The domestic water system may only be connected to an electrical device which is compliant with DIN/VDE 0100, Parts 737, 738 and 702 (swimming pools). Make sure that fuse protection in the form of a 10 A automatic cut-out and a fault current guard circuit with a nominal fault current of 10/30 mA is installed.

The supply voltage and current specified on the type plate must be identical with the voltage and current of your electrical system.

If you need to connect your domestic water system to an extension cord, make sure that the cable is 3 x 1.5 mm

that it corresponds to type H07RN-F and is compliant with DIN 57282/57245. The connector must be splash-proof. Cable drums must be completely unwound.

Please make sure that the system is not operated by anyone − who has not read or does not fully understand the operating instructions

− is under the age of 16.

The domestic water system may not be used for any other than its designated use. Before putting the system into operation, make sure that – the pump, reservoir, the electric cable and the plug are not worn or damaged.

Do not operate the system if it is dam- aged. Necessary repairs must be carried out in a qualified AL-KO service centre.

Never use the electric cable to lift, carry or attach the system to another object. Do not pull on the cable when unplugging the system.

Make sure that the system is unplugged before beginning any maintenance, repair or cleaning work. In the event of a malfunction, immediately unplug the system. Make sure that the plug does not get wet.

Do not attempt to make any changes or modifications to the device by yourself. You may endanger your life or invalidate the warranty.

Risk of injury due to hot water! The water in the pump can heat up sig- nificantly, during longer periods of opera- tion (>10 min) against closed outlet side. This hazard can occur due to: − side under compression closed − lack of water in the suction pipe − 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 pipes for water-tightness − check installation − check pressure switch − only restart pump after rectifying the cause of the fault GB 1Use GB 2 Designated use 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 following 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 following 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 Description of the system Domestic water system/accessories (Figs.

Scope of supply Your domestic water system comes equipped with a pressure switch, a pressure gauge and an electric cable with an earthing-contact type plug. 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 suction hose (1) and lets it out into the reservoir (6). Upon reaching the set cut-out pressure (reservoir is full), the system automatically 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 completed 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 (1) 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.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. Mount a non-return valve in the suction hose to prevent the liquid from running back out of the pump.

• Attach the suction hose. Make sure to screw it in tightly, but take care not to damage the threads. GB 3 If the liquid to be pumped is deeper than 4 m, you should use a suction hose which is larger than 1“ in diametre 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. Before pumping sandy water, you must insert a filter (13) between the suction hose and the pump inlet or you will dam- age your domestic water system. The filter is available at your local retailer’s.

• 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

• Attach the pressure hose. Make sure to screw it in tightly, but take care not to damage 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 chamber 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 pressure line. When the pressure has fallen and the reservoir is full, the pump will automatically 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. Clearing blockages If your domestic water system should become blocked so that it does not suction or pump out liquid, remove the obstruction as follows:

• Remove the suction hose from the pump inlet (1).

• Attach the pressure hose to the water tap and spray water into the pump chamber until the blockage is flushed out.

• Check to see that the obstruction has been cleared entirely by switching on the pump for a short time. Do not let the pump suck air.

• If the pump runs trouble-free, put it into opera tion as described in the instructions. 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 screw (9) and drain all water from the pump chamber. The water contained in the reservoir will be pressed out by the air bellows.

• Replace the draining screw and store the de vice so that it is protected from frost.Setting the pressure switch Disposal GB 4 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), also see Figure C.

• Unplug the electric cable from the socket.

• Remove the protective cover from the pressure switch.

• Use a screwdriver to set the desired pressure: A= Cut-in pressure B= Cut-out pressure Increase pressure = + Decrease pressure = –

• Close the pressure switch by replacing the cover.

• Put the system into operation and check the changed pressures. Please observe the max. permissible pumping height and pressure; see technical data. Checking the inlet pressure

• Unplug the electric cable from the socket.

• Open the pressure line and drain the water off until the pump is completely empty.

• Check the inlet pressure at the diaphragm (5). The pressure should be approx. 1.5 bar. Correct the pressure if needed.

• Put the domestic water system into operation as set out in the instructions.
