Congratulations with your new

ECO multifunctional pond pump

ECO pump series is created on the latest evolutionary and technical progress and

therefore one of the best pumps on the world market.

ECO pumps energy-efficient asynchronous motor ensures an eco-conscious operation

and high capacity at low power consumption.

ECO pumps are equipped with an internal automatic thermal security device, totally

waterproof and their ceramic bearings guarantees a reliable and long lifetime.

ECO pumps are suitable for the operation of filter- and pressure filters, larger filter-

systems and the preferable choice for landscaping streams and waterfalls.

ECO pumps are also suitable for dry installation, outside the pond, when installed below

the water level.

ECO pumps ensure an unexceptionable stabile operation and bring you a lot of joy with

your water landscapes.

It is important to read this user instructions carefully for to achieve the complete effi-

ciency of the pump and for ensuring a perfect operation without any interruptions and

errors.

User Instructions

IMPORTANT about SECURITY!

The installation and operation of ECO pumps may only be carried out

by persons over 16 years, who can understand the text of this users

instructions correctly.

Check that the power supply is identically with the one indicated on the pump.

ECO pumps are provided with 10 m of grounded electrical safety cable and casted

plug. The pump has to be connected to a grounded plug with earth leakage circuit

breaker of 30 mA .

Use only good quality grounded extension leads, flexes, plugs and the like.

For ensuring optimal safety, the cable is casted into the pump housing and cannot be

exchanged. If the cable is damaged, the pump may not be used any longer.

When carrying out activities in or near the water, all devices which are immersed or

in touch with the pond water should be switched off.

The pump may not be lifted or pulled by the power supply cable. Mount an additional

wire to the pump housing to lift the pump out of the water.

The ECO pump is exclusively made for pumping water. Other floating media, burn-

able liquids or water over 40º C may not be pumped.

The ECO pump may not run dry, as this could damage or even destroy the pump.

Possible damages caused by dry run are not covered by the warranty.

The ECO pump has to be installed at least 10 cm and not more than 2 m below the

water level. See the maximum depth on the data sheet of the pump.

The ECO pump has to be placed horizontal and not in the bottom sludge. If neces-

sary you should use an elevation like f. ex. a socket of bricks.

The water temperature may not exceed 40º C, as this can damage the pump. How-

ever the automatic thermal security device will ensure, that the pump will be discon-

nected.

When the pump and its connections are installed and checked completely (there may

not be any air bubbles in the ducts), it can be connected to the power supply.

NB:

Before use: Check that the cable, the socket and the plug are dry and intact.

Caused by safety reasons, repairs at the cable and the pump motor may only be carried

out by the supplier or an authorized electrician (see the certificate of warranty).

When the pump is installed outside the pond (dry-installation), all connections and con-

nection parts have to be watertight and equipped with gaskets. Fasten all connections

and connection parts properly.

The gaskets have a limited lifetime and have to be checked regularly. If the gaskets are

porous or defect, they have to be replaced.

For avoiding overheating, when the pump is installed outside the pond, the hoses /

pipes should have following diameters:

(Use always the hose / pipe with the biggest possible diameter).

ECO 3600 - 4800 min. 25 mm on outlet and 32 mm on suction side

ECO 7200 - 11000 min. 32 mm on outlet and 32 mm on suction side

ECO 14000 - 18000 min. 40 mm on outlet and 40 mm on suction side

ECO 22000 - 25000 min. 40 mm on outlet and 50 mm on suction side

Maintenance:

The ECO pumps are equipped with a asynchronous motor. These motors have a long

lifetime at a low power consumption. The motors are entirely locked up and sealed,

which makes them in principle maintenance free. In case of overheating, the built-in

automatic thermal security device will switch off the motor and start the motor again

when it is cooled down.

Note: Pollution can be the cause for overheating and in that case it is necessary to

clean the housing (pre-filter house) and the impeller thoroughly.

Thermal security device:

To prevent overheating and consequently damage to the motor, ECO pumps have a

built-in Thermal security device. NB, when the motor is deactivated by overheating you

should check the following points before starting the pump again. Always switch off the

power supply by pulling the plug out of the socket.

Is the pump sufficiently immersed into the water?

Is the housing (pre-filter housing) polluted, so that the water supply to the pump

blocks?

Is the impeller polluted or blocked by f. ex. a twig, small animals or others?

Are the hoses, the hose swivels or the connection pieces polluted?

Is the pump cooled down sufficiently before restarting?

When all above mentioned points are controlled and in order, the pump can be re-

Models and accessories: ECO pumps are available in 8 versions:

All ECO pumps have a Super Vortex impeller. This special impeller ensures a large wa-

ter capacity and an easy transport of dirt particles up to Ø 8 mm.

The pump is mounted in a special constructed housing (pre-filter house), so that the

coarse dirt particles cannot penetrate into the impeller.

