This manual provides essential information for safe installation, operation, and maintenance of your pump.
2 സുരക്ഷാ വിവരങ്ങൾ
വ്യക്തിപരമായ പരിക്കുകളും ഉപകരണങ്ങൾക്ക് കേടുപാടുകളും ഉണ്ടാകാതിരിക്കാൻ ഇനിപ്പറയുന്ന സുരക്ഷാ മുൻകരുതലുകൾ എപ്പോഴും പാലിക്കുക:
- ഇലക്ട്രിക്കൽ സുരക്ഷ: Ensure the power supply matches the pump's specifications (230V). Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance or installation. Use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) for outdoor use.
- ജല സുരക്ഷ: Do not pump flammable or corrosive liquids. Ensure all connections are watertight to prevent leaks and electrical hazards.
- ഇൻസ്റ്റലേഷൻ: The pump must be installed in a location protected from rain and splashes. Ensure stable placement on a level surface.
- പ്രവർത്തനം: Never operate the pump dry. The integrated dry-run protection helps, but manual checks are crucial during initial setup.
- കുട്ടികളും വളർത്തുമൃഗങ്ങളും: പ്രവർത്തിക്കുന്ന പമ്പിൽ നിന്ന് കുട്ടികളെയും വളർത്തുമൃഗങ്ങളെയും അകറ്റി നിർത്തുക.
- പരിപാലനം: Only perform maintenance tasks described in this manual. For complex repairs, contact qualified service personnel.
3. സജ്ജീകരണവും ഇൻസ്റ്റാളേഷനും
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your AL-KO HW 6000 FMS Premium pump.
3.1 അൺപാക്കിംഗും പരിശോധനയും
Carefully remove the pump from its packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage during transit. Ensure all components listed in the packing contents are present, including the instruction manual, corner connection, and filter wrench.
3.2 പ്ലേസ്മെൻ്റ്
Place the pump on a firm, level surface. It must be protected from direct weather exposure (rain, splashes). Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.

3.3 ജല ലൈനുകൾ ബന്ധിപ്പിക്കുന്നു
- സക്ഷൻ ലൈൻ: Connect a robust, non-kinking suction hose to the pump's suction inlet. Ensure the suction line is completely airtight to prevent air ingress, which can impair pump performance. For optimal self-priming, the suction height should not exceed 8 meters.
- Pressure Line: Connect the pressure line to the pump's outlet. The included corner connection and check valve should be used to prevent backflow and maintain pressure.
- പമ്പ് പ്രൈമിംഗ്: Before initial operation, fill the pump housing completely with water through the designated filling opening until no more air bubbles emerge. This is essential for self-priming.
3.4 ഇലക്ട്രിക്കൽ കണക്ഷൻ
Connect the pump to a properly grounded 230V power outlet. Ensure the electrical circuit is protected by a residual current device (RCD/GFCI) for safety, especially in damp environments or outdoor installations.
4. ഓപ്പറേഷൻ
The AL-KO HW 6000 FMS Premium pump features intelligent electronic control for efficient and safe operation.
4.1 പമ്പ് ആരംഭിക്കുന്നു
- Ensure the pump is properly primed (see Section 3.3).
- Connect the pump to the power supply. The pump will perform a self-check.
- The Flow-Measurement System (FMS) display will show the current operating status.
- Open a water tap in your system. The pump will automatically start to deliver water.

4.2 ഇക്കോ മോഡ്
To save energy, switch the pump to Eco mode. This mode can reduce energy consumption by approximately 15% compared to normal operation. Refer to the pump's display and controls for activating Eco mode.
4.3 Dry-Run Protection
The integrated dry-run protection system automatically shuts off the pump if no water is detected in the suction line, preventing damage. If the pump stops due to dry-run protection, check your water source and suction line for issues before restarting.
5. പരിപാലനം
Regular maintenance ensures the long-term performance and reliability of your pump.
5.1 പ്രീ-ഫിൽട്ടർ വൃത്തിയാക്കൽ
The pump is equipped with a large, easy-to-clean pre-filter that protects the pump's interior from dirt and debris. Regularly check and clean the filter, especially if you notice a decrease in pump performance.
- വൈദ്യുതി വിതരണത്തിൽ നിന്ന് പമ്പ് വിച്ഛേദിക്കുക.
- Close any valves on the suction and pressure lines.
- Use the provided filter wrench to carefully open the filter housing.
- Remove the filter element and rinse it thoroughly under clean running water.
- Inspect the filter element for damage and replace if necessary.
- Reinsert the clean filter element and securely close the filter housing using the wrench.
- Reconnect power and prime the pump if necessary before restarting.

5.2 ശീതകാലം
If the pump is exposed to freezing temperatures, it must be drained completely to prevent frost damage. Disconnect all water lines and open the drain plug to allow all water to escape. Store the pump in a frost-free location.
6. പ്രശ്നപരിഹാരം
This section provides solutions to common issues you might encounter with your AL-KO HW 6000 FMS Premium pump.
| പ്രശ്നം | സാധ്യമായ കാരണം | പരിഹാരം |
|---|---|---|
| Pump does not start or deliver water. | No power supply; pump not primed; air in suction line; dry-run protection activated; clogged filter. | Check power connection; prime the pump; check suction line for leaks; check water source; clean pre-filter. |
| Reduced water flow or pressure. | Clogged pre-filter; air in suction line; low water level in source; partially closed valves. | Clean pre-filter; check suction line for leaks; ensure adequate water supply; open all valves fully. |
| Pump runs continuously or cycles frequently. | Leak in pressure system; check valve faulty; insufficient air in pressure tank. | Inspect all connections for leaks; check/replace check valve; ensure proper air charge in the pressure tank (refer to specific instructions for pressure tank maintenance). |
| പ്രവർത്തന സമയത്ത് അസാധാരണമായ ശബ്ദം. | Air in pump/lines; foreign object in pump; motor bearing issue. | Bleed air from the system; disconnect power and inspect pump impeller for obstructions (if safe to do so); if noise persists, contact service. |
