Installation
PLEASE NOTE
The appliance must not suck in air or be operated without water flow. DANGER OF DESTRUCTION
•
In order to avoid flow losses, only choose hoses with a large diameter and the hose length as short as possible. We recommend an
inlet hose with a diameter of 40 mm. Cut the stepped hose tale at the notch intended especially for this.
•
Place the pump on a firm subsurface in a horizontal and safe position. Uninstall the pump in case of frost. The pump must be at least 25cm
under the water so that it does not suck in air.
Initial operation
PLEASE NOTE
Hazardous electric voltage. Possible consequences: death or serious injuries (see safety information)
•
Only operate the pump if nobody is in the water. Always remove the mains plugs on all appliances in the pond before putting your hand
into the water
•
The pump switches on automatically when power is connected.
•
Remove the mains plug to shut down the pump.
Cleaning / maintenance
PLEASE NOTE
Hazardous electric voltage. Possible consequences: death or serious injuries (see safety information) Always remove the mains
plug before cleaning or carrying out maintenance work on the pump. Always remove the mains plugs on all appliances in the pond before putting
your hand into the water.
The maintenance intervals depend on the degree of pond water contamination and/or water hardness. At the beginning check the function and
contamination of the pump/rotor/rotor compartment every day. Later on, choose the time intervals accordingly.
We recommend maintenance and cleaning on a regular basis in order to ensure long-term flawless operation and to extend the service life of your pump.
Dismantle the pump according to the disassembly drawings. Clean all parts under running water using a soft, lint-free cloth (e.g. leather). Check all
parts for damage and replace them if necessary.
In the event that the rotor or the rotor compartment is affected by calcium or limescale deposits, use diluted acetic acid to dissolve the
limescale. The time involved depends on the degree of calcination. To clean further, remove the rotor (Disassembly / Assembly) and clean the
entire unit completely using fresh water and a soft, lint-free cloth (e.g. leather). The pump can be re-assembled in the reverse order once cleaning has
been completed.
Disassembly / Assembly
1.
Please observe the safety information. Disconnect pump from the mains.
2.
Take the pump out of the water and open the housing by loosening the four stainless steel screws on the base of the housing using
the Allen key included in the scope of delivery
3.
Remove the pump and clean the housing
4.
Use the Allen key supplied with the delivery to loosen the 4 stainless steel screws on the front of the pump cover. Lift off the pump
cover and remove the rotor.
5.
The pump can be re-assembled in reverse order after cleaning/maintenance has been completed.
PLEASE NOTE:
Always remove the mains plug before cleaning or carrying out maintenance work on the pump. Always remove the mains plugs
on all appliances in the pond before putting your hand into the water.
Troubleshooting:
Is the pump getting enough water?
Is the pond filter blocked?
Are hoses or nozzles blocked?
Has the pump rotor seized up (cleaning according to instructions)?
Has the pump cooled down?
Once you have remedied the problems, the pump can be put back into operation again.

only small quantity
Pump not deep enough under water
Inlet blocked
Air in the system
Hose buckled
Excessive flow resistance
Check pump water-level
Check feed line, clean
Check feed line
Check hose
Reduce/check hose length and use larger diameter hose
Storing in winter
As this pump range is fitted with a high-quality ceramic shaft, it has to be uninstalled in case of frost. Clean the pump thoroughly and store it in a frost-
free place (at room temperature) in a container filled with water.
Disposal
Please dispose of the pump in accordance with the national regulations. Please consult your specialist dealer in this respect.
Warranty
As long as the Perfect Pump has been used properly as a pond pump, fitted and handled correctly and, as we see it, has not been vandalised, we
provide a 5 year warranty as from purchase of the pump. Please keep the sales receipt, as this is proof for the warranty. At the same time, the at-
tached warranty card should be completed by the dealer following purchase of the pump. Please keep this together with the sales receipt.
Damages due to faulty storage or installation and damages due to limescale are excluded from liability. Liability claims are restricted exclusively to
the repair or replacement of a faulty pump. The warranty cannot be transferred to third parties. Statutory customer protection rights are not affected
by this.
