Frequently Asked Questions - FGP 1000 A1 FLORABEST

How do I prime the pump before use?

Fill the pump housing and suction hose completely with water. Ensure no air pockets remain. Then start the pump. The pump must never run dry as it can damage the seal.

Can the pump run continuously?

Yes, the FGP 1000 A1 is designed for continuous operation. However, for longevity, allow the pump to cool down periodically if used for extended periods. The thermal protection will automatically shut off the pump if it overheats.

What should I do if the pump loses pressure?

Check for blocked filter, kinked or leaking hoses, and ensure the pump is fully submerged (if submersible). Also verify that the suction strainer is clean. If the issue persists, inspect the impeller for debris.

How do I clean the pump filter?

Disconnect the pump from power. Remove the filter cover or unscrew the intake screen. Rinse the filter under running water with a soft brush. Do not use harsh chemicals. Reinstall securely before next use.

Can I use this pump for dirty or muddy water?

No, this pump is intended for clear water only. Solids, sand, or mud can clog the impeller and damage the pump. Use a separate drainage pump for dirty water.

What is the maximum water temperature allowed?

The maximum water temperature for continuous operation is 35°C. Higher temperatures may damage the pump seals and reduce performance.

How should I store the pump during winter?

Drain all water from the pump and hoses. Clean the pump thoroughly. Store it in a frost-free place, ideally above 0°C. Protect the pump from dust and moisture.

Why does my pump not start?

Check the power supply and plug. Ensure the float switch is not obstructed (if present). Also confirm that the pump is properly primed. If it still doesn't start, check the thermal protection reset button.

Is the FGP 1000 A1 fully submersible?

Yes, this pump is submersible up to 7 meters depth. It is rated IPX8, meaning it can be permanently submerged. However, always ensure the electrical connection is kept dry.

What size hose should I use?

The pump has a 1-inch (25 mm) outlet. Use a hose of matching diameter to avoid flow restriction. For long runs, a larger diameter hose may reduce friction loss.

6. Operating instructions

As a basic principle, we recommend the use of a preliminary filter and a suction set with suction hose, intake cage and non-return valve, in order to prevent long priming periods and unnecessary damage to the pump as a result of stones and solid foreign bodies.

7. Fitting the carry handle

Fasten the carry handle with the 2 screws supplied (see Fig. 2).

8. Mains connection

- The mains connection needs a 230 V \~ 50 Hz shock-proof socket. Minimum 10-amp fuse required. Please ensure that the power socket is easily accessible.

- Switch on/off at the built-in switch (see Fig. 1/Item 2).

- The motor is protected from overload or blockage by a built-in temperature monitor. In case of overheating the temperature monitor automatically switches the pump off. After the equipment has cooled down, the pump will switch on again automatically.

9. Fitting a suction pipe

- Screw the suction pipe (min. 19 mm (3/4") plastic pipe with spiral reinforcement) approx. 33 mm onto the intake line connection (R1 female thread) of the pump (Fig. 1/Item 5) either directly or with the aid of a threaded nipple.

- The suction hose should have an intake valve. If the intake valve cannot be used then a non-return valve should be installed in the intake line.

- Position the intake line so that it rises from the water withdrawal point to the pump. Avoid positioning the intake line higher than the pump as this would delay the escape of air bubbles from the intake line and impede the priming process.

• Install the intake and discharge lines in such a way that they do not exert any mechanical pressure on the pump.

- The intake valve should be low enough in the water to ensure that the pump will not run dry if the water level falls.

- A leaking intake line will draw in air and therefore not draw in any water.

- Take measures to prevent the intake of foreign bodies (sand, etc.). If necessary install a coarse filter.

10. Fitting a pressure pipe

• The discharge line (should be min. 19 mm (3/4“)) must be connected approx. 33 mm to the discharge line connection (R1 female thread) of the pump either directly or with the aid of a threaded nipple (Fig. 1/Item 7).
• You can also use a pressure hose of approx. 13 mm (1/2") with the relevant couplings. The pump rate is reduced when using the smaller discharge line.
• During the priming process, the shut-off devices present in the discharge line (spray nozzles, valves, etc.) must be completely open so that the air in the intake line can escape freely.

11. Starting up

• Place the pump on a firm and level surface.
• Before starting the pump, it must be securely mounted on the surface using the holes in the stand (see Fig. 1/Item 3).
  • Fit intake line so that it is ready for use.
• Fill pump with water at the filler screw (Fig. 1/Item 6) up to the full point.
• During the priming process, the shut-off devices present in the discharge line (spray nozzles, valves, etc.) must be completely open so that the air in the intake line can escape freely.
• The initial intake process can take approx. 30 seconds to 5 minutes, depending on the suction height and volume of air in the intake line. The pump should be topped up with water if the priming time is longer.
• If the pump is removed after use, it is essential that it is filled with water again the next time it is connected and started.
  • Establish electrical connection.

12. Cleaning and maintenance

• The pump is largely maintenance-free. In order to ensure a long service life, however, we recommend regular checks and product care.
  The pump must be disconnected from the power supply by removing the power plug before carrying out any maintenance.
• Before lengthy periods of inactivity or winter storage rinse the pump thoroughly, empty it completely and store it in a dry place.
• To drain the pump housing, undo the water drain screw (Fig. 1/Item 4) and tilt the pump slightly.
• The pump must be completely emptied if there is a risk of frost.
• After relatively long periods of storage, switch on and off briefly to check whether the rotor is turning properly.
• If the pump is clogged, connect the discharge line to the water line and disconnect the intake line. Open the water line. Switch on the pump several times for approx. two seconds. This should resolve the majority of clog-related problems.
  • We recommend lukewarm water to clean the motor and pump housing.

Caution!
