2.3.2. Additional personal safety instructions

GARDENA 5600 SilentComfort - Additional personal safety instructions - 1

DANGER!

Risk of suffocation

Small parts can easily be swallowed. Keep small children away when you assemble the product.

GARDENA 5600 SilentComfort - Risk of suffocation - 1

DANGER!

Risk of injury from hot water

The pumped water is pressurised and can cause injury if it directly strikes the body or eyes. If there is no water supply on the suction side, the water in the PTU may heat up and the hot water produced could cause injury if leakage occurs.

Disconnect the PTU from the mains and let the water cool down. Do not open caps or fittings when the water is hot.

Ensure that the water supply on the suction side is present before restarting.

If hoses or pipes are exposed to the sun, they can become very hot. Do not use the product with untied hair. Do not connect the PTU to the drinking water supply.

To prevent the pump unit from running dry, make sure that the suction hose end is always in the pumped medium.

Slowly fill the PTU up to the overflow (min. 2.2 l) with water before starting it each time.

When filling the PTU with water, make sure that no hoses or consumers are connected to the PTU and that the PTU is level.

Make sure that the hoses are not kinked.

Sand and other abrasive substances cause faster wear and reduced pump unit performance. If water contains sand, use a pump pre-filter.

Pumping contaminated water, for example containing stones, pine needles, etc., can damage the pump unit.

Do not pump heavily contaminated water.

GARDENA 5600 SilentComfort - Risk of injury from hot water - 1

DANGER!

Risk of injury

Risk of injury due to unintentional startup.

Disconnect the plug from the mains socket.

3.1 Selecting the installation location

  • The surface must be low-vibration (e.g., do not place on metal sheets or plastic tanks) to ensure quiet operation.
  • If installed below water level, a shut-off device must be installed to prevent unwanted water loss.
  • The installation location must be level, firm, and provide the PTU with a secure footing.
  • It must be located at least 2 m away from open water.
  • The PTU must be installed in a dry location with sufficient ventilation and with no risk of submersion.
  • It must be at least 5 cm away from walls.
  • Set up the PTU so that you can place an appropriately sized receptacle for emptying the PTU under the drain screw ⑳.
  • To prevent water leaking onto the floor during the emptying process and to allow the PTU unit to be emptied fully, it must be possible to tilt the PTU forwards by approx. 80° towards the drain screw ⑳.
  • If possible, install the PTU higher than the surface of the water you wish to pump.
  • If this is not possible, install a vacuum-resistant shut-off valve between the pump unit and the suction hose.

3.2 Screwing the PTU onto a surface [Fig. A6/A7/A8]

The PTU can optionally be screwed in place. A 1:1 drill template [Fig. A6] is provided at the back of the operating manual (261 mm x 190 mm). We recommend using four screws 7.5 x 45 (concrete screw) or 8 x 45 (wood screw) for installation on the floor. Hex head screws are recommended.

  1. Drill the hole pattern of the 1:1 drilling template [Fig. A6] on your selected (solid) surface ③.
  2. Use a screwdriver (max. 5 mm) and insert it into the side hole ① of one cover ① [Fig. A7].
  3. Press the screwdriver to release the snap-on hook (2 hooks per cover①).
  4. While holding down the snap-on hook, pull the side cover ① off the base of the pressure vessel. Use the same procedure for the second cover.
  5. Screw the PTU to the solid surface ③ by hand using four hex head screws ② (not supplied).
  6. Push the two side covers ① back onto the base of the pressure vessel until the snap-on hooks snap into place.

3.3 Connecting the suction side

The suction side connection ⑤ is fitted with a 33.3 mm (G 1") external thread. This connection is labelled with (In).

The connection piece on the suction side may only be tightened by hand [Fig. A2].

A suction hose or permanent piping with a backflow preventer [Fig. A9] must be used to prevent malfunctions and ensure a short suction resumption time.

Drawing air into the suction system may result in a loss of function and increased noise.

→Connect the suction hose carefully. →Check the seal at regular intervals and replace it if necessary.

Do not use modular water hose components on the suction side.

