user.
Do not use the pump if you have not read the instructions! This electrical appliance may be used by persons
with restricted physical, sensory or cognitive abilities and children over the age of 8 if they are supervised by
a person who is responsible for their safety, or if they have received instruction on how to use the appliance
safely and they understand the associated risks.
Children should be supervised in order to make sure they do not play with the appliance.
Construction
These modern, powerful pumps are equipped with a single-phase alternating-current motor (canned motor
with capacitor). The motor is waterproof encapsulated in synthetic resin (IP68) and provided with
an overload protection.
Please refer to the type plate for technical specifications or the table on page 2 + 3.
Use
These pumps are designed for the transport of water, for the operation of filter systems,water displays,
waterfalls, etc., as well as for oxygenating and circulating the water.
Area of application: garden ponds, fish ponds, fountains or terraced fountains!
(See fig. 1 + 2)
-
Attention!
Use in garden ponds and their protected area is only permitted if installation complies with the
applicable national regulations. Please consult a qualified electrician.
- Unplug before performing any work on the pump, fountain or pond. The pump must not be
operated if there are people in the water! (Disconnect pump from mains)
Area of application: Swimming ponds or swimming pools (when persons are in the water).
(See fig. 3 + 4)
Attention! The pump may only be operated if it is permanently installed outside of the water at least
2 m or more from the pool.
The following steps must be completed:
(See fig. 3 + 4)
- Create a shaft with a platform for the pump
at least 2 m from the edge of the water
.
- Protect the shaft with a cover.
- To protect the pump against flooding, create a drain for the shaft.
- Fasten the pump to the platform using screws.
- Install a metal sleeve in the suction line to the pump to connect to the equipotential bonding of the
swimming pond / pool system.
- Please consult a qualified electrician. See also “Dry installation” and “Safety measures”
Safety measures
- Before use: Check whether mains lead and plug are intact.
- Mains voltage and kind of current have to conform to the information on the type plate.
-
The pump may only be connected to a proper earthing-contact type socket through a residual
current device (RCD, 30 mA).
-
The connection box should be located in a water-protected area and at least 2 m away from the
edge of the water (see fig. 1 + 2).
- Always keep the plug dry.
-
Important!
If the mains lead or the motor housing are damaged, the pump cannot be used anymore. It
cannot be repaired since the lead is permanently encapsulated in the motor housing.
- Do never hang up or transport the pump by the mains lead.
Start-up (see fig.1 + 2)
Important! Do not let the pump run dry. This could cause damages to the appliance.
- Immerse the pump completely in your pond.
This causes the pump body to be filled with water.
- A minimum water depth of 20 cm is required for underwater operation to avoid the pump taking in air.
-
The maximum depth for submerged operation of
the pump is 2 m!
- The water temperature should not exceed 35°C.
- Do not let the pump freeze in the wintertime.
- The pump is switched on by putting the plug in the socket.
- To prevent the pump becoming unnecessarily dirty, place it above the mud in your pond, in a firm and
horizontal position (on a brick)!
- A range of accessories may be fitted onto the threaded connections of the pump.
- The filter caps delivered are sufficient as suction protection in clear water.
- In order to prevent blocking the fountain nozzles, it may be necessary to use the filter sponge and filter
basket supplied in the case of MP pumps.
-
TIP!
filter sponge and filter basket for operation with fountain nozzles are also available as accessories
with item number
168 / 003039
.
Non submersible use (see fig. 2 + 3)
The pump can be used in a nonsubmerged type application.
- Position the pump below the water level, at the side of the pond so that the water can be fed to the pump
(not self-priming)
.
- Remove the filter cover (1)
(see fig. 4)
.
- Connect suction hose (S) and pressure hose (D) to the pump. Connection should be waterproof.
- Fill suction hose and pump with water before switching-on.
-
TIP!
To prevent the pump becoming clogged, provide the suction hose with a prefilter
Art.-No.

covered in our range of accessories.
Overload protection
The built-in thermal overload trip prevents the pump from being overheated.
The pump must cool down.
When cool, the pump will not start automatically without the necessary controlling.
Check the following operating conditions:
- Is there a sufficient water supply?
- Has the filter become clogged?
- Has dirt entered the pump housing (Follow the cleaning instructions below)?
- Have hoses or jets become clogged?
- Has the pump cooled down?
As soon as you have solved the problems, you can start the pump again, pulling the plug out and putting it
again in the socket after a short time (1 min.)
Dismantling / Assembly (see fig. 4 - 6)
1.
Follow the safety measures.
Disconnect the pump!
2.
Press together the filter cover (1) laterally and take it out of the pump.
3.
Loosen the 4 screws (10).
4.
Unclip pump housing (7) from motor housing (5).
5.
Remove rotor assembly (9) from motor housing (5).
Pay attention to the O-ring (8) in the motor housing (5).
6.
Clean all parts using clear water and soft sponge.
7.
Mounting:
- Press the O-ring (8) onto the rim in the motor housing (5).
- Push the rotor assembly (9) onto the motor housing (5) with precaution and turn the bearing cap so
that the two holes fit on the pins in the motor housing (5).
- Make sure the rotor assembly is free and will turn.
- Check the position of the O-ring (8) in the motor housing (5).
- Plug the pump housing (7) in the motor housing (5) and tighten the 4 screws (10) uniformly.
- Replace filter cover (1) together with filter sponge (2) (only with fountain pumps “MP”) in the pump
housing (5).
Maintenance
In order to prolong the service life of your pump significantly and to keep it in sound operating condition, it is
recommended to carry out maintenance and cleanup regularly. This can be done by everyone, quickly and
easily.
See „Dismantling/Assembly“
Servicing intervals
- In the beginning check proper performance of your pump every day. If necessary, clean the filters.
- Since servicing intervals (complete cleaning) will vary depending on the level of pond pollution, repeat the
periodic service to your pump in accordance with the pollution of the pond water. Should you determine
that there are
damaged or worn parts
, replace them.
See „Spare parts“
Important! When used in calcareous water, the rotor assembly (9) and the stainless steel can split
tube in the motor housing (5) should be cleaned at regular intervals.
Pump care in wintertime
Protect your pump from freezing-up!
Take the pump out of your pond in autumn.
Clean the pump completely according to the instructions.
During the winter months store the pump in a tank filled with water to prevent the bearings from drying out.
Store the tank in a frostproof room.
