Disposal of the unit:

Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)
must not get into domestic waste!
If ever the unit cannot be used anymore, the consumer
is legally obliged to hand in waste electrical and elec-
tronic equipment (WEEE) separately from domestic
waste
, e.g. at a collection point of his community/his
district. This ensures that waste electrical and elec-
tronic equipment (WEEE) is expertly processed and
that negative effects to the environment are avoided.

Problem

Possible cause

Troubleshooting

Insufficient air intake rate

Intake valve (4.19) insufficiently o-
pened

Open intake valve (4.19) further

Air hose (4.17) is encrusted with
lime or dirty

Clean

Intake nozzle (4.16) on the pump is
dirty

Pull off and clean

Pump performance is too low

Clean rotor and shaft

Foam too moist/
too much foam

Water level within the unit is too
high

Open flow adjustor (4.4) further

Too much air

Close intake valve (4.19) further, 
first try to adjust with the flow
adjustor (4.4) 

Foam too dry/
very viscous foam

Water level within the unit is too
low 

Slightly reduce flow rate at the flow
adjustor (4.4)

Insufficient pump performance

Clean rotor, shaft and intake nozzle

Insufficient foam formation

Insufficient amount of air

Open intake valve (4.19) further

Foam formation too strong, very
brownish flotate, very sticky foam

Water strongly polluted

Partial water change, feed less

see: Insufficient foam formation

Increase flotate moisture

Foam formation breaks down

Feeding fatty food (fish, mussels)

Foam formation will begin again
after a few hours

Air intake congested 

Clean air intake or open further