A vacuum-resistant suction hose must be used on the suction side [Fig. A3]:

  • For example, the GARDENA suction set Art. 1411/1412/1418 • or the GARDENA fountain suction hose Art. 1729.
  • Connect suction hoses ④ without a threaded connection to the connection on the suction side using a suction hose connection piece (for example Art. 1723/1724), ensuring it is airtight.

3.3.1 Types of connection systems

Designed for a flat gasket:

Including all GARDENA suction sets made of plastic. No thread sealing tape is required.

Ensure that the flat gasket Ⓖ is inserted into the suction hose fitting and is undamaged.

Designed for thread sealing tape (Teflon):

If you use different connections, use sealing tape on the male thread of the connections.

→ An incorrect sealing system may cause leaks/air ingress and reduce the suction capacity.

Use the sealing system provided for this purpose.

3.3.2 Connecting the suction hose [Fig. A9]

  1. Ensure that the flat gasket G is inserted into the suction hose fitting.
  2. Screw the vacuum-resistant suction hose④ onto the connection on the suction side (In) ⑤ so that it is airtight. The suction hose fitting must be installed straight [Fig. A1].
  3. Route the suction hose ④ so that it is straight and not twisted.
  4. For suction heights above 3 m: Also secure the suction hose④ (for example tie it to a wooden peg).

This relieves the PTU of the weight of the PTU.

If the water has very fine contamination, in addition to the integrated filter, a Gardena pump pre-filter Art. 1730/1731 is recommended.

3.4 Connecting the hose to the pressure side

Use suitable shut-off valves for permanent installation on the pressure side. This is important for maintenance and cleaning work or for decommissioning, for example. When permanently installing the PTU indoors for the domestic water supply, the PTU should not be firmly connected to rigid pipes when connecting to the pipe network on the pressure side, instead flexible hose lines (e.g. armoured hose) should be used in order to reduce noise and avoid damage to the pump unit due to pressure surges.

To ensure good venting, do not connect the pressure hose until the PTU has been filled (see "4.2.1 Starting the pump unit").

There are two connections on the pressure side, which are equipped with a 33.3 mm (G 1") external thread: One horizontal (180° rotatable) and one vertical connection. These connections are labelled with (Out).

The unused connection must be closed with the plug cap ⑦a.

The connection piece on the pressure side may only be tightened by hand. A fixed pipe must be installed at an upwards angle so that water can flow back into the pump unit on the pressure side. Efficient use of the pumping capacity of the pump unit is achieved by connecting:

  • 19 mm (3/4") hoses in conjunction with the GARDENA pump connection set Art. 1752 or
  • 25 mm (1") hoses with the GARDENA female quick thread coupling Art. 7109/quick coupling hose connector Art. 7103.

Hold or fix the pressure hose vertically to prevent it kinking at the vertical pump outlet. Lay the hose flat on the ground and ensure that there are no U-shaped rises in it or coiled hoses. The best way of allowing air to escape is for the pressure hose to be stretched out so that it runs upwards when viewed

from the PTU.

3.4.1 Connecting the pressure hose [Fig. A10]

Connect the pressure hose ⑥ to the connection on the pressure side ⑦. Ensure that the flat gasket ⑥ is inserted into the connection piece. If you use different connections, use sealing tape on the male thread of the connections.

3.4.2 Connect the pressure hose via the GARDENA combi system

The GARDENA combi system can be used to connect 19 mm (3/4")/16 mm (5/8") and 13 mm (1/2") hoses.

19 mm ( 3/4 ") GARDENA pump connection setArt. 1752

3.4.3 Parallel connection of pressure hoses

If more than two pressure hoses are connected in parallel, we recommend the use of:

• e.g., the GARDENA 2-way or 4-way distributor Art. 8193/8194

or the GARDENA 2-way valve Art. 940. These can be screwed directly onto the connections on the pressure side ⑦.

3.5 Connecting the soil moisture sensor (optional) [Fig. A11]

  1. Make sure that charged batteries or rechargeable batteries are inserted in the sensor.
  2. Place the soil moisture sensor in the watering area.
  3. Open the protective cover.
  4. Insert the sensor plug into the sensor connector ② of the PTU.

