WARNING
GB TRANSLATION FROM ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS

Chap. 2 Limitations
FLOTEC ComPac electropumps are designed for private use in residential environments and are therefore suited to
drain rain water, infiltrated water, to pump water out of flooded areas, and to transfer clean or moderately dirty fluids.
The pump can be completely or partially submersed.
The pump cannot be used for sea water and inflammable, corrosive, explosive or dangerous liquids.
Verify that the pump never runs without liquids.
The pump can be used with clean and non aggressive fluids or with fluids containing suspended
particles with a maximum diameter of 5 mm.
Sand or other abrasive substances in the pumped fluid will cause the pump to deteriorate and will
affect its performances.
(*) These data refer to Fig. 1, Pag. 91. Measurements are expressed in millimetres.
The maximum flow rates given are reached if the pump is used without the check valve supplied.

GB 2
GB
For safety reasons, the pump must always be connected to a safety circuit breaker (FI) with a rated leakage current of
≤ 30 mA, in accordance with standards DIN VDE 0100-702 and 0100-738. Contact a specialised electrician.
Regulation OVE B/EN 60555 Part 1-3 establishes that pumps for swimming pools and ponds with fixed connections
installed in Austria must be powered with an insulated OVE transformer at a secondary rated voltage below 230V.
In Switzerland, all electrically-powered equipment for outdoor use must be connected to an automatic safety switch.
Make sure people do not come into contact with water when the pump is connected to the mains.
Verify that the pump is installed on a flat and solid surface. Never place the pump directly on a stone or sand surface.
Always make sure that the pump is placed in a stable and vertical position.
Verify that the pump never runs without liquids. It can cause serious damages.
Always use a rope and fix it to the handle to immerse the pump in water.
Protect the plug and the power cable from heat, oil or sharp edges.
Make sure the machine is disconnected from electric power supply, before performing maintenance operation.
Sound pressure level (Lpa) equal to or less than 70 dB(A)
Sound emission values obtained in conformity with the EN 12639 standard
DANGER
This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years or over and by persons with limited physical,
sensory or intellectual capabilities, or with limited experience and knowledge, provided that they are
supervised or have been instructed in the safe use of the appliance and are aware of the dangers
involved. Children must not be allowed to play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance
must not be carried out by children unless they are supervised
WARNING Pollution of the liquid could occur due to the leakage of lubricants

Chap. 4 Installation (see Fig. 1-3)
GB 3
If the pump is fixed in a permanent location with rigid pipes, it is advisable to install a quick closing fitting in the most
convenient location to facilitate cleaning and maintenance.
The pumps used in ponds, small lakes, fountains or similar installations or close to them should have a safety switch.
Contact a specialised electrician.
To use the pump for temporary applications, install a flexible pipe and connect it to the pump using a pipe holder. To
immerse the pump, use a rope and fix it to the handle.
The fitting supplied with FLOTEC ComPac pumps can be adapted to the dimensions of the
pipe used.
To connect a threaded pipe or a 3/4" (19 mm) quick closing fitting, tighten it directly on the
threaded part (location a).
When using a Ø 25 mm (1") pipe, cut the stage that is not being used at the correct height
(up to point b).
When using a Ø 32 mm (1 1/4"), cut the stages that are not being used at the correct height
(up to point c).
FLOTEC ComPac pumps come with a check valve that prevents the delivery pipe from being drained and the fluid from
recirculating.
The dimensions of the collection chamber should allow the insertion of the pump and reduce to the minimum the start-
up operations per hour (see LIMITATIONS - Technical data).
Connection of the delivery pipe
a
b
c
1. Remove the part that is not being used from the standard fitting cutting it with a knife.
2. Tighten the standard fitting on the pump.
3. Connect the pipe to the standard fitting.
In outdoor fountains, garden ponds and similar places the pump is to be supplied through a residual current device (RCD)
having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA. If these pumps are used in continuous mode for ponds
with fish, it is necessary to check them at regular intervals of 6 months (if the water contains aggressive substances).
It is also advisable to check the maximum dimension of particles recommended for the pump and take the necessary
measures to prevent the fish from being sucked into the pump.
Grounding
The plug of the power cable has a double grounding contact, so that grounding can be performed by simply inserting
the plug.
The installer must make sure that the electric system is grounded in accordance with the law
in force.
Chap. 5 Electric Connection
Verify that the voltage and frequency of the electropump shown on the nameplate correspond to
those available on the mains.
Make sure that the electric system has a high-sensitivity circuit breaker D ≤30 mA (DIN VDE
0100T739).
The power cable must be replaced by qualified personnel only.
GB
Use the handle provided to transport or lift the pump.
Electric shock
risk
DANGER
To prevent possible injuries to people, avoid inserting hands into the mouth of the pump if
this is connected to the mains.
DANGER
When installing, please ensure electropump is disconnected from electrical
supply. Pumps in this series are not suitable for use in a swimming pool and
the relevant cleaning and servicing operations.

