6. Commissioning / Installation

You can find explanatory figures at the start of the usage instructions. The numbers in brackets in the following text relate
to Fig. IV.

Important! The pump must not run dry, i.e. without water. Otherwise the possibility if damage cannot be ruled
out!

•

The unit can be placed submerged or dry.

•

Always place the unit below water level.

•

Place the unit horizontally on the ground ensuring its stable position.

•

You can switch on the pump by plugging the mains plug into the socket or switch it off by pulling the mains plug
back out.

•

The water temperature must not exceed 35°C.

•

The pump must be protected from freezing.

•

Always ensure that the seals we supply are properly in place and the relevant parts are cleanly screwed together.
Never use force or an unsuitable tool to try to connect the parts.

•

Adjust the hose connection ports to the size of the hose that is used; to do this, use a standard household saw to
cut off the smaller hose diameter that is not required on the connection ports.

Operate the device as a filter or stream pump in water

(Figure I)

•

Install the hose connection ports (12,13) on the pump outlet.. (Fig. I/1)

•

Connect the pump outlet to the pond filter or the stream (Fig. I/2)

•

In the BPF 8000 E, the flow rate can be adjusted according to requirements using the integrated flow rate regulator.

•

Completely immerse the pump in your pond. Water will penetrate into the pump body.

•

A water level of at least 25 cm is required for operation, so that the pump does not take in air.

•

Only operate the pump at a maximum immersion depth (

) of 2 m!

•

In order to avoid unnecessary soiling, position the pump in your pond above the sludge deposits, and attach solidly
and levelly (stone slab)!

Setting up the pump dry

(Figure II)

•

Set up the device so that it is not subjected to direct sunlight (maximum 40 °C).

•

Open the clips (4) and remove the top shell (1). (Fig. II/1)

•

Remove the screws that fasten the holders (9,10). Remove the holders (9,10) from the bottom shell (2). (Fig. II/2)

•

Remove the pump from the bottom shell (2). (Fig. II/3)

•

Install the hose connection ports (12,13,16,17) on the pump inlet and outlet. (Fig. II/5)

•

Re-insert the pump in the bottom shell (2). (Fig. II/6)

•

Re-assemble the device by following the steps in reverse order.

•

Connect the suction and pressure lines. (Fig. II/7)

7. Maintenance and care

To significantly extend the service life of your pump, and to ensure trouble-free function, we recommend regular
maintenance and cleaning. With a few hand movements every user can easily execute all maintenance tasks. For this,
the pump must be dismounted, as described in chapter 8. All parts can be cleaned with a non-metallic brush and a
neutral cleaner. Ensure that the cleaning agent does not get into the pond water. Carefully rinse off all cleaned parts with
clean tap water, before putting the pump back together and placing it in service. If the pump is heavily calcified, you can
place the run unit and the motor block in a descaling solution for stainless steel parts. In this regard comply with the use
instructions provided with the descaling agent.

7.1.

Maintenance intervals

The time intervals for the required maintenance task (complete cleaning) to a great extent are based on
the level of pond water contamination. Select the time intervals for cleaning accordingly.
If, when performing maintenance tasks, you determine that there are defects or wear, replace the parts in question
(see ordering spare parts).

7.2.

Winter - maintenance

•

Protect your pump from freezing!

•

If there is danger of freezing, take the pump out of your garden pond.

•

Completely clean the pump as specified in the instructions.

•

Store the pump over winter in a frost-free location.
