in which it is operated. Clean the pump when it is visibly soiled or when a drop in performance is detected. Clean the unit with warm water using a soft brush.
- Never use aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solutions. These could attack the housing surface or impair the function.
- In the event of stubborn furring (calcium deposits), a common household cleaner free from vinegar and chlorine can be used. Subsequently, clean the pump thoroughly using warm water.
Cleaning the pump
- Disconnect the pump from the power source
- Disconnect the tubing.
- Disassemble the screen and remove the impeller housing to expose the impeller assembly.
- Remove the impeller assembly by pulling on the back round plate behind the impeller
- Use a soft cloth or brush to clean the impeller assembly and the inside of the impeller housing.
- Reassemble in the reverse order.
Storage/Winterization
- Put the unit out of operation at water temperatures below 46 °F (8 °C) or, at the latest, when freezing temperatures are to be expected.
- Thoroughly clean the unit, check for damage.
- Ensure that the storage place is inaccessible to children.
Wear parts