The accessories supplied along, permit to use the ECO pumps both in the pond (wet

installation) and outside the pond (dry installation) .

Ball-joint & hoses:

The enclosed ball-joint may not be swivelled more than 15º, otherwise the capacity of

the pump will be reduced considerably!

If necessary, use the alternative outlet on the pump, vertical or horizontal and get the

full value for your power money!

Always use the biggest possible hose / pipe diameter, as this will ensure a low friction

and a smooth waterflow!

Always remember to cut the hose swivel to the biggest possible hose diameter!

Not only to avoid interruptions, but also to ensure a large water capacity, it is important

to clean the impeller regularly. Proceed as follows (see Illustration A):

Switch off the power supply and remove the pump from the pond.

Remove the pump from the housing (pre-filter house) (see illustration B).

Loosen the 4 screws (6).

Remove the impeller housing (9) from the motor housing (1).

Remove the impeller (7) carefully from the motor housing (9).

Clean the impeller under running water with a soft brush.

Clean the impeller housing under running water with a soft brush.

Clean the pump housing carefully under running water with a soft brush.

Assemble all parts in reverse order. Ensure that the impeller is running smoothly in

the motor housing and that the gasket is mounted correctly before you fasten the 4

screws again.

Put the pump back to the pump housing and ensure that all parts and the power

cable are mounted correct. Now the 5 clips can be closed easily.

Use in the pond:

ECO pumps are supplied complete ready for the operation in the pond (wet installation).

Mount the swivel head (15) and the middle piece (16) plus the hose adapter (17) on the

outlet adapter of the pump. NB: The gaskets have to be placed correctly between all

joints.

The pump can also be turned around in the housing, so the hose adapter comes out at

the side of the pump housing. If you choose this solution, the housing part (5) has to be

demounted and the supplied housing part with a hole (5) has to be mounted, hereafter

the extension socket (14) has to be mounted directly on the pump and than turned to a

horizontal position: now you can mount the ball-joint (15), middle piece (16), the univer-

sal hose adapter (17) and the plug for the outlet (1) on the top-housing.

Use outside the pond:

ECO pumps can also be installed outside the pond, f. ex. to a pressure filter or a larger

filter systems. As the pumps are not self sucking, they always have to be installed 20 cm

under the water level.

Before use, the hoses have to be filled with water. Fasten the socket with thread (18),

the universal hose adapter (19) and the gaskets on the inlet and the outlet of the pump.

Ensure, that everything is watertight, so that the system cannot suck air.

For utilizing the water capacity optimal, you always have to use a hose / pipe with the

largest possible diameter. Saw the unused diameter of the hose adapter of.

For dry installation you may not use the ball-joint, as this is not 100% watertight.

Use in winter:

When the temperature is not falling to under -5º C, the ECO pump can also operate in

winter. In severe winters, where the temperature falls below -5º C, the pump has to be

taken out from the pond. Clean the pump and the pump housing (pre-filter housing)

properly. Check, if the pump or the cable are de-

fect. To prevent the gaskets from drying out, we

recommend to store the pump wet, f. ex. in a

bucket of water. The pump has to be started at

least once a month for 10 minutes for preventing

corrosion.

Important !

The pump may not run dry, as the motor could

be damaged and the bearings and the ceramic

shaft could break down.

Never use the pump in the pond without hous-

ing (pre-filter housing). Make sure that the

hose is not bended, so that the water flow is

blocked.

When the pump is in use, you have to main-

tain (clean) it regularly, depending on the pol-

lution level of the water.

We recommend to rinse the housing (pre-filter

housing) and clean the impeller ca. once a month

(or even before, if the water flow reduces percep-

tible). Use a soft brush and clean water.

See illustration A and B for demounting and

mounting of housing, pump, impeller etc.

Optimal use of water flow:

For getting the optimal flow out of your

ECO pump, you have to use either the ver-

tical or the horizontal connection and the

ball-joint swivels maximum 15º.

NB: If the ball-joint swivels like shown on

these photos you will experience a flow

loss of up to 30 % and that can be avoided

easily by choosing the right pump outlet.

Always remember to choose the biggest

possible hose diameter, as a to little hose

can reduce the possibility to yield the opti-

mal flow and the result could be a consid-

erable loss of capacity.

Important!

The pump may not run dry, as the mo-

tor could be damaged as a result and

the bearings and the ceramic shaft

could break down.

Never use the pump in the pond with-

out housing (pre-filter housing). Ensure

that the hose is not bended, so that the

water flow does not block.

When the pump is in use, you have to

maintain (clean) it regularly, depending

on the pollution level of the water, for

ensuring the optimal operation.

