Frequently Asked Questions - FTS 1100 B2 FLORABEST

What type of water can the FTS 1100 B2 pump?

It is designed for dirty water with a maximum particle size of 35 mm (or 19 mm with the reducer). It can also pump clean water, but not aggressive, abrasive, corrosive, combustible, or explosive liquids, brine, cleaning agents, or foodstuffs.

How do I prime the pump before use?

The pump features an automatic air bleed mechanism. Simply submerge the pump in water; any air will automatically escape through the bleed mechanism. Ensure the pump is fully submerged during operation to avoid water spraying from the bleed.

What happens if the pump runs dry?

Running dry can damage the pump. The float switch is designed to turn off the pump when the water level drops, but always check that the float switch is adjusted properly and not obstructed. If the pump runs dry, damage may occur.

How do I adjust the float switch?

The float switch position can be adjusted by moving it in the pivot clip. A longer cable length from the clip to the float raises the on/off switching points. Ensure the float does not touch the bottom before switching off to avoid dry running.

How do I clean the impeller if it is blocked?

First unplug the pump. You can clean the impeller either through the pump outlet after removing the angle adapter, or by unscrewing the base plate (remove 3 screws) to access the impeller directly. Rinse with clean water and reassemble.

Can I use this pump for continuous operation?

No. The pump is not designed for continuous operation, such as circulating water in garden ponds. Continuous use may reduce its service life.

What electrical safety precautions are required?

The pump must be connected via a residual current device (RCD) with a maximum trip current of 30 mA. Ensure the mains plug is positioned where it cannot be reached by water. Never use the pump if people are in the water.

How should I store the pump in winter?

Protect the pump from frost. Store it in a frost-free place after cleaning. If the pump has been used, clean it thoroughly and allow it to dry before storage.

What is the maximum submersion depth and water temperature?

The maximum submersion depth is 8 meters. The maximum water temperature is 35 °C. Exceeding these limits may damage the pump.

What is covered under warranty and how do I claim?

The warranty is 3 years from purchase and covers material and manufacturing defects. It does not cover transport damage, wearing parts, or damage from improper use. To claim, contact the service centre by phone (UK: 0871 5000 720, Ireland: 1890 930 034) with proof of purchase.

Safety advice relating specifically to submersible pumps

RISK TO LIFE FROM ELECTRIC

SHOCK! Do not use the device if there are people in the water. Ensure that the electrical plug-in connector is positioned where it cannot be reached by the water. Otherwise there is a risk of loss of life through electric shock.

Do not use the mains lead or the hose for any purpose for which it was not intended, e.g. to carry the product, to hang it up or to pull the mains plug out of the mains socket. Keep the mains lead away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts of the device. Damaged or tangled mains leads increase the risk of electric shock.

Please note that health and employment authorities, water supply and other similar bodies in many countries may impose additional requirements.
■ Connect the device through a residual current device (RCD) with a maximum trip current of 30 mA.
- When not in use always ensure that electrical devices are kept out of reach of children. Do not let anyone use the device if he or she is not familiar with it or has not read the instructions and advice. Electrical power tools are dangerous when they are used by inexperienced people.

Further safety advice relating to submersible pumps (EN 60335-2-41)

  Do not pump aggressive, abrasive (capable of removing coatings), corrosive, combustible or explosive liquids, brine, cleaning agents or foodstuffs. Otherwise a risk to health, material damage or damage to the device could occur.
  When pumping, ensure that the water temperature is less than 35 °C . Otherwise damage to the device could occur.

• When working with the device, please take note of the maximum operating depth of 8 m. Otherwise damage to the device could occur.
  Please note that the device uses lubricant. If it leaks then damage or contamination could occur. Therefore do not use the device in garden ponds containing fish or valuable plants.
  In the interest of safety, do not allow children, young persons under the age of 16 or any person who is not familiar with these operating instructions to use this device.
  Pay attention to the device while it is operating so that you are aware in good time of the pump switching off automatically or running dry. Check regularly that the float switch is working properly (see the section on "Preparing for use").
  ■ Always check the device for damage before use.
  Do not operate the pump continuously, e.g. for circulating water in garden ponds. It is not designed for continuous operation. Otherwise a reduction in the service life of the device could occur.

• Protect the device from frost. Store the submersible dirty water pump in a frost-free place.
  ■ Never leave the device unattended. Otherwise damage to the device could occur.
  Use original accessories only. Do not carry out any repairs to the device. This way you will ensure that the device remains safe to use.
  The device must be opened only by an electrician or similar expert. In the event of a repair being necessary, please contact our Service Centre.

