Initial commissioning
In the initial commissioning, the LED displays
PUMP ON and the LED display FLOW CONTROL
flashes.
ADVICE
If no water is being drawn up via the suc-

lights up. Check for leaks in the suction
line, the filter glass and all screwed fit-

of 180 seconds, the garden pump au-
tomatically goes to "fault" condition and
switches off.
CAUTION!
Danger of injury from hot water
In extended use against the closed pres-
sure side (>10 min.), the water in the
pump can be severely heated up and can
be emitted in an uncontrolled manner!
Isolate the unit from the mains and allow
the pump and water to cool down. Start
the unit again only after all the faults have
been rectified!
The risk of injury from hot water can arise if:
the installation is not correct
the pressure side is closed off
there is a lack of water in the suction line, or if
the pressure switch is defective.
Procedure
1. Isolate the unit from the mains and allow the
pump and water to cool down.
2. Check the unit, the installation and water le-
vel.
3. Start the unit again only after all the faults
have been rectified!
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Check the air pressure in the storage vessel
CAUTION!
Check the air pressure in the storage
vessel at regular intervals. It must not ex-
ceed 1.5 bar (see Section "Commissio-
ning: Checking the Air Pressure in the
Storage Vessel").

After conveying swimming pool water
containing chlorine or fluids that leave a
residue, the pump must be flushed out
with clear water.
1. Isolate the unit from the mains and secure
against switching on again.