Regulator Extern suction

Optimal use of suction:

The extern suction of the Eco pumps can easily be adjusted from 0 - 100% by the regu-

lator bottom, i.e. at a setting of 0% the pump draws only from the housing and at a

setting of f. ex. 50%, the pump draws ca. 50% from the housing and ca. 50% from the

extern suction.

The extern suction can with big advantage be connected to a surface skimmer or a fil-

ter, which can be placed in the pond, so that the necessary service and cleaning of the

pre-filter housing is easy to proceed.

If you connect a surface skimmer, it is important that the skimmer does not pass dirt

particles bigger that 8 mm, otherwise the impeller can block and that could damage the

pump.

Also a surface skimmer with pre-filter can be connected, but that requires the installa-

tion of an adjustable Y-distributor in the pond, so that it is possible to adjust between

the suction from the skimmer and the suction from the pre-filter or low water filter.

The ECO pump supplies

with the shown acces-

sories:

Housing with side outlet 5 x O-rings Extension socket 2 x Universal adapter

Cover Ball-joint 2 x Threaded socket

The pump can transport dirt particles

up to 8 mm size through the impeller

system without effecting the water flow

and the capacity.

The pump is waterproof and can be

installed up to 2 meter under the water

surface. All electrical components are

sealed 100% in an epoxy mass.

The pump is equipped with an auto-

matic thermal security device, which

disconnects the pump at overheating

and / or blocking. That ensures a long

lifetime of the pumps.

Aqua Tech products are manufactured

according to the European regulations

for product liability. The products meet

all existing requirements for pumps for

hobby use.

The pump can easily save up to 40% of

the power consumption, which usually

is needed for the transportation of the

indicated quantity of water compared to

other pond pumps.

The pump can be recycled and is included

to the return procedure of the producer

and may not be disposed in the normal

refuse, but has to be delivered to a dealer

or a recycling-station.

Power consumption at maximum load.

The pump will use even less power when

they are applied according to the opera-

tion instructions.

The pump is tested and approved by TÜV,

which is the German electricity and safety

control institution. The pump is certified

as a save product.

The pumps can stay in the garden pond in

winter, when they are placed at a mini-

mum depth of 80 cm and when they get

operated at least once a month for about

10 minutes.

Aqua Tech offers an extension warranty

period of 3 years on this product - in

total 5 years. However you have to com-

ply with the described warranty rules and

submit the certificate of warranty.

ECO multifunctional pump with big external suction and large pump

housing, which is simple to dismount, so that it easy to clean and

maintain the pump. The universal hose adapter dismounts and the 5

clips opens, so you have direct access to the pump.

ECO is suitable for dry installation. With help of 2 big threaded con-

nections the pump can easily be installed outside the pond. How-

ever the pump has to be installed under the water level and both

threads have to be sealed with the packing-tape for ensuring a tight

connection!

ECO's high generated Vortex impeller ensures optimal efficiency and

an extra low power consumption. The impeller is made in stainless

steel, bras and plastic and equipped with an extra durable ceramic

shaft and bearings.

ECO´s external suction can be connected to a skimmer, a satellite

pre-filter, or a pre-filter and is easy to adjust , so that the indicated

% distribution sucks from both the pump housing and from the big

external suction.

ECO´s high developed asynchronous motor ensures optimal per-

formance through a carefully balanced electro field and the power

transmits to the impeller, which is corrosion proofed. The ceramic

shaft and bearings are used as friction bearings.

ECO’s electromotor and the electrical parts are sealed 100% in the

pump housing with epoxy resin, which ensures that leaks can be

avoided. This guarantees ultimate safety, as no electrical parts can

get in contact with water.

ECO’s internal thermal security device secures the pump against

overheating and ensures a long and reliable lifetime.

NB: When the pump starts and turns off again by itself it has to be

cleaned. Follow the directions in this user instructions!

ECO pumps head

Optimal use of the pumps:

Eco pumps head is indicated on above diagram. Follow f. ex. the graph for Eco 14000

(orange): at a head of 1 m, the pump yields about 12000 litre pr. hour.

If you follow the same pump to a head of 2,5 m, the diagram shows that the flow is

now only 8000 litre pr. hour, meaning that the performance reduces gradually accord-

ing to the lifting height.

Use always the biggest possible hose or pipe diameter, as this will ensure a low friction

and avoid sharp angles or bends, so that you will get the optimal pump performance.

If you connect a surface skimmer, the flow will bed reduced a little, as the pump now

also has to suck and it is important to use the biggest possible hose diameter to reduce

friction.

Also a surface skimmer with pre-filter can be connected, but that requires the installa-

tion of an adjustable Y-distributor in the pond, so that you can adjust between the suc-

tion from the skimmer and the suction from the pre-filter or low water filter.

ECO pond pumps are created with precision, new thinking

and according to the latest know how in the pump-technology!

Developed with the purpose to create the optimal pump

to a price everyone can effort

ECO pumps are environment friendly and safe our resources!
