Function The domestic water system works automatically. The pump automatically switches on or off depen- ding on the pressure set (see technical data). The system sucks the liquid to be pumped through the pump inlet (1) and lets it out into the reservoir (6). Upon reaching the set cut-out pressure (re- servoir is full), the system automatically switches off. As soon as the pressure falls to below 2,0 bar (wa- ter is drained from the reservoir), the system au- tomatically switches back on and continues pum- ping the liquid until either the reservoir is full or any draining process running has been completed and the reservoir is full. Thermal protection The unit is fitted with a thermal protection switch which switches the motor off in the event of over- heating. The pump switches on again automati- cally after a cooling down period of approx. 15 - 20 minutes. 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 put- ting 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 is- sued by your local water works. If necessary, ask a plumber.Product description 477394_a 13 The system is designed to pump only the following liquids: clear water rain water Possible misuse Your domestic water system is not intended for permanent operation. The pump may not be used to pump the following liquids: drinking water salt water beverages or liquid foods corrosives or chemicals acids or combustible, explosive or gasfor- ming liquids liquids with a temperature above 35 °C sandy water or water containing abrasives SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION! 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. CAUTION! The supply voltage and current specified on the type plate must be identical with the voltage and current of your electrical system. CAUTION! If you need to connect your domestic wa- ter system to an extension cord, make sure that the cable is 3 x 1.5 mm2, which 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. CAUTION! Do not attempt to make any changes or modifications to the device by yourself. You may endanger your life or invalidate the warranty. CAUTION! Do not operate the system if it is dama- ged. Necessary repairs must be carried out in a qualified AL-KO service centre. CAUTION! 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. CAUTION! Make sure that the system is unplugged before beginning any maintenance, re- pair or cleaning work. In the event of a malfunction, immediately unplug the sys- tem. Make sure that the plug does not get wet. CAUTION! The domestic water system may not be used for any other than its designated use. Before putting the system into ope- ration, make sure that the pump, reservoir, the electric ca- ble and the plug are not worn or da- maged.en Safety instructions 14 477394_a CAUTION! Risk of injury due to hot water! The water in the pump can heat up signi- ficantly, during longer periods of opera- tion (>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 Children, or other people who are not familiar with the operating instructions, are not allo- wed to use the machine STARTUP CAUTION! 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 ques- tions, ask your retailer. CAUTION! When operating the system (automatic operation), take appropriate measures to ensure that damage due to flooding can- not occur if the system should malfunc- tion. This can be ensured, for instance, by installing an alarm system or a re- serve pump. ADVICE 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 Che-

cking 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. Attaching the suction hose CAUTION! 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 pum- ped while the pump is in operation. ADVICE 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. ADVICE If the suction hose is laid so that it is hig- her than the device, bubbles will be come trapped in the line and the pump will suck air.

1. Attach the suction hose. Make sure to screw

it in tightly, but take care not to damage the threads.

2. When laying the suction hose, make sure that

it is lower than the system. Attaching the pressure hose

1. Attach the pressure hose. Make sure to screw

it in tightly, but take care not to damage the threads.Startup 477394_a 15 Filling the pump CAUTION! 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 ope- rate the pump while it is dry because this will cause serious damage to the pump.

1. Remove the filler screw (2).

2. Pour water into the opening until the chamber

of the pump (12) is full.

3. Replace the filler screw (2) and tighten it.

Switching on the system

1. Open the pressure line (open valve, sprayer,

2. Plug the electric cable into the socket. The

pump will automatically begin to run.

3. 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 Pump

1. To switch off the pump, just pull the plug of

the electric cable from the socket.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

CAUTION! Before beginning any maintenance or cleaning work, make sure that the pump has been unplugged and take precauti- ons to ensure that it cannot be switched on during work! Cleaning the pump If you have used your pump to pump chlorine water (pool water) or liquids which leave a re- sidue, flush your pump out with clear water after use. Clean the suction slots located in the suction body with clear water as required. Clearing blockages If your domestic water system should become blo- cked so that it does not suction or pump out liquid, remove the obstruction as follows:

1. Remove the suction hose from the pump inlet

2. Attach the pressure hose to the water tap and

spray water into the pump chamber until the blockage is flushed out.

3. 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.

4. 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.

1. Empty the suction and pressure hoses.

2. Remove the draining screw (9) drain all water

from the pump chamber. The water contained in the reservoir will be pressed out by the air bellows.

3. Replace the draining screws and store the de-

vice so that it is protected from frost. Setting the pressure switch ADVICE Please observe the max. permissible pumping height and pressure; see tech- nical data. 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 desi- red, you can adjust the setting as desired at the pressure switch (10), also see Figure C.

1. Unplug the electric cable from the socket.

2. Remove the protective cover from the pres-

3. Use a screwdriver to set the desired pressure:

A= Cut-in pressure B= Cut-out pressure Increase pressure = + Decrease pressure = –

4. Close the pressure switch by replacing the co-

5. Put the system into operation and check the

changed pressures. Checking the inlet pressure

1. Unplug the electric cable from the socket.

2. Open the pressure line and drain the water off

until the pump is completely empty.

4. The pressure should be approx. 1.5 bar. Cor-

rect the pressure if needed.

5. Put the domestic water system into operation

as set out in the instructions. DISPOSAL Do not dispose of worn-out machines or spent batteries (including recharge- able batteries) in domestic waste!
