Deltec E-Flow pumps are brushless motor, true sine wave pumps. They incorporate
the lasts technology in energy saving and performance control.
They come with a separate controller. The power consumption and performance can
be selected with the up/down buttons located on the face of the controller. The
pumps revolutions are fully automatically adjusted until the set wattage has been
reached (not a mere revolution control). The pump itself can be installed either dry
outside the sump or submersed inside the sump or aquarium. The controller is not
submersible. See instructions on page 5
Deltec E-flow pumps are designed /manufactured according to existing technical
standards and safety regulations. However there is a potential risk to persons and
goods if the pumps or safety instructions are not being observed. Persons under the
age of 16 or persons who are unable to understand possible risks or do not fully
understand the safety and operating instructions are not allowed to use this pump
for safety reasons.
Keep these instructions in a safe place where it is accessible at all times.
Please read the following instructions very carefully before installing the
pump. Should you still have questions please contact your supplier.
- Always unplug the pump during the installation process.
- After unpacking check pump, controller and cables for any damage. If any
components show signs of damage, do not use the pump.
- The pumps are designed for 'dry' or submersible installation in fresh or
seawater aquarium systems.
- The pumps are not self priming and need to be installed below the water level.
- The separate controller must be placed in a dry, cool area, to prevent damage
to the electronic control circuits through water or dampness.
- To install, place the pump on a firm, even surface.
- Never select pipes or hoses smaller in diameter than that of the pumps suction
and pressure side fittings. Shut off valves should be selected one size bigger
and fitted with reducers down to the normal pipe diameters, since the normal
inner shut off valve diameter restricts the flow considerably.
- To achieve best performance, plan the piping as short as possible, use slow
bends instead of elbows.
- On longer pipe installation increase the diameter of the pipes. Instead of 32
mm use 40 mm, etc.
- It is good practice to use a straight length of pipe of app 300 mm on the
suction side of the pump. This will give a laminar flow into the pump and
prevent unwanted noises
- Never run the pump dry, this may lead to irreparable damage.
