Risk of injury due to hot water! The water in the pump can heat up signifi- cantly, during longer periods of operation (>10 min) against closed outlet side. This hazard can occur due to: − side under compression closed − water shortage in the suction line − improper installation − faulty pressure switch In this case: − isolate the pump from the mains − allow the pump and water to cool down − check water level on inlet side − check lines for tightness − check installation − check pressure switch − only restart pump after rectifying the cause of the fault GB 1 Translation of original user instructionsDesignated use Translation of original user instructions GB 2 The domestic water system is designed for home use in your house or garden. Please observe the technical data given in the instructions before putting the system into operation. Your domestic water system has been designed for use in the following applications: − irrigation and watering, e.g. of your lawn or flower and vegetable gardens, − domestic water supply, − increasing pressure in the domestic water supply. Please observe the regulations issued by your local water works. If necessary, ask a plumber. The system is designed to pump only the follow- ing liquids: − clear water, − rain water. Prohibited use Your domestic water system is not intended for permanent operation. The system may not be used to pump the follow- ing liquids: − saltwater, − beverages or liquid foods, − corrosives or chemicals, − acids or combustible, explosive or gas- forming liquids, − liquids with a temperature above 35 °C, − sandy water or water containing abrasives.

A filter key (see Fig. C) is part of the scope of supply. The accessory is not part of the scope of supply. Function The domestic water system works automatically. The pump automatically switches on or off de- pending on the pressure set (see technical data). The system sucks the liquid to be pumped through the pump inlet (13) and lets it out into the reservoir (6). Upon reaching the set cut-out pressure (reservoir is full), the system automati- cally switches off. As soon as the pressure falls to below 2,0 bar (water is drained from the reservoir), the system automatically switches back on and continues pumping the liquid until either the reservoir is full or any draining process running has been com- pleted and the reservoir is full. Thermal protection Your domestic water system is equipped with a thermal protection switch, which switches the pump off if it overheats. The pump will remain off until it has cooled down. After about 15 - 20 minutes, the pump will automatically switch on. Setting up and operating the system Before putting your domestic water sys- tem into operation, check the inlet pres- sure at the diaphragm which can be read out from the valve (5) on the reservoir. Make sure that the pressure is approx. 1.5 bar and correct if required (see Checking the Inlet Pressure).

• Place the device onto a hard, flat surface so that it cannot tip over and so that it will not be near the flow of water.• Make sure that the device is protected from rain and any direct exposure to water. When attaching the suction and pressure hoses, make sure that they do not exert a tension on the device. We recommend the use of flexible hoses at the pump inlet (13) and outlet (3). If you have any questions, ask your retailer. When operating the system (automatic operation), take appropriate measures to ensure that damage due to flooding can- not occur if the system should malfunction. This can be ensured, for instance, by installing an alarm system or a reserve pump. Attaching the suction hose Choose a hose which is long enough so that the device will not suck in air and run dry. The hose should be at least 30cm under the surface of the liquid to be pumped while the pump is in operation.

• Attach the suction hose. Make sure to screw it in tightly, but take care not to damage the threads. If the liquid to be pumped is deeper than 4 m, you should use a suction hose which is larger than 1“ in diameter for the best performance. We recommend our AL-KO suction set (14), which consists of a suction hose, strainer and non-return valve. The suction set is available at your local retailer’s. GB 3 Translation of original user instructions

• When laying the suction hose, make sure that it is lower than the system. If the suction hose is laid so that it is higher than the device, bubbles will be- come trapped in the line and the pump will suck air. Attaching the pressure hose

• Screw the connection nipple (17) with the round seal ring (18) in the pump outlet (3).

• Screw the angular nipple (15) with the flat seal (16) on the connection nipple (17) and rotate the angular nipple in the desired direc- tion.

• Attach the pressure hose. Make sure to screw it in tightly, but take care not to dam- age the threads. Filling the pump Before putting your domestic water sys- tem into operation, you must fill the pump chamber with water until it overflows to achieve full suction power. Do not operate the pump while it is dry because this will cause serious damage to the pump.

• Remove the filler screw (2).

• Pour water into the opening until the cham- ber of the pump (12) is full.

• Replace the filler screw (2) and tighten it. Switching on the system

• Open the pressure line (open valve, sprayer, tap, etc.).

• Plug the electric cable into the socket. The pump will automatically begin to run.

• As soon as the flow of water is cleared of air bubbles trapped in the line, close the pres- sure line. When the pressure has fallen and the reservoir is full, the pump will automati- cally switch off. Your domestic water system is now ready for operation. Switching off the system

• Switch the system off by unplugging the electric cable from the socket. Maintenance and Cleaning

Before beginning any maintenance or cleaning work, make sure that the device has been unplugged and take precautions to ensure that it cannot be switched on during work! Cleaning the system If you have used your domestic water system to pump chlorine water (swimming pool water) or liquids which leave a residue, flush your pump out with clear water after use. Cleaning the filter

• Remove the screw plug (12) from the drain- age opening, empty the filter chamber and close the drainage opening again

• Unscrew the filter cover (14) with the help of the filter spanner.

• Remove the filter (22) from the pump head and clean it under flowing water.Checking the inlet pressure

• Prior to installing the filter, check the two seals (21) on the filter and the seal (16) for damage, if necessary renew.

• Unplug the electric cable from the socket.

• Open the pressure line and drain the water off until the pump is completely empty. The seal (25) must be correctly inserted in the seal seat on the pump head (see Detail in Fig. C). If necessary lightly grease the seal with non-acidic fat.

• Check the inlet pressure at the diaphragm (5).

• The pressure should be approx. 1.5 bar. Correct the pressure if needed.

• Install the filter, screw on filter cover and tighten firmly with the hand using filter span- ner.

• Put the domestic water system into operation as set out in the instructions. Disposal Removing and mounting of non-return valve, cleaning RL 2002/96 EG Do not dispose of worn-out units through the household garbage! The appliance, its packaging and accessories are all produced from recyclable materials and must be disposed of accordingly.

• Remove the filter (see Section "cleaning the filter").

• Unscrew the non-return valve (23) and clean it under flowing water.

• Install the filter and filter cover. Frost protection Your domestic water system is susceptible to low temperatures. Make sure to empty the device of residual liquid (hoses, pump and reservoir) and store it so that it is protected from frost.

• Empty the suction and pressure hoses.

• Remove the draining screws (9) and (12) drain all water from the pump chamber. The water contained in the reservoir will be pressed out by the air bellows.

• Replace the draining screws and store the device so that it is protected from frost.

Setting the pressure switch

The cut-in and cut-out pressures at which the sys- tem starts and stops operating have been set in the factory (see technical data). However, if desired, you can adjust the setting as desired at the pressure switch (10).

Settings on the pushbutton switch and on the electrical part of the house water plant may be performed only by the responsible customer service. Translation of original user instructions GB 4Malfunctions