4.1 Initial commissioning

  2. Confirm your selection with √. The language is selected. The status display is displayed.
  3. Now start setting up and operating your PTU.

4.2 Starting/stopping the pump unit [Fig. O1/O2]

GARDENA 5600 SilentComfort - Starting/stopping the pump unit [Fig. O1/O2] - 1

CAUTION!

Dry running of the pump unit

Make sure that the pump unit is filled with water up to the overflow (at least 2.2 l) before you start it.

4.2.1 Starting the pump unit

  1. Connect the suction hose (In).
  2. Remove the pressure hose (Out).
  3. Screw the cap ⑧ onto the filling opening ⑨ by hand.
  4. Slowly add at least 2.2 l of water through the filling opening ⑨ until a stable water level is reached that is level with the suction connection [Fig. A4].
  5. If using a suction set with check valve: Fill the suction hose with water. This speeds up the priming process.
  6. Drain the residual water out of the pressure hose ⑥ before connecting it. This allows the air to escape during the priming process.
  7. After filling the pump unit: Connect the pressure hose (Out) to the pump unit.
  8. Screw the cap ⑧ fully onto the filling opening ⑨ by hand (do not use any tools).
  9. Open any shut-off valves in the delivery line (watering accessories, water stop etc.). All consumers must be open as wide as possible.
  10. Connect the power cable plug to a mains socket.
  11. For high suction heights: Lift and hold the pressure hose ⑥ at least 1.8 m above the PTU during the priming process.
  12. To start automatic mode, press the key (see "6 Operation"). The pump unit starts and delivers water after the priming process.

Note:

  • The priming process can take up to five minutes.
  • When using for the first time, there may be a brief (approx. 10 seconds) increase in noise level near the tank.

If the pump is not pumping water after five minutes:

  1. Let the pump unit cool down.
  2. Look for possible causes in the error tables (see "11.2 Error messages") and (see "11.3 Error table for the PTU").
  3. Restart the pump unit.

4.2.2 Stopping the pump unit

To stop automatic mode, press the ☐ key.

4.2.3 Max. flow values

The pump unit has a bypass valve to enable short suction times. If the hose end is open without a watering accessory or the hose diameters are very large, the valve may not be able to change from suction to pump operation due to the hydraulic pressure conditions.

To take advantage of the full pumping power, you can then close the water outlet for about 1 second while the engine is running (e.g. by kinking the hose). This allows the valve to take its correct position. In standard applications with watering accessories such as sprayers and sprinklers, this is done automatically.

4.3 Installing a pre-filter (accessory)

If a pre-filter is too long, it may be installed in a different position (for example horizontally) rather than vertically facing downwards.

4.4 Using sprinklers

Switching the pump unit on and off automatically may result in an uneven irrigation pattern depending on the flow rate of the sprinkler. This effect can be cancelled by activating the special function “Power-boost” (see “8.3 Power Boost”).

This chapter provides an overview of all the functions of your PTU. All adjustable functions can be found in the settings of your PTU (see "8 Settings").

5.1 How the pressure tank unit works

After being filled, the pump unit draws in water from a depth of up to 8 m and pumps it into the pressure tank. This stores the water, which is pressurised by means of a pre-set air pressure and a separating membrane.

The pump unit starts when water is removed and the intended cut-in pressure is reached (see “12 Technical data”) and stops the filling process again when the switch-off pressure is reached. This means that small quantities of water can be pumped out of the pressure tank in an energy-efficient manner. At high flow rates, such as for irrigation, however, the pressure fluctuations between the on and off pressure are clearly perceptible. This effect can be cancelled by activating the special function “Powerboost”.

5.2 Adjustable pressure ranges

You can set the pressure range for your PTU manually (see “8.2 Mode (adjustable pressure ranges)”). You have the option of choosing between two predefined pressure ranges or an individually defined range:

Art. 9067 Art. 9068

ECO
Cut-in pressure1.5 bar1.5 bar
Cut-out pressure2.6 bar2.6 bar
Normal
Cut-in pressure1.8 bar1.8 bar
Cut-out pressure3.3 bar3.3 bar
Individual:
Cut-in pressure1.5–2.3 bar1.5–2.6 bar
Cut-out pressure2.5–3.3 bar2.5–3.6 bar

Note: A cut-out pressure of more than 3.3 bar is only possible at a suction height of less than 5 m.

