Limitations

• To avoid the pump clogging - the
pump should not be placed on the
bottom of the water butt, this can be
achieved by either suspending the
pump from a rope attached to the
handle, or by placing the pump on 2
bricks (see Fig. 2).

• The pump has a self priming vent to
remove any trapped air. The priming
process can take up to 5 minutes. For
faster priming lower the pump in to
the water without the hose
connected, and connect the hose
after a few seconds once the air has
escaped.

TO CONNECT TO AN IRRIGATION
SYSTEM:

■

For use with hoses and hose reels (see
Fig. 2) add a 2166 hose connector
(available separately) and pass hose
out through hole in lid of tank.

■

For use with micro irrigation system -

Do not use with a pressure regulator

(see Fig. 3) Remove inlet from
pressure regulator and attach directly
to the hose outside of the water butt
using a 2166 hose connector and a
2289 accessory adaptor (both
available separately).

TO DRAIN WATER:

- (see Fig. 4) add a 2166 hose
connector (available separately) and
place the end of hose in a suitably
sized and positioned container.

• The Hozelock Water Butt Pump has a

built in thermal protection switch.
The pump stops if an overload
condition occurs. The motor restarts
automatically after it has cooled

down.

• Insert the pump into a 220-240v A/C
socket.

In ordinary conditions the Water Butt
Pump does not require any
maintenance, however occasionally it
will be necessary to clean the two
filters and the inlet.

Make sure that the pump is
disconnected from the electric
power supply before performing
any maintenance.

• To clean the coarse inlet filter,
remove filter cover on base of
pump by twisting clockwise (see
Fig 5A). Remove filter sponge and
rinse in clean water. Replace
sponge and re assemble filter
cover.

• To clean the fine outlet filter,
remove tap connector on outlet of
pump, remove fine filter from
inside the tap connector and rinse
in clean water (see Fig 5B).
Replace fine filter in tap connector
and re-assemble. (NB – This filter is
designed to protect your Hozelock
products from damage due to the
use of dirty water. It is essential to
use with micro irrigation,
AquaPod, & all Sprinklers. It is
optional with sprayguns , nozzles
& lances).

Store the pump in a dry place and
protect from frost.
