4. Setup

4.1 Unpacking

Carefully remove the pump and all accessories from the packaging. Inspect for any damage during transit. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.

4.2 Placement

Place the pump on a firm, level, and stable surface. Ensure it is protected from direct sunlight, rain, and frost. Maintain adequate space around the pump for ventilation and access for maintenance.

4.3 Connecting the Pump

1. Suction Line Connection: Connect a suitable suction hose (minimum 1 inch diameter) to the pump's inlet. Ensure the suction hose is airtight to prevent air ingress, which can affect pump performance. For optimal performance, use a foot valve with a non-return valve at the end of the suction hose in the water source.
2. Discharge Line Connection: Connect the discharge hose or pipe to the pump's outlet. Ensure all connections are sealed properly to prevent leaks.
3. Filling the Pump: Before initial operation, the pump housing and suction line must be completely filled with water through the filling opening until water overflows. This primes the pump and prevents dry running.
4. Electrical Connection: Plug the pump into a properly grounded electrical outlet (230 V, 50 Hz). Ensure the power cord is not damaged or pinched.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Initial Start-up

1. Ensure the pump is properly installed and all connections are secure.
2. Verify that the pump housing and suction line are completely filled with water.
3. Open any valves in the discharge line to allow water to flow freely.
4. Switch on the pump using the power switch. The pump will start to draw water.
5. Monitor the pressure gauge to ensure stable pressure. If the pump does not draw water within a few minutes, switch it off, check for air leaks, and re-prime.

5.2 Automatic Operation (Auto-Restart, Auto-Stop)

The TGP 1025 EF features an automatic start/stop system. The pump will automatically start when water is drawn (e.g., opening a tap) and stop when the water flow ceases, maintaining constant pressure in the system. This feature contributes to energy saving and extends the pump's lifespan by preventing unnecessary continuous operation.

5.3 Shutting Down

To temporarily shut down the pump, simply close all water outlets. The pump will automatically stop. For extended periods of non-use, switch off the pump at the power switch and disconnect it from the mains supply.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your pump. Always disconnect the pump from the power supply before any maintenance work.

6.1 Pre-filter Cleaning

The integrated pre-filter protects the pump from dirt particles. Check and clean the pre-filter regularly, especially if you notice a decrease in pump performance or flow rate.

1. Disconnect the pump from the power supply.
2. Close any valves in the suction and discharge lines.
3. Carefully unscrew the pre-filter housing.
4. Remove the filter element and rinse it thoroughly under clean running water.
5. Inspect the filter element for damage and replace if necessary.
6. Reassemble the pre-filter, ensuring the seal is correctly seated, and tighten the housing.

6.2 Winter Storage

If the pump will not be used during freezing temperatures, it must be completely drained to prevent damage from ice. Disconnect all hoses and open any drain plugs to ensure all water is removed from the pump and lines. Store the pump in a dry, frost-free location.

6.3 General Care

• Keep the pump clean and free from dirt and debris.
• Regularly check all connections for leaks.
• Inspect the power cord for any signs of damage.
