Seasonal Flow Control (SFC)
G
AquaMax Eco Premium 12000/16000/20000
With the SFC function activated, the pump automatically optimises and reduces the amount of water and the delivery
head by up to 50%. Thanks to the SFC function the pump adapts to the individual pond ecology throughout the year
and supports the pond biology through temperature-dependent circulation (winter mode, transition mode and summer
mode).
The SFC function is switched on and off at the pump. The SFC function reduces the power consumption of the pump;
without SFC, the pump permanently operates at maximum throughput. The seasonal flow control does not function
when the pump is installed on land (dry installation). If a skimmer, satellite filter or Oase InScenio control unit is used,
we recommend deactivating the SFC depending on the unit.
The pump power can only be controlled by an OASE current management unit.
Remedy of faults
Malfunction
The unit is not performing its suction function
Insufficient capacity
Unit switches off after a short running period
Maintenance and cleaning
Attention! Dangerous electrical voltage.
Possible consequences: Death or severe injury.
Protective measures:
• Electrical units and installations with a rated voltage of U > 12 V AC or U >30 V DC located in the water:
Isolate the units and installations (switch off and disconnect from the power supply) before reaching into
the water.
• Isolate the unit before starting any work.
• Secure the unit to prevent unintentional switching on.
Cleaning the unit
Note!
Recommendation on regular cleaning:
• Clean the pump as required but at least twice a year.
• Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solutions as they could attack the housing or impair the function
of the unit.
• Recommended cleaning agent for removing stubborn limescale deposits:
– Pump cleaning agent PumpClean from OASE.
– Vinegar- and chlorine-free household cleaning agent.
• After cleaning, thoroughly rinse all parts in clean water.
Cause
No mains voltage
Impeller blocked, pump running dry
Strainer casing or satellite filter clogged
Hose blocked
Hose kinked
Excessive loss in the hoses due to friction
Pump overload. The capacity is automatically
reduced to protect the pump.
Strainer casing clogged
Pump running dry
Remedy
Check mains voltage
Clean pump housing, check supply lines for
blockages
Clean
Clean or replace hose
Eliminate kink, replace hose if it is damaged
Reduce hose length to reduce frictional loss
− Clean the pump housing
− Reduce the ambient temperature (e.g. en-
sure that the specified water temperature
is adhered to, avoid direct sunlight)
− Ensure adequate ventilation for dry instal-
lation
Clean strainer casing
− Check supply lines for blockages
− Vent hoses
− Check connections for leaks
