1. Applications Range of Your GARDENA Dirty Water Pump

GARDENA Dirty Water Pumps have been designed for private use
around your house and garden. They are predominantly destinated
for drainage after flooding, transfer of liquids, draining containers,
taking water from wells and shafts, draining boats and yachts as
well as for water aeration and circulation for a limited period of
time.

Liquids which can be handled by the GARDENA Dirty Water
Pumps are the following: clean and slightly contaminated water,
swimming pool water (prerequisite is the recommended dosage
of additives) and soapy water.

GARDENA Dirty Water Pumps are able to convey dirty water con­taining particles with a diameter of up to 25 mm (for model 6500 SP)
or 30 mm (for model 8000 SP / 13000 SP).

The pumps are fully submersible (waterproof sealed) and can be
submerged down to a depth of 9 m into the liquid.

The GARDENA Dirty Water Pumps are not designed for con­tinuous operation (e.g. continuous circulating operation) in a
pond. Your pump’s life will be shortened correspondingly
by such operation.
Corrosive, easily combustible or explosive substances
(e.g. gasoline, petroleum, nitro thinner), fats, oils, salt-water
and waste water of toilets and urinals must not be pumped.
The temperature of the liquid handled should not exceed 35°C.

2. For Your Safety

According to DIN VDE (German Electrical Engineers’ Associa­tion) 0100, dirty water pumps may only be used in swimming
pools, garden ponds, and fountains if the pump is operated via a
residual-current device with a residual-current rating of ≤ 30 mA.
The pump must not be operated when there are persons in the
swimming pool or garden pond.

For safety reasons we recommend that you always operate
the pump via a residual-current device (DIN VDE 0100-702 and
0100-738).

v Please contact your electrician.

In Austria, according to ÖVE B/EN 60 555 part 1 to 3, pumps
which are used in swimming pools and garden ponds, and
equipped with firm power cable should be fed via an ÖVE
approved isolating transformer – rated voltage must not exceed
230 V.

In Switzerland mobile appliances which are used outdoors,
must be connected via a residual-current device.

According to DIN VDE (German Electrical Engineers’ Associa­tion) 0620, mains power cables must not have a smaller cross­section than the rubber-sheathed cables of the designation
H05 RNF (model 6500 SP and 8000 SP) or H07 RNF (model
13000 SP).The cable length must be at least 10 m.

Data indicated on the type plate must match technical data of
the mains supply.

v Take care that the electrical connections are made within

dry area, protected from flooding.
Protect plug and power cable from heat, oil and sharp edges.
v Don’t use the power cable for plugging off.
The power cable or the float switch must not be used for mount-

ing or relocating the pump. For submerging or lifting/ securing
the pump, fix a rope to the pump’s carrying handle.

v Before operating the pump, first make a visual check, if there

is any damage of the pump (esp. regarding power cable and

plug).
v Observe the minimum water level and the max. delivery

height (see 8. Technical Data).
A damaged pump must not be used.
v In case of damage, please have the pump checked by our

GARDENA Service Centre.

During manual operation, the pump must be switched off as
soon as all the liquid has been pumped away.

v Observe the pump at all times during manual operation.

GB

v Clear the outlet line before use.
Dry-running operation causes increased wear and is to be

avoided. Therefore, in manual operation the pump must be
immediately unplugged when water fails to flow.

Avoid running of the pump for more than 10 min. against closed
delivery side of the pump.

Take care that the pump is located where the inlet openings at
the suction base are obstructed neither completely nor partly.

Stand the pump on a brick if using in a pond.

The pump is automatically switched off on overheating by
the built-in thermal motor protector. After having cooled down,
the motor automatically switches on again (see 6. Trouble
Shooting).

The automatic deaerating valve eliminates any air pockets in
the pump. During this process, air escapes through the vent
bores

4

and air bubbles appear underwater. This is not a defect

of your pump, but serves to deaerate the pump.
It may take several seconds for the air to escape when the

pump is immersed for the first time.

Automatic operation:

The universal fitting 7allows you to connect all the hoses listed
in the previous table.

1. Cut off nipples of the universal fitting 7, which are not needed,

to match the hose connection.

2. Screw the universal fitting

7

onto the pump.

3. Connect the hose to the universal fitting 7.
We recommend that you secure 38 mm (1 1/2”) and 25 mm (1”)

hoses additionally with a GARDENA Hose Clip Art. No. 1591.

Only for 13 mm (1/2”) hose:
The universal fitting 7can also be equipped with a GARDENA
Regulator Valve Art. No. 977 so that the contents of the out-

let line do not flow back through the pump after pumping. The
Regulator Valve can be ordered from your GARDENA dealer.

4. Operation

To ensure that the pump draws the water out, the water to be
drained must be at least 10 cm deep.

The float switch

5

turns the pump on automatically when the

water level exceeds the cut-in height and the water is pumped out.
The float switch 5turns the pump off again as soon as the water

level falls below the cut-out height.

1. Stand the pump on a firm surface

– or –

use a rope attached through the bore hole in the carrying

handle

2

to immerse the pump in a well or shaft.

During automatic operation, ensure that the float switch

5

can move freely.

2. Plug the power cable 1into a mains socket.

Adjusting the Cut-in and Cut-out Height:

The maximum cut-in height and minimum cut-out height (see

8. Technical Data) can be adjusted.
v Push the cable of the float switch

5

into the float switch lock 3.

Do not select a cable length that is too long or short to ensure

that the float switch can turn on and off properly.

• The higher the opening of the float switch lock 3, the higher

the cut-in and cut-out height.

• The shorter the length of cable between the float switch

5

and the float switch lock 3, the lower the cut-in height and the
higher the cut-out height.

The cable length between the float switch

5

and the float switch

lock 3must always be at least 10 cm.

Flushing the pump:

Cleaning the suction
base and feed impeller:

The pump remains in constant operation because the float switch
is bypassed.

1. Push the float switch 5onto the float switch lock 3with the

cable downward.

2. Stand the pump on a firm surface

– or –

use a rope attached through the bore hole in the carrying

handle

2

to immerse the pump in a well or shaft.

3. Plug the power cable 1into a mains socket.

The residual water height is only reached during manual opera­tion since the float switch turns off the pump during automatic
operation before this water level is reached.

5. Cleaning

The pumps are virtually maintenance-free.
After having pumped chlorinated swimming pool water or other liq-

uids leaving residues, the pump should be rinsed with clear water.

Warning! Electric shock !

A Risk of injury due to electric shock.

V Disconnect the pump from the mains before clean-

ing the suction base and feed impeller.

1. Unscrew the 6 Phillips screws 8(model 6500 SP: 4 Phillips

screws) and pull the suction base 6off the pump.

2. Clean the suction base

6

and the feed impeller 9.

3. Reinstall the suction base 6and screw in the Phillips screws 8.

exchanged by the GARDENA Service Centre.
