• ■Do not throw the pump during transport. Protect it from shocks, excessive vibration, moisture, dust and extreme temperatures.
• ■Protect the pump from frost. Store it in a dry, well-ventilated room at 5–40 °C, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. If stored outdoors, cover it thoroughly.
• ■Store the pump in a locked location, out of reach of children and untrained persons.

Application

The pump is designed for cleaning, flushing and descaling closed hydraulic and pipework systems, as well as hot water cylinders, boilers and heat exchangers. During servicing and regular maintenance, it can be used to clean wall-mounted boilers, underfloor heating, radiators, heat pumps, water heaters and small water-cooled condensers.

Connection

Pre-use inspection

• ■Disconnect the pump from the power supply and inspect the cable and plug. Do not use the device with a modified plug or a damaged cable.
• ■Clean the pump, particularly the carrying handle and power switch, so that they do not slip in your hands.
• ■Check that all parts are present and correctly assembled, inspect their condition and check that moving parts are not misaligned or jammed. Check the hoses, connections and ports for wear and damage, and the hoses for kinks, cuts and cracks. Make sure the hoses and connections are correctly fitted and clear of obstructions.
• ■Check other equipment in use according to its instructions. Do not start the pump until all faults have been corrected.

Preparing the system

• ■Identify the connection points, drains and other connected systems.
• ■Prepare the system according to its maintenance and operating instructions. Vented systems may require the pipes to be capped or connected in a loop. Protect expansion vessels appropriately.

Extension lead and residual current protection

If the pump cable does not reach the socket, use an extension lead in good condition with a plug that fits the socket and a protective earth conductor. For outdoor work, select an extension lead marked as suitable for those conditions.

If the socket is not protected by a residual current device (RCD), use a portable RCD between the socket and the extension lead to reduce the risk of electric shock if the cable is damaged.

Connecting the pump

1. 01Set the power switch to OFF / O (off) and make sure the plug is disconnected.
2. 02Connect the outlet hose to the pump outlet port and the return hose to one of its return ports. Connect the other ends of the hoses to the inlet and outlet of the prepared system, forming a closed circuit. Use adapters if necessary. Do not overtighten the connections.
3. 03Route the power cable where it will not be exposed to damage. With dry hands, connect the plug to an earthed socket. Keep all electrical connections dry and off the ground.

Instructions for use

Clean water test

1. 01After connecting the entire circuit, fill the tank with clean water.
2. 02Set the power switch to I. Allow air to escape from the system and the water flow to stabilise.
3. 03Check the hoses and connections for leaks. If you find a leak, set the power switch to OFF / O and disconnect the plug before repairing the leak. Repeat the test after repair.
4. 04After a successful test, switch off the pump and disconnect it from the power supply, then drain the water from the system and tank.

Descaling

1. 01Fill the tank with descaling solution prepared according to the product instructions.
2. 02With dry hands, connect the plug and set the power switch to I to start circulating the solution.
3. 03If the solution foams excessively, switch off the pump and wait for the foam to subside. If foaming persists, it may be necessary to dilute the solution with water.
4. 04Determine when descaling is complete according to the product instructions. The process is usually complete when the circulating solution no longer produces foam or loses colour.

Finishing work

Drain, flush and handle the used solution according to the product instructions and applicable regulations.

1. 01Set the power switch to OFF / O and carefully drain the solution from the system.
2. 02Disconnect the pump from the power supply. Empty the tank and disconnect the hoses from the system.
3. 03Flush the pump, tank and hoses with clean water to remove any product residue. Drain them and cap the hoses.
4. 04Perform the final flush of the system according to the product instructions and the system user manual. Depending on the level of contamination, repeat the flush, then return the system to service.

Circuit examples

Maintenance

• ■Wipe the housing with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use alcohol, petrol, solvents, corrosive substances, abrasives or strong detergents.
• ■Keep contaminants out of the pump. Check the condition of the hoses, connections and ports.
• ■After maintenance, check the condition of the pump, accessories and power cable, and perform an operational test as described in ‘Clean water test’.

Troubleshooting

Switch off the pump and disconnect it from the power supply before inspection or maintenance.

Waste electrical and electronic equipment

Under applicable regulations on waste electrical and electronic equipment, products marked with the separate collection symbol must not be disposed of with other municipal waste. Because they contain harmful substances, electronic products that are not separately sorted may pose a risk to the environment and human health. Proper separate collection of waste electrical and electronic equipment prevents adverse effects on the environment.

By taking used equipment to a collection point, the user contributes to its reuse, recycling and recovery.

Recycling - one method of protecting the environment. The process of recovering substances from waste that can be reused as raw materials.

Waste recovery - the use (also commonly understood as destruction) of waste that has lost its use value, such as plastics, paper and cardboard, as secondary raw materials.

Information on the collection system for waste electrical and electronic equipment

• ■Waste electrical and electronic equipment must not be disposed of with other waste.
• ■The collection of incomplete electrical and electronic equipment and parts from waste equipment is prohibited.
• ■A distributor delivering equipment intended for households to a buyer must collect waste household equipment free of charge at the place of delivery, provided that the waste equipment is of the same type and performs the same function as the equipment delivered.
• ■The user can hand over waste equipment to a waste equipment collector, a treatment facility or a municipal waste collector in the municipality.
• ■Information on collection points is available on the Public Information Bulletin (BIP) websites of regional, city and municipal authorities.