● Preparing for use

Note: You can install this submersible pump in a fixed position, i.e. it can be permanently fastened in place (e.g. for regularly circulating or pumping out water in pools or containers). If you wish to install your submersible pump in a fixed position, you may have to seek the further advice of a suitable specialist.

● Standing up or suspending the device

Note: The pump chamber should have minimum dimensions of 40 × 40 × 50 cm (W x D x H) to allow the float switch 8 to move freely.

☐ Suspend the device from the handle 1 or stand it on the bottom or supporting surface. Otherwise damage to the device could occur.

Note: You can suspend the pump safely using the supplied rope 12. Loop the rope 12 around the handle 1 and fasten it with a double knot.

WARNING! ATTENTION! Never suspend the device from the hose. Otherwise damage to the device could occur.

WARNING! ATTENTION! Check the state of the device occasionally while it is working. Dirt and sand may build up over time on the bottom or supporting surface, which could damage the pump. If the water level in the chamber is too low, any sludge present could quickly dry out and prevent the pump from starting.

Note: The submersible pump has an automatic air bleed mechanism 2. This mechanism allows any air to escape from the device as soon as the device is submerged in water. If the submersible pump is not completely submerged in water during operation, then water may escape from the air bleed mechanism 2. This does not indicate that the device is defective.

ATTENTION! Do not screw off the air bleed mechanism 2, otherwise damage to the device may occur.

- Connecting the discharge hose or pipe

Note: The water can be pumped out through a fixed pipe or a flexible hose.

The hose may block if the particle size is greater than 35 mm, or 19 mm with the reducer fitted, (see the section on "Maintenance and cleaning").

☐ Screw the angle adapter 11 on to the pump outlet 4 (see Fig. B).

☐ Pull a hose over the reducer 10 and fix it in place with a hose clamp. Or you can use a

threaded connector on the angle adapter 11 or the reducer 10.

- Attaching the float switch

Note: The float switch 8 is set up to allow the pump to be used immediately. In the case of a permanent installation, the float switch 8 must be checked regularly (at least every three months) to see that it is working properly.

The on and off switching point of the float switch 8 can be set by altering the position of the float switch 8 in the float switch pivot clip 9 (see Fig. A).

The following principles apply here: The longer the length of the cable of the float switch 8 from the float switch pivot clip 9 to the float, the higher the on and off switching point will be.

☐ Position the float switch 8 so that the "ON" and "OFF" switch point level is achieved easily and with little force.

☐ Check that it is working properly i.e. stand the pump in water in a vessel, then carefully raise the float switch 8 by hand and then let it fall again. Check that the pump switches on and off.

☐ To bring the submersible pump into use, plug the mains plug into a suitable mains socket. Depending on the set switch point level and the water level, the float switch 8 switches automatically on or off as appropriate.

Note: Ensure that the distance between the float switch head and the float switch pivot clip 9 is not too short. If the distance is too short, the switch may not work properly.

ATTENTION! When making the setting ensure that float switch 8 does not come into contact with the bottom or supporting surface before the pump switches off. Otherwise there is the risk that the pump may run dry and become damaged.

● Maintenance and cleaning

WARNING! RISK OF LOSS OF LIFE AND

INJURY! Before you carry out any work on the device, always pull the mains plug out of the mains socket.

☐ If the pump is not permanently installed, clean it with clean water after every use.
☐ Check regularly that the float switch 8 is working properly on permanently installed devices (at least once every three months).
☐ Use a jet of water to remove any fluff and fibrous particles that may have attached themselves to the pump housing.
☐ Remove any deposits from the float switch 8 with clean water.
☐ Remove sludge from the bottom of the chamber (at least every three months) and clean the walls.
☐ Thoroughly clean the pump if it has not been used for an extended period. The pump may be difficult to start if deposits and residues are allowed to form.
☐ Use a cloth to clean the outside of the housing - never use petrol, solvents or cleaners. Otherwise damage to the device could occur.

- Cleaning the impeller

Note: If the impeller 13 becomes dirty or blocked, you can clean it using the pump outlet 4 or by screwing off the base plate 5 (see Fig. C).

☐ To do this, screw off the angle adapter 11 from the pump outlet 4.
☐ Remove the 3 screws from the underside of the pump housing 3 and take off the base plate 5.
□ Clean the impeller 13 with clean water.
☐ To reassemble the device, proceed in reverse order.

Note: Any other tasks on the pump, in particular opening the pump, must be carried out by an electrician or similar expert. In the event of a repair being necessary, please contact our Service Centre.