5.3 Power Boost

The Powerboost function reliably detects high flow rates (e.g. in a sprinkler) and continues pumping despite reaching the switch-off pressure. After watering has been completed (including a follow-up time), the PTU returns to the previously selected pressure mode, provided that the demand is only for small flows (e.g. for toilet flushing or drip irrigation).

5.4 Bluetooth®

The Bluetooth function offers you a convenient way to control your PTU using the GARDENA Bluetooth® app. To do this, you must pair your PTU with your mobile device (Android® or iOS®) via Bluetooth® (see “8.4 Bluetooth”).

5.5 Timers and watering schedules

In addition to switching your PTU on and off manually, you can also switch it on and off using the timer function or watering schedules.

Note that when the consumer unit is open, the pressure tank drains after the timer has expired or at the end of the watering schedule, even though the pump unit is switched off.

5.5.1 Timer

The timer function allows you to set the desired run time of your PTU. You can choose between 1 and 99 minutes. As soon as the timer has expired, your PTU switches off automatically.

5.5.2 Irrigation schedules (exclusive app function)

The Bluetooth app allows you to create, manage and delete watering schedules for your PTU. So it's active and ready to draw water precisely when you need it. Please note that this feature is only available via the Bluetooth app.

Note:

The PTU schedules are based on the last synchronised time (last Bluetooth connection). If the PTU is disconnected from the mains for a long period of time, the time stored in the PTU pauses. To match the stored time to the current time again, connect the PTU to a mobile device.

Tip:

→ Watering schedules can also be used to program rest times. To do so, set a schedule for the utilisation times.

→Synchronise the time during commissioning in the spring.

The schedules are saved.

5.5.3 Optional soil moisture sensor (Art. 1867)

In addition to time-dependent control, there is also the option to take the soil moisture level into account. If there is sufficient soil moisture, watering is skipped. Make sure that there are charged rechargeable batteries or batteries in the soil moisture sensor.

5.6 Safe-pump

The PTU is equipped with the safe-pump function to protect it from damage during operation.

The safe-pump function is able to detect the following occurrences:

- Suction problems during commissioning

• Dry running (e.g., water source is depleted)

• Overheating of the water

• Engine overheating

• Warning about the risk of frost

- Mechanical faults (e.g., jammed or missing check valve)

If one of these occurrences reaches a critical point, a safety switch-off or warning message is triggered (see “11.2 Error messages”).

5.6.1 Automatic restart

In case of suction or dry running problems, an automatic restart takes place after 1, 5, 12, and finally every 24 hours. In the case of saved watering schedules, a restart takes place at the beginning of the next schedule.

5.7 Reminder

Use the reminder function to remind yourself of the next filter cleaning based on operating hours and your own experience (local water pollution level).

5.8 Direct start

With the “Direct start” function, the PTU starts as soon as it is supplied with power. This function is particularly suitable for operation with a timer or the GARDENA “smart Power adapter” (Art. 19095/19096).

5.9 Safety

Your PTU has two optional safety options.

5.9.1 Leakage detection

The leakage detection function can detect small leaks and thus prevent water loss. It ensures that your PTU is automatically stopped if a permanently low water flow is detected. This feature is disabled by default.

5.9.2 Maximum run time

The function “Max. run time” limits the time of continuous water output by performing a safety switch-off, e.g. in the case of a burst garden hose. By using the “Max. run time” function, it is possible to define how long the PTU can draw water continuously. As soon as the set time is reached, the PTU automatically stops and thus effectively protects against increased water loss due to possible major leaks in the piping system.

5.10 Factory settings

Use this function to reset your PTU to factory settings. This resets all of your settings, such as Bluetooth connections, schedules, maximum run time and other customisations.

Note:

If you want to reconnect your mobile device after deleting all settings, an error message appears.

