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 recommended to place the unit horizontally on the ground ensuring its stable position.
- Do not lift the pump by its power cord.
- Attach the adapter to the pump first, then connect the appropriate tubing to the adapter. NOTE: Tubing is NOT INCLUDED.Diagram Description: Shows adapter being attached to pump, then tubing to adapter.
- Attach the other end of tubing to desired fountain feature.
Start-up
[Attention: Pump Safety] The pump must never run dry. Possible consequences: The pump will be destroyed. Protective measures: Check the water level at regular intervals. Always place the unit below water level.
[Attention: Overload Protection] The installed temperature sensor automatically turns the pump off if it is overloaded. The pump automatically switches on again once the motor has cooled down. Risk of accident!
Install the unit so that it is not exposed to direct sun radiation (max. 104 °F / 40 °C).
Important: The unit switches on automatically when power connection is established.
- Switching on: Connect power plug to the socket.Diagram Description: Shows power plug being inserted into an electrical socket.
- Adjusting flow: Adjust the flow control to the preferred setting.Diagram Description: Shows a dial or lever being adjusted on the pump.
- Switching off: Disconnect the power plug.
Maintenance and Cleaning
[Attention: Electrical Hazard] 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: Magnetic Force] 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, potentially causing 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.
- Remove the front cover and disassemble the impeller cover to expose the impeller assembly.Diagram Description: Shows pump with front cover removed, then impeller cover removed.
- Remove the impeller assembly by gently pulling on the impeller blades.Diagram Description: Shows impeller assembly being pulled out.
- Use a soft cloth or brush to clean the impeller assembly and the inside of the impeller housing. Check parts for damages such as cracked rotor, shaft or bearing, cracks in the magnet, and broken plastics. Replace parts if necessary.Diagram Description: Shows cleaning of impeller and housing, and checking parts.
- Reassemble in the reverse order.
