5. Setup
Follow these steps for proper installation and setup of your pressure pump:
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the pump from its packaging and inspect for any signs of damage.
- Placement: Position the pump in a stable location within the water source. Ensure the pump is fully submerged and stands upright. The minimum operating space required is approximately 17 cm x 17 cm.
- Hose Connection: Connect a suitable hose to the pressure connection (33.3 mm / 1" female thread) located on the top of the pump. Secure the connection to prevent leaks.
- Power Connection: Plug the pump into a grounded electrical outlet that matches the specified voltage (230V). Ensure the power cable is not kinked or damaged.

6. Operating Instructions
The Einhell GE-PP 1100 N-A pump is designed for user-friendly operation with its automatic features.
- Initial Start-up: Once the pump is correctly installed and submerged, connect it to the power supply. The pump will automatically prime itself.
- Automatic Operation: The pump's integrated automatic function will detect water demand. When a tap or valve connected to the pump is opened, the pump will start. When the tap or valve is closed, the pump will automatically shut off after a short delay.
- Dry Running Protection: The pump is equipped with dry running protection. If the water level drops too low, the pump will automatically switch off to prevent damage. It will restart once sufficient water is available.
- Continuous Use: For immersion depths up to 12 meters, the pump can operate continuously, providing a consistent water supply.
