Frequently Asked Questions - GP 3000 EINHELL

How to prime the GP 3000 pump?

Fill the pump with water through the discharge connection before startup. Make sure the shut-off valves in the discharge line are fully open to allow air to escape. The first suction process may take 0.5 to 5 minutes depending on the suction head.

What is the maximum temperature of the pumped water?

The maximum fluid temperature is 35 °C in continuous operation.

Can the pump be used with pool water?

Yes, but only with a residual current circuit breaker of max. 30 mA (according to VDE 702). The pump can pump clear water including pool water, but not aggressive or abrasive liquids.

What to do if the pump does not suck?

Check that the suction valve is submerged, the pump body is filled with water, and the suction line is tight. Clean the suction strainer if necessary. The suction head must not exceed 5 m.

How to clean the pump?

Before any maintenance, disconnect the pump. Rinse it thoroughly with clear water. To remove a blockage, connect the discharge line to running water and switch the pump on and off in 2-second intervals.

What to do in case of frost risk?

Completely empty the pump and store it in a dry, frost-free place. Before long periods of non-use, rinse, empty, and store dry.

What is the maximum suction head?

The maximum suction head is 5 meters.

How to change the power cable?

A defective cable must only be replaced by a qualified electrician. Never attempt to repair the cable yourself.

Can the pump run dry?

No, it is forbidden to run the pump dry. This would damage the pump and void the warranty.

What to do in case of insufficient flow?

Check the suction head (max 5 m), clean the suction strainer, and place the suction valve lower if the water level drops. If power decreases due to deposits, disassemble and clean the pump.

• Please read the instructions for use very carefully and observe the information they contain. By referring to these instructions, familiarize yourself with the appliance, learn how to use it correctly, and note the safety precautions to be taken.
  ●Take the appropriate steps to ensure that children have no access to the appliance.
  ●The user of the appliance is responsible for any third parties in the work area.
  ●Before using the appliance for the first time, an electrician must check that the necessary electrical protection measures have been taken.
  ●No one is to be in the medium to be pumped while the pump is in operation.
  ●The pump may be operated in swimming pools, garden ponds, bog gadens, fountains and the like only with a leakage-current circuit-breaker (maximum leakage current 30 mA as per VDE Regulation Part 702). Please ask your electrician.
  ●Inspect the appliance before each use. Do not use the appliance if the safety devices are damaged or worn. Never deactivate the safety devices.
• Use the appliance only for the purposes specified in these instructions for use.
  ●You are responsible for safety in the work area.
• Should the pump cable or plug be damaged by external influences, the cable must not be repaired! The cable must be replaced with a new one. This work is to be performed only by an electrician. (See section „Replacing the mains cable“.)

• Your mains supply must comply with the voltage of 230 V alternating voltage specified on the type plate.
  ●Never lift, transport or secure the pump by its power cable.
  ●Make sure the appliance is plugged into a socket in a place where there is no risk of flooding and which is protected against moisture.
  ●Always remove the plug from the socket before doing any work on the pump.
  ●Avoid exposing the pump to a direct jet of water.
  ●The operator is responsible for any local safety and installation regulations. (Ask your electrician for advice.)

• Rule out any indirect damage caused by the flooding of rooms following the failure of the pump by adopting the appropriate measures (e.g. the installation of an alarm system, a reserve pump or the like).

• If the pump fails, any repair work necessary must be performed only by an electrician or the ISC Customer Service.
  ●Use only original Einhell spare parts.
• Never let the pump run dry and never operate it with fully closed intake power. The manufacturer's warranty shall lapse if the pump is damaged due to it being allowed to run dry.

2. Durability

The maximum temperature of the medium to be pumped in continuous operation should not exceed +35°C.

This pump is not to be used to pump combustible, gaseous or explosive fluids.

The pumping of aggressive fluids (acids, alkalis, silo seepage etc.) and abrasive substances (sand) should also be avoided.

3. Applications

Areas of use:

●For irrigating and watering parks, vegetable patches and gardens
●For operating lawn sprinklers
●With a prefilter, for drawing water from ponds, streams, rain-butts, rain-water cisterns and wells.

Media which can be pumped:

For the pumping of clear water (fresh water), rain water or mild suds/dirty water.

4. Operating instructions

Basically, we recommend the use of a prefilter and an intake set with an intake hose, an intake strainer and check valve in order to prevent long repriming times and any unnecessary damage to the pump caused by stones and hard foreign bodies.

6. Electrical connections

• Connect the power cable to a 230 V 50 Hz earthed, 10 amp fuse minimum.
  ●The appliance is switched on and off using the integrated ON/OFF switch. The pilot lamp inside the switch lights up when the motor is switched on.
  ●The motor is protected against overloading or blocking by an integrated thermostat. In the event of overheating, the thermostat switches off the pump automatically. The pump will start up again automatically after it has cooled down.

7. Intake line

• Screw an intake hose (min. 3/4" plastic hose with spiral reinforcement) either directly or with a threaded nipple to the pump's intake connection (1" IG) (see Fig. 1).
  ●The intake hose used should have an intake valve. If the intake valve cannot be used, a check valve should be installed in the intake line.
  ●The intake hose should rise from the water pick-up point to the pump. Always avoid laying the intake line higher than the pump. Air bubbles in the intake line delay and hinder suction.

●The intake and pressure lines must be attached in such a way that they do not place the pump under any mechanical strain.
●The intake valve should be so far immersed in the water that the pump cannot run dry even if the water level falls.
- If the intake line is not air-tight, the intake of air will hinder the intake of water.
●Avoid drawing in foreign bodies (sand etc.). If necessary, install a prefilter for this purpose.

GB

8. Pressure line connection

• The pressure line (should be at least 3/4") must be connected to the pump's pressure line connection (1" IG) either directly or via a threaded nipple.
  ●A 1/2" pressure hose can also be used with the appropriate screw connections, of course, but this will reduce the delivery rate.
• All shut-off devices (spray nozzles, valves etc.) in the pressure line must be fully opened when priming so that any air in the intake line can escape.

9. Starting up

• Set up the pump on flat and firm ground.
• Attach the intake line ready for use.
• Plug into the mains.
  ●Fill the pump with water at the pressure connection.
• All shut-off devices in the pressure line (spray nozzles, valves etc.) must be fully opened when priming so that any air in the intake line can escape.
  ●Depending on the suction height and the amount of air in the intake line, priming can take anywhere between 30 seconds and 5 minutes. If it takes longer than this, the pump should be refilled with water.
• If the pump is removed again after use, it must always be refilled with water whenever it is connected up and used again.

10. Maintenance instructions

●The pump is basically maintenance free. To ensure a long service life, however, we recommend regular checks and care.
Before every servicing, switch off the pump and remove the plug from the socket.
- If the pump is not going to be used for a long time or has to be removed for the winter months, rinse it out with water, empty it completely and allow it to dry.
- If there is a risk of frost, the pump must be emptied completely.
●After long stoppages, make sure the rotor turns correctly by briefly switching the pump on and off.
- If the pump becomes blocked, connect the pressure line to the water line and remove the intake hose. Open the water line. Switch on the pump several times for approx. 2 seconds. Most blockages can be removed in this way.
