3. Appropriate use
This submersible pump has been constructed for pumping water into garden ponds,
water fountains, etc.. The pumping can be conducted via a hose attachment or via
the supplied standpipes with water sprinklers.
A solar module featuring a voltage of 12 - 24 volts can be used as the source of ener-
gy. When using such a solar module, the pump only works when the solar module
has been provided with enough of the sun’s rays.
The pumping performance can be set using the regulator on the front side of the
pump. The water pump does not feature an on/off switch. As soon as the pump is
connected with its electrical supply, it will begin pumping water.
4. Assembly and start-up procedure
1.
Completely unroll the connecting cable at the pump.
2.
Attach the ascending pipes onto the pump or connect a hose to the outlet of the
pump. If the ascending pipes are used it is possible to attach a water sprinkler or
water bell. A step sprinkler and a water bell are included in the scope of delivery.
3.
Put the pump into the water. In doing so, please make sure that the pump is
not directly placed on the pond bottom. Because at the bottom of the pond is
the greatest contamination which would lead to a clogging of the nozzle holes.
Place the pump onto a stone or platform in the pond.
4.
Now power the water pump by means of a solar module, battery or direct current
power pack. For this purpose, please use the enclosed plug including cable
(brown = positive pole, blue = negative pole).
5.
In case you bought this pump as a complete solar system in one set, then the
matching plug is already installed in the solar module.
Note:
The plug is protected against reverse
polarity; please do not apply force when
plugging it in.

5. Care and Maintenance
In order to maintain the performance of the pump it is required to occasionally,
depending on the water contamination, rinse the pump with warm water. For this
purpose, open the filter housing as follows:
Note:
Please do not apply force when assembling and disassembling the pump. The
parts are very delicate and may break easily. If required, spare parts are available
under www.esotec.de.
1.
Disconnect the plug from the pump.
2.
Remove the ascending pipe or the hose and take the pump out of the water.
3.
Slightly rotate the coarse filter anticlockwise and take off the front part (figure 1).
A certain amount of force is required in order to loosen the snap lock.
4.
Remove the bottom plastic slide forward (figure 2), rotate the front cover of the
pump by approx. 45° anticlockwise (figure 3) and carefully remove the cover
forward (figure 4). In doing so, please pay attention to the ceramic shaft and the
rubber plug, this shaft may break easily or get lost.
5.
Carefully pull the impeller wheel with the plastic shaft out of the pump (figure 5).
6.
Now carefully clean all parts with warm water.
7.
Now reassemble the pump in reverse order and pay attention to the correct fit of
the ceramic shaft and sealing gasket (figure 5).
