INTRODUCTION

We would like to congratulate you on the purchase of our pump. We appreciate your trust.
That‘s why functional security and operational safety stand by us on the first place.
To prevent damage to persons or property, you should read this user manual carefully. Please observe all safety precautions and instructions for proper use of the pump. Failure to follow the instructions and safety precautions can result in injury or property damage.
Please keep this manual with the instructions and safety instructions carefully to at any time you can restore them. Please always download the latest version of the user manual of www.profi-pumpe.de under „downloads“. This shall always prevail.

IN GENERAL

The pumps are developed according to the newest standard of technology, manufactured with much care and go under strict intensive controls.
These pumps were optimized by us in particular for the special demands in dirty water areras.
Make sure after unpacking the pump that the data given on the type label matches the included
operating instructions. In case of doubt, the pump is not to be used.
Transport damages are immediately to be reported to the package distributor and to us in written form.

RANGES OF APPLICATION

The pumps are designed for pumping abrasive-free dirty water (Dirt-Star) / clean water (Clean-Star) up to a particle size of 35mm. Abrasive components have a negative abrasive effect and reduce the lifetime of your pump. While e.g. leaves are crushed without any problems and do not cause any damage inside, sand or aggressive substances are harmful quite quickly. The abrasive particles attack the surface or grind it away. Enormous wear and tear occur, which is not covered by the warranty or guarantee.
The pumps are made for the following ranges of applications:

Filling and emptying rain tanks and containers
For water re-circulation
For rainwater use in house and garden
Pumping water from a brook a stream
Use in a pond
Others

IMPORTANT!

The pumps are designed for pumping abrasive-free dirty water (Dirt-Star) / clean water (Clean-Star), free from aggressive chemical substances. Any guarantee is void in case of improper use. They are not suitable for pumping flammable liquids or for use in places where there is a danger of an explosion. The pumps are designed for home use in the house and garden. In continuous operation mode, the lifetime will be shortened accordingly. Never run more than 5 minutes against a closed valve pump. Save the pump against dry running (install dry run protection). Never start and stop the pump more than 20 times per hour. When the pump clocks, any claim under warranty is void. Not suitable for use with solar photovoltaic panels. Submersible pumps may not be used in swimming pools.

OPERATION

The installation must be performed by a qualified professional. Please, check each time before using, the electrical connections and the cables are not damaged. Check before the installation whether the electrical connections are earthed according to the statutory regulations and are installed. The pump is to be secured through a RCD circuit breaker with a release current of 30 mA. is technically correct, so this warranty is void. It must be ensured that the pump is sufficiently cooled during prolonged operation.
It is not recommended to perform even cable extensions or other technical modifications. The lines to the pump must be installed always steadily rising. A transfer of mechanical loads or vibrations from the pump or must be eliminated through appropriate measures (rubber buffers, braided hoses, line fixation, etc.).If necessary, attach a sufficiently long and strong rope to the attachment points provided before using the pump. The pump is hung into the water tank with this retaining cable.
Note: The condition of the holding rope should be checked regularly, as it can age over time and may tear if necessary.

Connect the pressure line:
For occasional use a suitable water hose can be used.
For permanent installation, it is recommended to connect a reinforced hose.
Mount the pressure line on the pressure connection. All threaded connections must be sealed with a suitable sealing tape (e. g. Teflon® tape).
When using a hose, screw a suitable hose adapter onto the pressure connection, slide the hose firmly onto the hose adapter and secure it with a hose clamp.
For the maximum immersion depth, please refer to the technical data (page 8).
Make sure that the intake openings are not blocked by foreign bodies. If necessary, place the unit on a firm, level surface.
Make sure that the device is securely attached.

INSTALLATION

If necessary, attach a sufficiently long and strong rope to the handle before using it for the first time. The pump is hooked into the water tank with this holding rope.
Note
In the case of continuous use of the pump with a rope, the condition of the rope must be checked regularly as it can decay and break over time.

