Frequently Asked Questions - FXGP1600 Fuxtec

How do I prime the FXGP1600 pump before first use?

Open the filling screw on the pump body, fill with water up to the mark, then screw back. Never run the pump dry.

What liquids can I pump with this pump?

Clear water, rainwater, and chlorinated water (pools). Do not pump drinking water, salt water, food, wastewater, aggressive or flammable liquids.

What is the maximum suction depth?

The maximum suction depth is 8 meters. For heights above 4 m, use a suction hose with a diameter larger than 1 inch.

What to do if the motor does not start?

First check the power supply and fuses. Wait for the thermal switch to cool down (15-20 min). If the impeller is blocked, clean it through the rear opening of the housing.

Why does the pump run but not deliver water?

Possible causes: water level too low, air in the pump body (reprime), air suction (check connections), or delivery pipe closed or kinked.

How to maintain the pump?

Rinse the pump with clean water after each use. For permanent installation, check proper operation every 3 months. Clean sediments regularly.

Can I let the pump run dry?

No, dry running can destroy the pump. Always fill with water before starting and ensure the suction pipe is submerged.

What to do in case of overheating?

The pump is equipped with a thermal protection switch that cuts off the motor in case of overheating. Wait about 15-20 minutes for it to cool down and it will reset automatically.

How to store the pump in winter?

Drain all pipes and open the drain screw to remove water. Close the screw and store the pump in a dry and frost-free place.

Is this pump suitable for seawater?

No, salt water is prohibited as it would damage the pump. Use it only for clear water, rainwater, or chlorinated pool water.

• fluids that are hotter than 35 °C
• water containing sand and abrasive fluids

This appliance can be used by children of 8 years and older and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or those lacking experience and knowledge, if they are supervised or have been instructed with regard to the safe use of the appliance and the ensuing risks. Children must not be allowed to play with the appliance. Cleaning and maintenance must not be carried out by children without supervision.

People with very strong and complex restrictions may have needs that exceed the instructions described here.

Never lift, transport or affix the pump by the mains cable. Do not pull the mains cable in order to pull the mains plug out of the socket.

Unauthorised modifications or conversions to the pump are prohibited. Repairs may only be carried out by our customer service.

Disconnect the mains plug before working on the device. Protect the mains plug against

moisture.

Only use the pump and extension cable if they are in flawless technical condition.

Damaged appliances must not be operated.

Maintain a safe distance to persons or animals or switch off the pump if animals approach.

The pump may not be operated while people are in the pool or pond.

The mains voltage at your location must comply with the information regarding mains voltage in the Technical Data. Do not use any other supply voltage.

The appliance must only be operated on electrical equipment in accordance with DIN/VDE 0100, parts 737, 738 and 702. For fuse protection, a circuit breaker of 10 A and an earth leakage circuit breaker with a rated leakage current of 10/30 mA must be installed.

Damaged or fragile extension cables may not be used.

Check the condition of you extension cable prior to every use.

Note:

The pump is fitted with a thermal protection switch which switches the motor off in the event of overheating. After a coolingdown phase of approx. 15 - 20 minutes the pump switches on again automatically.

10.4 Mounting and starting the device

1. Prepare a level and sturdy installation location
2. Install the pump horizontally and where it will not be flooded

Note:

The pump must be protected from rain and direct water jets

Connect the suction line

Note:

We recommend the installation of flexible lines at the pump inlet to prevent mechanical pressure or tension being exerted on the pump.

1. Select the length of the suction line such that the pump cannot run dry. The suction line must always be at least 30 cm under the water surface.
2. Connect the suction line. Ensure that the connection is tight, but take care not to damage the thread.
3. If the water carries a small amount of sand, aprefilter must be installed between suction line and pump inlet.
4. Always lay the suction line with an upward gradient.

Note:

If the suction head is more than 4 m, a suction hose with a diameter larger than 1" must be installed.

Install pressure line

1. Screw connecting nipple (13) with round seal ring (14) into pump outlet (2).
2. Screw elbow nipple (11) with seal (12) onto connecting nipple (13) and turn the elbow nipple in the required direction.
3. Connect pressure line (10) to elbow nipple (11).
4. Open all shut-off devices (valves, spray nozzles, water tap) in the pressure line.

Operation

Important:

Danger of damage to the device. Dry running will destroy the pump!

The pump must be filled with water up to the overflow before each use so that it can draw water immediately.

• Open filling screw (8).
• Fill with water via the filling screw up to the mark on the pump housing
• Screw in the filling screws again.

Switching on

1. Open all shut-off devices (valve, spray nozzle, water cock) in the pressure line.
2. Insert the plug of the mains cable into the power socket.
3. Switch on the pump at the on / off switch.

Important:

Danger of damage to the pump! A closed pressure line can result in damage to the pump. Do not allow the pump to run against a closed pressure line.

Switching off

Switch the pump off at the on / off switch after use. Close all the shut-off devices in the pressure line.

Important:

Danger of injury from hot water. After extended use against the closed pressure side (> 10 min.), the water in the pump can become very hot and may escape uncontrolled! Disconnect the pump from the mains supply and allow the pump and water to cool down. Put the pump into operation again only after all the faults have been remedied!

The risk of injury from hot water can arise in the event of:

• Incorrect installation,
• Closed pressure side,
• Lack of water in the suction line, or
• Defective pressure switch

Procedure in case of overheating

1. Disconnect the pump from the mains supply and allow the pump and water to cool down
2. Check the pump, installation and water level.
3. Put the pump into operation again only after all the faults have been remedied!

10.5 HELP IN CASE OF MALFUNCTION

Danger of electric shock

When working on the pump, there is the risk of receiving an electric shock.

• Disconnect the mains plug before correcting any malfunctions!
• Faults in the electrical system must be rectified by a qualified electrician.

Malfunction	Possible cause	Remedy
Motor does not run.	Impeller blocked.	Remove dirt from the suction area.Clean with a suitable tool through the opening on the back of the motor housing.
	Thermal protection switch has switched off.	Wait until the thermal protection switch on the pump switches on again. Take note of the maximum temperature of the conveying medium. Have the pump inspected.
	No mains power.	Check fuses, have the power supply checked by a qualified electrician.
Pump running but does not feed.	Water level too low.	Submerge the suction hose deeper.
	Air in pump housing.	Fill the pump.
	Pump drawing in air.	Check all connections and the cover on the filter for leaks.
	Blockage on the suction side.	Caution!Risk of burns from hot water!Remove dirt from the suction area.
	Pressure line closed off.	Caution!Risk of burns from hot water!Open the pressure lone.
	Pressure hose kinked.	Extend the pressure hose.
Delivery rate too low.	Pressure hose kinked.	Extend the pressure hose.
	Hose diameter too small.	Use a hose with a bigger diameter.
	Blockage on the suction side.	Remove dirt from the suction area.
	Feed head to high.	Observe max. feed head, see tech-

Suction head too large.

nical data!Check suction head, observe max.suction head → see technical data.
