PUMPS
Deltec E-
Flow
pumps are brushless motor, true sine wave 24V DC pumps.
They come with a separate controller. The power consumption and performance can
be selected with the up/down buttons located on the face of the controller. The
pump itself can be installed either dry outside the sump or submersed inside the
sump or aquarium.
The controller is not submersible
.
Important safety instructions

Keep these instructions in a safe place where it is accessible at all times.
Please read the following instructions very carefully before installing the
pump. Should you still have questions please contact your supplier.
Installation of the pump
-
Always unplug the pump during the installation process.
- After unpacking check pump, controller and cables for any damage. If any
components show signs of damage, do not use the pump.
- The pumps are designed for ‘dry’ or submersible installation in fresh or seawater
aquarium systems.
- The pumps are
not
self priming and need to be installed below the water level.
- The separate controller must be placed in a dry, cool area, to prevent damage to
the electronic control circuits through water or dampness.
- To install, place the pump on a firm, even surface.
- Never select pipes or hoses smaller in diameter than that of the pumps suction
and pressure side fittings. Shut off valves should be selected one size bigger and
fitted with reducers down to the normal pipe diameters, since the normal inner shut
off valve diameter restricts the flow considerably.
- To achieve best performance, plan the piping as short as possible, use slow bends
instead of elbows.
- On longer pipe installation increase the diameter of the pipes. Instead of 32 mm
use 40 mm, etc.
- It is good practice to use a straight length of pipe of app 300 mm on the suction
side of the pump. This will give a laminar flow into the pump and prevent unwanted
noises
- Never run the pump dry, this may lead to irreparable damage.
