The pump BWO 155 BlueOne is a domestic hot water pump
with a highly-efcient electronically commutated DC motor
as drive source. It is built according to the original VORTEX
spherical motor principle and contains a permanent magnetic
rotor. The speed of the pump BWO 155 is innitely variable.

Electrical connection
The drive of the pump is a DC motor. Thus a protective
conductor is not required.
For AC operation a transformer is integrated in the cap.
Danger! Danger of electrocution.
► Have all electrical work carried out by
qualied electricians only.
► Turn off the power supply and safeguard it
against being switched back on (see g. 1).
► Check to make sure the power is turned off.
Warning! Fire hazard due to electrical
ignition.
► Make sure that the pump is only connected
to the power supply specied on the name
plate (see p. 4).

► Ensure that the return line is air-free (see p. 6).
Then act as follows to bleed the pump until it runs noisefree (alternately):
► Switch the pump on and off several times (see g. 2).► Open a hot water tap several times (see g. 3).

Warning! Hot surface on pump housing and
motor. Danger of burns!
► Avoid direct contact with pump housing and

For pumps with control module:
The BWO 155 Z pump will run continuously. The BWO 155 ERT pump will run when the preset water
temperature is exceeded.

Electronic regulating thermostat ERT
The pump will switch off when the preset temperature is
reached. After the water has cooled down approx. 7°C
the pump will switch back on.
After connection to the electrical power grid 45°C (e) is set
as the switch-off temperature of the pump (see gure 1).
In case of a power outage the preset switch-off tempera-
ture will be conserved.
