DANGER!
Inadequate qualification of personnel
Dangers due to inadequate qualification of
personnel!
Possible consequence: Death or severe injury,
significant damage to material assets.
The system owner must ensure compliance
with the required qualifications.
All activities must only be carried out by
personnel who are qualified to perform such
activities.
Access to the system must be prevented for
inadequately qualified personnel..
IMPORTANT NOTE!
Compliance with the applicable accident
prevention regulations and the other statutory
regulations and the generally acknowledged
safety regulations must be ensured by the system

manufacturers results in loss of all damage
compensation claims!
DANGER!
Compliance with the protection rating
After tasks on the Flockmatic, if the housing or
individual cable glands are not properly closed, so
that a reliable seal is ensured, moisture can
penetrate into the device.
Possible consequences: Damage or
destruction of the Flockmatic, malfunctions.
After all tasks performed on the device,
ensure a safe seal.
2. General
The Flockmatic is a high quality peristaltic pump for dosing of
flocculant (Quickflock Automatic Plus) in to the circulation
system of a swimming pool.
The pool must be equipped with a properly sized sand/glass
filter.
Technical data:
The Flockmatic is a high quality stepper motor that requires no
gears.
With the supplied hose, the capacity is - 0.01 l / (10ml / h).
Max. pressure: 1.5 bar
Flow rate: 0,01 l/h (10ml/h)
Protection class housing: IP65
Dimension
(without wall mounting panel,mm): approx. 93x150x130
(BxHxT)
Electric power supply: 230 V / 50 Hz
3. Electrical connection
The Flockmatic pump must be connected in a way that it only
works when the circulation pump is running.
The Flockmatic must be isolated when carrying out a backwash
of the sand/glass filter. The Flockmatic must be installed in
such a way to ensure that it is switched off during Backwashing
of the filter.
The Flockmatic can easily be connected to the PoolManager®.
Please refer to the operating instructions of the PoolManager®.
4. Installation in the circulation
system
The Flockmatic is supplied ready for installation on a panel for
wall mounting. The pump is preferably mounted at a height of
about 1.5 m on the wall. The container with
Quickflock Automatic Plus is placed directly under the
Flockmatic pump in order to keep the Suction tube as short as
possible. Read the safety instructions on the label of the
container of Quickflock Automatic Plus. Do not dispense any
liquids other than liquid flocculant with this pump!

Mounting / Commissioning:
Install the injection valve using a saddle clamp if necessary in
the pipe section between the circulation pump and the filter
inlet. (See diagram).
Caution:
Place the point of injection as far as possible away from the
sand filter (as close as possible to the circulation pump outlet)
in order to allow the flocculating agent to build up the flakes.
If a measurement, control and metering system is installed
make sure to inject the liquid flocculant after the sample water
extraction point.
Connect the pressure side of the pump (right hand) with the
injection valve by using the provided hose 6 x 4 mm. Connect
the hose to the supplied suction lance on the suction side of the
Flockmatic (left hand).
Make sure all hose connections are fitting tightly!

pressure is higher than 0.8 bar)
PLEASE NOTE: Sample water extraction must be before
injection of liquid flocking agent!
5. Maintenance
Some parts of the Flockmatic are subject to wear due to
chemical and mechanical stress. Thus regular inspection is
required for safe, long-term operation. Regular preventive
maintenance of the system protects against unscheduled
interruptions of operation.
5.1 14-day maintentance
Visual inspection of all dosing lines and the dosing hose
for leaks, replace if necessary
5.2 Yearly maintenance
inspection of all dosing lines, replace if necessary
Replacement of the hose of the dosing pump
5.3 Cleaning
Clean the surfaces of the device with a soft lint-free cloth as
needed. To do this only use a little water, if necessary
IMPORTANT NOTE
Do not use aggressive cleaners
5.4 Hose replacement
NOTE
Never grease the hose!
NOTE
Only use original spare pump hoses!
DANGER!
Danger due to chemicals
When pulling off the pump hose, corrosive
product residues can escape.
Possible consequence: Serious health
impairment (acid burns) and damage to
material assets
Always empty the pump hose and supply
lines first.
If necessary wear protective goggles and
protective gloves and protect the
surroundings against escaping product
residues with a cloth.
DANGER!
Danger due to rotating parts
The rotor of the dosing pump can start-up
abruptly.
Possible consequence: Danger of crushing
for fingers!
Ensure that the dosing pump remains
disconnected from the operating voltage while
replacing the hose (unplug the mains plug)!
The hose of the dosing pump is replaced without dismounting
the rotor.
Remove the emptied suction and pressure hoses from the
hose holder. To do this open the blue clamping screws.
Take the transparent cover 1 off of the pump.
Take off the blue cover 2 of the rotor.
Turn rotor 3 in such a manner that the flat side points to
the left and is vertical.
Pull the hose holder 4 out of its holder and lift it on the left
side.

6
Now turn the rotor 3 clockwise and follow with the hose
lifted until it is completely free.
Proceed in the reverse sequence for mounting.
The hose only, or the hose together with the hose holder can
be replaced.
We recommend replacing the hose together with the hose
holder. (Replacement hose set)

NOTE
If only the hose is replaced, you must strictly
ensure the following when mounting the hose
Firm seat of the hose on the nozzles.
The hose must not be fitted on twisted under
any circumstances.
You must ensure that the hose connectors
are firmly seated..
5.5 Winterising
For brief interruption of use (e.g. several days) no special
measures are required.
For longer interruptions of operation that extend over several
weeks, as in the case of winter care the following tasks must be
executed:
Remove the suction lance from the canister and rinse it with
water.
Seal the delivery container, store it in a cool and dry
location and protect against UV radiation.
Rinse the hose pump with water.
Take the dosing hose out of the pump.
Flush all hoses with water and empty them completely.
After the winter season, all components must be examined to
determine that they are functional. All dismounted parts must
be remounted at their intended position. Check the settings of
the Flockmatic.
5.6 Decommissioning
If the device will be disposed of after its service life, it must be
flushed out and the water drained. The device has been
manufactured in accordance with the provisions of the ROHS
Directive and the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Directive. It does not belong in domestic waste.
Take the device to a suitable and appropriate collection point.
