Use in the pond:
ECO pumps are supplied complete ready for the operation in the pond (wet installation).
Mount the swivel head (15) and the middle piece (16) plus the hose adapter (17) on the
outlet adapter of the pump. NB: The gaskets have to be placed correctly between all
joints.
The pump can also be turned around in the housing, so the hose adapter comes out at
the side of the pump housing. If you choose this solution, the housing part (5) has to be
demounted and the supplied housing part with a hole (5) has to be mounted, hereafter
the extension socket (14) has to be mounted directly on the pump and than turned to a
horizontal position: now you can mount the ball-joint (15), middle piece (16), the univer-
sal hose adapter (17) and the plug for the outlet (1) on the top-housing.
Use outside the pond:
ECO pumps can also be installed outside the pond, f. ex. to a pressure filter or a larger
filter systems. As the pumps are not self sucking, they always have to be installed 20 cm
under the water level.
Before use, the hoses have to be filled with water. Fasten the socket with thread (18),
the universal hose adapter (19) and the gaskets on the inlet and the outlet of the pump.
Ensure, that everything is watertight, so that the system cannot suck air.
For utilizing the water capacity optimal, you always have to use a hose / pipe with the
largest possible diameter. Saw the unused diameter of the hose adapter of.
For dry installation you may
not
use the ball-joint, as this is
not
100% watertight.
Use in winter:
When the temperature is not falling to under -5º C, the ECO pump can also operate in
winter. In severe winters, where the temperature falls below -5º C, the pump has to be
taken out from the pond. Clean the pump and the pump housing (pre-filter housing)
properly. Check, if the pump or the cable are de-
fect. To prevent the gaskets from drying out, we
recommend to store the pump wet, f. ex. in a
bucket of water. The pump has to be started at
least once a month for 10 minutes for preventing
corrosion.
Important !
The pump may not run dry, as the motor could
be damaged and the bearings and the ceramic
shaft could break down.
Never use the pump in the pond without hous-
ing (pre-filter housing). Make sure that the
hose is not bended, so that the water flow is
blocked.
When the pump is in use, you have to main-
tain (clean) it regularly, depending on the pol-
lution level of the water.
We recommend to rinse the housing (pre-filter
housing) and clean the impeller ca. once a month
(or even before, if the water flow reduces percep-
tible). Use a soft brush and clean water.
See illustration A and B for demounting and
mounting of housing, pump, impeller etc.