Chap. 6 Start-up (see fig. 1 pag. 91)
Instructions for a safe pump start
The plug and connections should be protected by water splashes.
GB 4
Use the pump for the applications listed on the nameplate.
The maximum suction level of 2 mm can be reached in manual mode only. If the level of the fluid to suck is below 20
mm, maximum suction, up to a residual level of 2 meters, can be attained more quickly by starting and topping the
pump 2 or 3 times.
Automatic mode
FLOTEC ComPac pumps have an integrated floating switch. When the water reaches the start-up level, the integrated
floating switch automatically starts the pump.
When the water falls below the stop level, the integrated floating switch stops the pump.
1. Lower the front lever and place it in location "AUT" (see Fig. 1).
2. Place the pump in a stable and straight position so that the integrated floating switch is able to move freely.
3. To start the pump, insert the plug in a 230 V current socket.
Manual mode:
The integrated floating switch is disabled so that the pump can run in continuous mode:
1. Lift the front lever and place it in position "MAN" (see Fig. 1).
2. To start the pump, insert the plug in a 230 V current socket.
Overload protection
FLOTEC ComPac series pumps have a built-in thermal protection switch. The pump stops if an overload condition occurs.
The motor restarts automatically after it has cooled down (see chap 7 of the Troubleshooting section for information
on causes and corrective actions).
In ordinary conditions, FLOTEC ComPac series electropumps do not require any maintenance.
It may be necessary to clean the hydraulics or replace the impeller.
Cleaning the hydraulic components
Disassemble the suction filter (Fig. 2 ref. A) by removing the screws provided (Fig. 2 ref. B)
Clean the impeller (Fig. 2 ref. C) and its chamber (Fig. 2 ref. D)
Reassemble the suction filter (Fig. 2 ref. A) by tightening the screws (Fig. 2 ref. B) and making sure that the O-ring (Fig.
2 ref. E) is correctly positioned in its housing (Fig. 1 ref. E).
Cleaning the floating switch.
Disassemble the suction filter (Fig. 2 ref. A) by removing the screws provided (Fig. 2 ref. B).
Remove the rubber stop (Fig. 2 ref. F) supporting the guide rod (Fig. 2 ref. G)
Remove the floating switch.
Clean the floating switch (Fig. 2 ref. H) and the related chamber (Fig. 2 ref. I).
Insert the floating switch in the guide rod (G) making sure it is inserted in the correct direction (tapered side pointing
upwards).
Insert the rubber stop (Fig. 2 ref. F) on the side of the guide rod.
Reassemble the suction filter (Fig. 2 ref. A) by tightening the screws (Fig. 2 ref. B) and making sure that the O-ring (Fig.
2 ref. E) is correctly positioned in its housing (Fig. 1 ref. E).
Chap. 7 Maintenance and troubleshooting (see fig. 2 pag. 91)
Pump storage instructions
Store the pump in a dry place and protect it from frost.
Make sure the machine is disconnected from electric power supply, before performing
maintenance operation.
Flotec declines all responsibility for damages originating from an incorrect cleaning. If failures occur, please contact
