Safety Information
- Always disconnect the pump from the power supply before performing any maintenance or cleaning.
- Ensure the electrical installation complies with local regulations and is protected by a residual current device (RCD).
- Do not operate the pump dry. Ensure it is always filled with water before starting.
- Keep children and unauthorized persons away from the pump during operation.
- Protect the pump from direct sunlight, rain, and extreme temperatures.
Setup
- Unpacking and Inspection: Carefully remove the pump from its packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage during transit. Ensure all components are present.
- Placement: Position the pump on a stable, level surface, close to the pool or water source. Ensure adequate ventilation around the motor. The pump should be installed below the water level for optimal priming.
- Hose/Pipe Connection: Connect the suction line (inlet) to the front of the pre-filter housing and the pressure line (outlet) to the top connection. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent air leaks, which can affect pump performance. The pump is designed for high-pressure connections.
- Electrical Connection: Connect the pump to a grounded power outlet. Verify that the voltage and frequency match the pump's specifications (230V, 50Hz).
- Priming the Pump: Before the first start-up, fill the pre-filter housing completely with water. This is crucial to prevent dry running and damage to the pump. Secure the pre-filter lid tightly.

Operating
- Starting the Pump: After ensuring the pump is primed and all connections are secure, plug the pump into the power outlet. The pump will start circulating water.
- Monitoring Performance: Observe the water flow and pressure. The pump delivers a constant flow rate of 17700 L/h (295 L/min) for optimal filtration.
- Run Time: For a 40 m³ pool, two complete circulations per day are recommended to maintain water quality. This pump ensures continuous filtration.
- Shutting Down: To turn off the pump, simply unplug it from the power outlet.

Maintenance
- Pre-filter Basket Cleaning: Regularly check and clean the integrated pre-filter basket to remove leaves, hair, branches, and other debris. This prevents clogging and protects internal components. To access, unscrew the clear lid.
- Drain Plug: The pump features a drain plug for easy removal of excess water after use or for winterization.
- Leak Inspection: Periodically inspect all connections and the pump housing for any signs of leaks. Tighten connections as needed.
- Winterization: Before freezing temperatures, drain all water from the pump and disconnect it. Store the pump in a dry, frost-free location.
- General Care: The pump is constructed from high-quality plastic with an anti-rust spindle and features overheat protection, ensuring durability and safe operation even under intensive use.
