In general, when put out of service, the pump must
be cleaned extremely thoroughly. The pump must be
stored in a dry, warm place to prevent condensation/
moisture getting into the electronics which could cause
damage when used again.
Before it is put into operation, the ease-of-movement of
the impeller must be manually checked. If the impeller
cannot be moved round by hand, the pump must be
disassembled and cleaned completely. The plug may
not be disconnected from the pump whilst the device
is in use. This can result in serious damage to the
electronic components and cause dangerous situations
due to grounding problems.
installations on garden ponds must always comply with
national and international directives and requirements.
Never open the case of the device or of the appending
parts if this is not explicitly suggested in the user
device. Only use original spare parts and accessories.
Only allow authorised customer service facilities to
conduct repairs. Never use the pump with any other
liquids than water.
If you have any questions or problems, consult an
electrician, your dealer or Air-Aqua BV.
5. Fields of application
The FlowFriend pump is suitable for freshwater,
brackish water and for pumping other non-aggressive,
non-explosive liquids that do not contain oil. It can
pump clean as well as – to a certain extent – polluted
water. The pump is not suitable for water with larger
particles. The pollutants may not exceed 10 mm in size.
In general the pump should be used for applications
as water not containing solid particles, which could
damage the impellor/bearings and/carbon ring/pump
housing. Examples of particles or pollutants which are
not suitable are sand, lime precipitation or pyrolusite
after a manganese peroxide treatment in a pond.
Damage caused by such pollutants in the water does
not fall under warranty or service.
systems (aquariums, ponds or swimming pools),
industrial circulating systems and/or to supply a beck/
creek or waterfall. The pump is not self-priming and
may not therefore be used above the water surface.
Temperature of the liquid: +2 to +40 °C.
Environment temperature: 0 °C to +50 °C
Max. static pressure: 0.5 bar
Protection class: IP55

WARNING! HOT SURFACES! RISK
OF INJURY! RISK OF FIRE!
Heated surfaces can cause serious
physical injury to personnel or ignite
material in the near vicinity.
CAUTION!
Before connecting the device, make
sure there is no damage. Check the
power cable mains plug carefully
before connecting.
After plugging in the power cable for
for input of the desired speed. Please
note, the motor will set and store the
start up speed automatically after
4 seconds of manually setting the
speed. After connecting to the power
mains, the motor performs a self-test
for about 3 seconds.
4. Use of the pump
Only use the device when no body parts are in contact
with the water! Before you reach into the water, always
disconnect the pump from the power supply. Compare
sure that the device is connected to an ELCB (earth
leakage circuit breaker) with an assigned leakage rating
of max. 30 mA (DIN VDE 0100T739). Only operate the
device on a correctly installed power plug.
Keep the power plug and the wiring dry! Install the
wiring protected in order to avoid damage.
THE WIRING OR THE POWER PLUG MUST NOT BE
CUT. DOING SO WILL IMMEDIATELY INVALIDATE
ALL WARRANTY AND LIABILITY OF THE
MANUFACTURER.
Only use wiring, installations, adapters, extension
cables and connection cables with grounding-type
plugs, which are approved for outdoor usage (DIN VDE
the wiring of the device or use the wiring to carry the
device! If the wiring is damaged or broken, the device
may no longer be used! Take care that the power plug
never falls into water or gets wet. If the plug gets
wet, it must be opened by a professional and cleaned
by purging with demineralised water. Protect the
plug and the wiring from heat, oil, UV light and sharp
corners. The manufacturer is not liable in any way for
any damage caused by improper installation or by the
carelessness of the user or installer.