Connect pressure pipe.
For occasional use, use a suitable water hose. The use of rigid pipes is recommended for use at a fixed location. This prevents the return flow of the liquid when switching off.
Screw the pressure line onto the pressure connection. All threaded connections must be sealed with thread-sealing tape (e. g. Teflon® tape).
When using a hose, screw a suitable hose adapter onto the pressure connection. – Push the hose firmly onto the hose adapter and secure with a hose clamp.
The pump can be lowered up to a water depth.
Install the appliance so that the suction openings cannot be blocked by foreign bodies (place the appliance on a firm, even base if necessary).
Ensure that the appliance is stable.

SECURITY TIPS

Obey absolutely valid regulations on the electrical security
Never run pump dry
Pumping inflammable, as well as all other aggressive liquids is prohibited
Pay attention to the medium temperature max. 35°C
Never pull the pump on the electrical cable or pressure hose
Avoid cross-section narrowing
Pay attention to the given particle size
The grain size mentioned does not refer to sand or stones but rather to soft, flexible particles such as fluff and similar which the rotor cannot wedge inside the pump.
During longer unused times, clean the pump, wash it out with clear water, dry and store it at room temperature
Test wells for enough flowing water (dry run danger)
The pump is to be secured through a RCD circuit breaker with a release current of 30 mA.
The electrical connections are always to be carried out by an authorized professional.
The pump may be used by children aged 8 years and above as well as persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities or those who lack skills, experience and knowledge only if they are supervised. These aforementioned persons should only use the appliance while adhering to safe instructions and resulting dangers.
Cleaning and maintenance must not be carried out by children without supervision.
The pump must not be used or operated under any circumstances when there are people in the same water.
Under certain circumstances, the contamination of water may be caused by leakage.

THE MANUFACTURER EXPLAINS

To take over no responsibility in the case of accidents or damages based on carelessness or disregard to the instructions in this book.
To reject every responsibility for the damages which originate from the improper use of the pump.

SERVICING

Under normal pumping conditions, the pump requires no servicing. From an operating period (with clear water) of approx. 2000 hours the mechanical components should be checked: impeller wheels, chambers, sealing rings etc. on wear and if necessary be changed.
With abrasive materials like sand, the servicing duration can become shorter.
The following controls should be carried out regularly:
Intactness of the electric cable
That the connection hoses are not bent or broken
Cleanness of the pump medium
Moreover, the pump should be emptied at risk of frost, be washed out with clear water and stored dry.

WARRANTY

GUARANTEE REGULATIONS / STATUTORY WARRANTY
For all manufacturing and material defects, the statutory warranty applies. In these cases, we take the replacement or repair of the pump. Shipping costs shall be borne by our company, except as required by law. Please report the warranty on our service platform http://www.profi-pumpe.de/service.php. We will inform you how to proceed with case-related. Returns please sufficient postage. Unfortunately not prepaid returns can not be accepted because they are filtered out before delivery. Our service we provide in Germany.

The warranty does not cover:

Improper installation (self-installation, unauthorized persons)
Material wear (sealing rings, impeller wheels, impeller chambers)
Unjustified interventions or changes in the pump
Damages by selffault
Improper servicing and improper use
DRY RUNNING (Also partially!) of the pump

Moreover, we give no damage compensation for secondary damages!

„The function of the submersible pump can only be guaranteed if there are no deposits of sand or other dirt in the pump. Under certain circumstances, the pump may fail to function even with fine sand/dirt (<0.2mm grain size) if there are corresponding deposits in the pump. When installing
the well pump, please work in a clean environment and avoid dirt entering/falling into the open well pipe. In all such cases, the claim to legal warranty becomes invalid. If the pump is not used for a longer period, e.g. during „winter storage“, remove it from the well, pit, container or tank and flush it with clean water. The pump must then be stored in a dry place, as otherwise deposits will form on the shafts and seals, which can damage the well pump. In the event of such damage, the claim under the statutory warranty will expire.
