Frequently Asked Questions - FVC 8020 EC Fieldmann

How do I prime the Fieldmann FVC 8020 EC water pump?

Before starting, fill the pump housing with water through the priming plug. Ensure the suction line is airtight. Close the outlet valve partially, start the pump, then slowly open the valve once water flows.

What is the maximum suction height?

The pump is self-priming up to 2 meters vertical suction lift. For deeper lifts, install a foot valve or use a submersible pump.

Why is my pump running but not delivering water?

Check for air leaks in the suction line, ensure the suction hose is fully submerged, and verify that the filter is not clogged. Also confirm that the pump is primed correctly.

Can I use the pump for dirty water?

No, this pump is designed for clean water with particle size up to 1 mm. For dirty water, use a drainage pump.

How do I store the pump for winter?

Drain all water from the pump and hoses. Disconnect power, clean the exterior, and store indoors in a dry, frost-free place. Remove any residual water from the impeller.

What type of oil does the pump require?

The Fieldmann FVC 8020 EC uses a sealed bearing system; no oil change is needed. Lubrication is factory-sealed.

The pump is making unusual noise. What could be wrong?

Cavitation due to low water supply, air in the system, or a blocked impeller. Check water level, prime the pump, and inspect the impeller for debris.

How often should I clean the filter?

Inspect the inlet filter before each use. Clean it after every 10 hours of operation or more frequently if pumping sandy water.

Can I use an extension cord?

Yes, but use a heavy-duty cord suitable for outdoor use, with a cross-section of at least 1.5 mm² and length not exceeding 50 meters to avoid voltage drop.

What is the warranty period and how to claim?

The pump comes with a 2-year warranty. Contact your retailer with the purchase receipt and a description of the fault. Do not disassemble the pump yourself.

3. INSTALLATION AND RUNNING

⚠ WARNING! Before starting the installation, carefully read the complete documentation.

The pump must not be used in swimming pools, ponds, water tanks where there are people, even after pumping out hydrocarbons (fuel, diesel, heating oils, solvents) pursuant to the injury regulations valid for the stated area. * Never touch the water when the plug is inserted into the socket even if the pump is not running. Before each intervention, remove the plug from the electricity socket. Prevent dry running of the pump. * Protect the pump against atmospheric influences. The pump is equipped with thermal engine protection. In the case of potential overloading of the engine, the protection system automatically disconnects the pump. The time required for cooling the engine varies between 15–20 minutes; after cooling, the pump is automatically activated. After activating the protection system for the engine, it is necessary to identify and remove the reason. * Consult the paragraph "Identifying defects". It is recommended to clean the pump before storing away. See the chapter "Maintenance and Cleaning". Do not leave the pump running unattended.

Installation (Fig. 2.)

Garden pumps are recommended for small-scale agriculture in gardens and for gardening, emergency situations in households, and for use in hobbies. The compact form along with easy handling means they can also be used in special applications as portable pumps for emergency situations, such as pumping water from tanks.

The pump must be installed in a place protected against bad weather and temperatures exceeding 40 °C. We recommend to firmly install the pump. The holes in legs enable to correct the firm base with bolts (the bolts are not included in the package), see Fig. 2. * Prevent the piping from transferring excessive stress on top the input and output holes (point 3 and 5, Fig. 1), to prevent deformation or cracks. It is recommended to position the pump nearest to the pumped liquid; the pump must only be installed in a horizontal position. The piping must not have a smaller diameter than the diameter of the suction neck on the pump. For suction depths over four metres or with long horizontal sections, it is recommended to use a suction hose with a larger diameter than the suction hole for the pump. A slight declination of the suction hose in the upward direction of the pump will prevent the creation of air pockets. Fig. 2. If the suction piping is from rubber or a flexible material, always check that it is has been reinforced and is resistant to vacuums to prevent narrowing due to suction. In the case of a firm installation, it is recommended to mount the stop valve on the side of the suction and on the side of the delivery. This enables to close the circuit on the input and/or on the output of the pump, which is useful when carrying out maintenance and cleaning or for a period when the pump is not used. When using in water with small dirt with small dimensions, it is recommended to use the filter on the input of the pump mounted on the suction tube. Do not make a large number of starts per hour. Do not exceed 20 starts/hour.

4. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Check the voltage on the label on the electric engine of the pump with the supplied voltage; specifically, the ground terminal must be connected to the supply cable. The length of the supply cable, which is part of the pump, is restricted by the installation distance. If using an extension cable, make sure that it is of the same type (e.g. H05 RN-F or H07 RN-F, depending on the specific installation).

5. STARTING

Do not start the pump without filling it with liquid. Fill the liquid into the output hole (Fig. 1, point 2) or the de-aerating hole (Fig. 1, point 3). Fill the liquid until it starts to overflow through the hole. The filling ensures the good function of the mechanical sealing. Dry operation of the pump causes damage to the mechanical sealing. It is then necessary to screw the de-aerating closure or to connect the hose. * Insert the supply cable plug into an electricity socket with a voltage of 230 V. * Run the pump with the main switch in position I (Fig. 1, point 7) * Disconnect the pump by switching the switch into the position O. In the case of exhausting the water source, immediately disconnect the pump by putting the main switch into the position O. Prevent dry running of the pump.

RISK OF FREEZING: If the pump remains disconnected at a temperature lower than 0 °C, it is necessary to be sure that there is no water remaining which, in the case of freezing, could cause the plastic parts to crack.

The remaining water can be discharged through the discharging hole (Fig. 1, point 6). If the pump is used with substances that can create sediments or with chlorinated water, rinse it after use with a strong stream of water to prevent the creation of sediments or incrustations, which would have a tendency to reduce the parameters of the pump.

6. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

The pump does not require any type of maintenance. In all cases, repair and maintenance must only be carried out after disconnecting the pump from the supply network. In the case of restarting the pump into operation, make sure that it is reassembled in the stated manner to prevent any risk to people.
