Frequently Asked Questions - GC-AW 1136 EINHELL

How to prime the pump before first use?

Fill the pump body with water through the filling port until it overflows. Close the cap and turn on the pump. Priming is essential to avoid dry running.

What to do if the pump does not start?

Check the power supply, cable, and plug. Ensure the float switch is not stuck in the low position. If the motor is hot, the thermal protection may have tripped: let it cool for 15 minutes before retrying.

What type of water can I pump with this pump?

The pump is designed for clean water: rainwater, tap water, pool water (after filtration). Do not pump dirty water, water with sand or debris, as this would damage the impeller.

How to clean the suction filter?

Unplug the pump. Unscrew the suction connection and remove the filter. Clean it under clean water with a soft brush. Reassemble. A clogged filter reduces the flow rate.

Can the pump run dry?

No, dry running quickly damages the seals and impeller. The pump is equipped with thermal protection, but it is essential to prime it correctly and monitor the water level.

How to winterize the pump?

Completely drain the water from the pump body by unscrewing the drain plug. Clean the pump and store it in a frost-free place. If left outside, protect it with a cover.

What to do if the flow rate drops significantly?

Check that the suction filter is not clogged. Inspect the suction hose for kinks or leaks. Ensure the suction head does not exceed 8 m. A seal problem may also cause power loss.

Is the power cable long enough for outdoor use?

The supplied cable is 10 meters long, which is sufficient in most cases. If more length is needed, use a suitable outdoor extension cord with a cross-section of at least 1.5 mm².

Can I use the pump for dirty or loaded water?

No, this pump is intended only for clean water. For dirty water, use a transfer pump or a submersible pump designed for particles.

How to replace worn seals?

Seals are wear parts available as a kit. Unplug the pump, remove the impeller housing according to the manual, replace the O-rings and the valve seal. Reassemble carefully and test for leaks.

approx. 42 mm (R11/4 male thread)

Water temperature max. 35°C

Protection type IP44

6. Electrical connections

●Connect the power cable to a 230 V \~ 50 Hz earthed, 10 amp fuse minimum.
●The appliance is switched on and off using the integrated ON/OFF switch.
●The motor is protected against overloading or blocking by an integrated thermostat. In the event of overheating, the thermostat switches off the pump automatically. The pump will start up again automatically after it has cooled down.

7. Fitting a suction pipe

• Screw an intake hose (min. 19 mm (3/4") plastic hose with spiral reinforcement) either directly or with a threaded nipple to the pump's intake connection (42 mm (1 1/4 AG)) (see Fig. 1).
  ●The intake hose should rise from the water pick-up point to the pump. Always avoid laying the intake line higher than the pump. Air bubbles in the intake line delay and hinder suction.
  ●The intake and pressure lines must be attached in such a way that they do not place the pump under any mechanical strain.

GB

●The intake valve should be so far immersed in the water that the pump cannot run dry even if the water level falls.
- If the intake line is not air-tight, the intake of air will hinder the intake of water.

8. Pressure line connection

• The pressure line (should be at least 19 mm (3/4")) must be connected to the pump's pressure line connection (33,3 mm (R1)) either directly or via a threaded nipple.
  ●A 13 mm (1/2") pressure hose can also be used with the appropriate screw connections, of course, but this will reduce the delivery rate.
  ●All shut-off devices (spray nozzles, valves etc.) in the pressure line must be fully opened when priming so that any air in the intake line can escape.

9. Starting up

●Set up the pump on flat and firm ground.
- Attach the intake line ready for use.
●Unscrew the water filler screw (3) and remove the coarse filter (6) together with the non-return valve (7) as shown in Figure 2. Now you can fill the pump housing with water. Filling the intake line accelerates the priming process.
●Assemble in reverse order.
●Plug into the mains.
●All shut-off devices in the pressure line (spray nozzles, valves etc.) must be fully opened when priming so that any air in the intake line can escape.
●Depending on the suction height and the amount of air in the intake line, priming can take anywhere between 30 seconds and 5 minutes. If it takes longer than this, the pump should be refilled with water.
- If the pump is removed again after use, it must always be refilled with water whenever it is connected up and used again.

9.1 Operating the flow switch:

You can select one of the four operating modes with the MODE button.

POWER ON mode:

The equipment is in standby mode.

EVER ON mode:

The equipment will run continuously. Important: Never let the equipment run against pressure over a longer period (without drawing water). Danger of overheating!

AUTOMATIC mode:

L = The equipment is drawing water (pump is running) P = The equipment is building up pressure (e.g. the water tap is closed) and then switches off automatically.

TIME mode:

1. TIME NOW (current time): First press the SET button, then you can enter the time with the SET and MODE button. Confirm your entry by pressing the CHECK button.
2. TIME ON (switch-on time): Proceed as described under TIME NOW.
3. TIME OFF (switch-off time): Proceed as described under TIME NOW.
4. Check TIME ON and OFF again, then confirm by pressing the CHECK button.

The programming is now completed. Now check that for example the water tap is always opened at the programmed time.

10. Maintenance instructions

●The pump is basically maintenance free. To ensure a long service life, however, we recommend regular checks and care. Warning!

Before every servicing, switch off the pump and remove the plug from the socket.

• If the pump is not going to be used for a long time or has to be removed for the winter months, rinse it out with water, empty it completely and allow it to dry.
• If there is a risk of frost, the pump must be emptied completely.
  ●After long stoppages, make sure the rotor turns correctly by briefly switching the pump on and off.
• If the pump becomes blocked, connect the pressure line to the water line and remove the intake hose. Open the water line. Switch on the pump several times for approx. 2 seconds. Most blockages can be removed in this way.

10.1 Cleaning the coarse filter insert

●Clean the coarse filter insert at regular intervals, and replace it if necessary.
- Remove the coarse filter screw and coarse filter together with the non-return valve.
●Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or petrol to clean the coarse filter and the non-return valve.

GB

●Clean the coarse filter and the non-return valve by tapping them on a flat surface. In cases of stubborn dirt, first clean with soapy water, then rinse with clear water and air-dry.
●Assemble in reverse order.

11. Replacing the mains cable

Warning! Disconnect the pump from the mains! If the mains cable is defective, it must be replaced by an electrician.

12. Ordering replacement parts

Please quote the following data when ordering replacement parts:

●Type of machine