→ Remove your PTU from the Bluetooth® settings of your mobile device to correct the error.

→ Make sure that all parts have been properly secured after maintenance.

9.1 Cleaning the pressure tank unit [Fig. M1]

GARDENA 5600 SilentComfort - Cleaning the pressure tank unit [Fig. M1] - 1

DANGER!

Risk of injury and damage to property!

Not cleaning the product properly can injure people and damage the product.

→ Do not use water or a water jet (especially a high-pressure water jet) to clean the product.

Do not use chemicals, including gasoline or solvents, to clean the product.

Some of these substances can destroy important plastic parts.

→ Clean the housing of the pressure tank unit with a damp cloth.

9.2 Flushing the pump unit

The pump unit must be flushed after it has pumped chlorinated water.

  1. Pump lukewarm water (max. 35°C), possibly with the addition of a mild cleaning fluid (e.g. washing-up liquid), until the pumped water is clear.
  2. Dispose of the residues as specified in local waste disposal guidelines.

9.3 Checking the air pressure in the reservoir [Fig. M1]

Check the air pressure in the reservoir if the device starts to misbehave.

The air pressure in the reservoir must be 1.0 bar. An air pump/tyre inflater with a pressure gauge is required to top up the air. Excessive air pressure does not increase the water pressure and causes malfunctions.

  1. Unscrew the protective cap ⑪.
  2. Open any shut-off valves in the delivery line (watering accessories, water stop etc.).
  3. This causes the pressure side to depressurise.
  4. Attach the air pump/tyre inflater to the reservoir valve 12 (car valve).
  5. Top up with air until the pressure gauge on the air pump/tyre inflater shows 1.0 bar.
  6. Screw the protective cap ⑪ back into place.

9.4 Cleaning the filter [Fig. M2]

Depending on the level of water pollution, the filter should be cleaned at regular intervals, at the latest if it malfunctions.

  1. Close all the shut-off valves on the suction side.
  2. Open any shut-off valves in the delivery line (watering accessories, water stop etc.).
  3. This causes the pressure side to depressurise.
  4. Unscrew the fitting ⑧ on the filler neck ⑨ by hand (do not use any tools).
  5. Pull the filter ⑬ vertically out of the filler neck ⑨.
  6. Hold the cup ⑭ tight and turn the filter ⑬ anticlockwise out of the cup ⑭ (bayonet lock).
  7. Rinse the cup ⑭ under running water.
  8. Use e.g. a soft brush to clean the filter ⑬.
  9. Reinstall the filter ⑬ in reverse order.

9.5 Cleaning the check valve [Fig. M3/M4]

  1. Open the dirt cover ⓐ of the soil moisture sensor or unplug the connected soil moisture sensor.
  2. Unscrew the 6 screws ⑤a, ⑤b, and ⑤c.
  3. Pull off the two shells ⑯.
  4. Unscrew the cap ⑱ anticlockwise using an Allen key (width 10).
  5. Pull the check valve ⑲ out of the valve opening Ⓥ.
  6. Rinse the check valve ⑲ under running water.
  7. Clean the valve opening Ⓥ with a damp cloth (without cleaning fluid).
  8. Reinstall the check valve ⑲ in reverse order.
  9. Check the movement of the check valve ⑲.
  10. Reinstall the two shells ⑯ in reverse order.
  11. Close the dirt cover ⓐ of the soil moisture sensor or plug the soil moisture sensor back in.

  1. Disconnect the plug from the mains socket.
  2. Close any shut-off valves in the suction line.
  3. Open any shut-off valves in the delivery line (watering accessories, water stop etc.).
  4. This causes the pressure side to depressurise.
  5. Unscrew the fitting ⑧ on the filler neck ⑨ and the water drain plug ⑩ by hand.
  6. This empties the PTU.
  7. Tilt the PTU slightly towards the drain (up to 80°) so that the PTU drains fully.
  8. Unscrew the suction hose and the pressure hose.
  9. Screw the fitting tight ⑧ on the filling opening ⑨ and the water drain plug ⑩ by hand (do not use any tools).
  10. Store the PTU in a dry, covered and frost-proof location.
