If the motor of your EINHELL Water System fails to start, first check if there is mains voltage. If voltage is present, the pump rotor may be blocked. In this case, you should dismantle and clean the pump.
Why EINHELL Water System has inadequate delivery rate?
An inadequate delivery rate in your EINHELL Water System could stem from several factors. The suction height might be too high, so check it. Also, the strainer could be dirty, requiring a cleaning. If the water level is falling rapidly, reposition the suction hose to a deeper level. Lastly, contaminants might have diminished the pump's performance; in this case, clean the pump and replace any worn parts.
What to do if my EINHELL Water System has no intake?
If your EINHELL Water System isn't taking in water, there are several potential causes: * The intake valve may not be immersed in water; ensure it is. * The pump chamber might lack a water connection; fill water into the intake. * There could be air in the intake line; make sure the intake line is airtight. * The intake valve might be leaking; try cleaning it. * The strainer (intake valve) could be blocked; clean the strainer. * The maximum suction height may have been exceeded; check the suction height.
Why does the thermostat switch off my EINHELL Water System pump?
The thermostat in your EINHELL Water System might switch off the pump because the motor is overloaded. In this case, dismantle and clean the pump. Another cause could be excessive friction due to foreign substances. Prevent the intake of foreign substances by using a filter.

This document provides comprehensive instructions for the Einhell GC-WW 1046 N and GC-WW 1250 NN home waterworks, covering operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. It is designed to ensure safe and efficient use of the equipment.
The home waterworks is primarily designed for various water supply and irrigation tasks. Its main applications include irrigating and watering green areas, vegetable beds, and gardens, as well as operating lawn sprinklers. It is also suitable for drawing water from ponds, streams, rainwater butts, rainwater cisterns, and springs. The equipment is intended for pumping clear water (fresh water), rainwater, or light suds/service water. The maximum fluid temperature for continuous operation is 35°C. It is crucial to note that this equipment is not designed to convey drinking water. Furthermore, it should not be used to pump aggressive liquids such as acids, alkalis, or silo seepage, nor liquids with abrasive substances like sand, or flammable, gassing, or explosive fluids. Any use outside of its prescribed purpose is considered misuse, and the user will be liable for any resulting damage or injuries. The equipment is not designed for commercial, trade, or industrial applications, and its warranty will be voided if used for such purposes.
Before operating the equipment, it is essential to ensure that the data on the rating plate matches the mains data. For optimal performance and to prevent damage, it is recommended to use a preliminary filter and a suction set, which includes a suction hose, intake cage, and non-return valve. This setup helps prevent long priming periods and protects the pump from stones and other solid foreign bodies.
Connecting the intake line requires careful attention. The suction hose, preferably a plastic hose with spiral reinforcement (at least 19 mm (3/4")), should be securely fastened to the suction connection (approx. 42 mm (11/4") AG) of the equipment, either directly or via a threaded nipple. The suction hose must be equipped with an intake valve; if not, a non-return valve should be installed in the intake line. The intake line should be positioned to rise from the water withdrawal point to the equipment, avoiding any sections higher than the pump, which could impede the priming process by trapping air bubbles. Both intake and discharge lines should be installed to avoid exerting mechanical pressure on the equipment. The intake valve must be submerged deep enough to prevent the unit from running dry if the water level drops. A leaking intake line will draw in air, preventing water intake, so ensure all connections are airtight. To prevent foreign bodies like sand from entering, a coarse filter should be installed if necessary.
For the discharge line, a minimum 19 mm (3/4") hose should be connected to the approx. 33.3 mm (1") IG female thread discharge line connector, either directly or with a threaded nipple. While a 13 mm (1/2") delivery hose can be used with appropriate couplings, it will result in a lower delivery rate. During the priming operation, all shut-off mechanisms in the pressure line (e.g., spray nozzles, valves) must be fully opened to allow air to escape without obstruction.
Electrical connections require the appliance to be connected to a 220-240 V ~ 50 Hz socket-outlet with earthing contact, protected by a minimum 10-ampere fuse. The motor is protected by a built-in thermostat that automatically switches off the pump if it overheats due to overloading or blocking, and switches it back on after cooling.
To operate the equipment, first install it on a solid and level surface. Fill the pump housing with water via the water filler screw (5) to accelerate the priming process. Ensure all shut-off devices in the discharge line are fully open to allow air to escape. Connect the mains cable and switch on the equipment using the power switch (7). The pump will suction water for up to 5 minutes (at maximum suction height). It will automatically shut down when the cut-out pressure of 3 bar is reached. After a loss of pressure due to water consumption, the equipment will automatically cut in again at approximately 1.5 bar. After use, switch off the equipment with the power switch (7).
Maintenance of the home waterworks is minimal. The equipment is designed to be almost completely maintenance-free, but regular checks and care are recommended for a long service life. Before performing any maintenance, always disconnect the equipment from the power supply by pulling the power plug. If the equipment becomes clogged, connect the discharge line to the water line, disconnect the suction hose, open the water line, and switch on the equipment several times for about two seconds. This procedure should resolve most clogging issues. The pressure tank contains an expandable water sack and an air compartment. The maximum pressure in the air compartment should be approximately 1.5 bar. If the air pressure is too low, it needs to be topped up. To do this, unscrew the plastic lid from the tank and use a tire pump with a meter at the valve to raise the pressure to the correct level. It is crucial to completely empty the water bag first using the water drain screw (2). If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales service, or similarly trained personnel to avoid hazards. There are no other parts inside the equipment that require additional user-level maintenance.
When ordering replacement parts, it is important to quote the machine type, article number, identification number, and the specific replacement part number.
For disposal and recycling, the equipment is supplied in protective packaging made from reusable or recyclable raw materials. The equipment and its accessories are made of various materials, including metal and plastic. Defective equipment should never be disposed of with household refuse. Instead, it should be taken to a suitable collection center for proper, environmentally friendly disposal, in accordance with national recycling and waste disposal regulations. As an alternative to returning the equipment to the manufacturer, the owner can ensure proper disposal by taking it to a collection point. This applies to the main equipment; accessories without electrical components are not subject to these regulations.
For storage, the equipment and accessories should be kept in a dark, dry place at temperatures above freezing, ideally between 5 and 30 °C, in its original packaging. If the pump will not be used for an extended period or during winter months, it should be rinsed out with water, completely emptied, and allowed to dry. The equipment must be completely drained before being exposed to frost. After long periods of inactivity, briefly switching the pump on and off will ensure the rotor turns correctly.
Troubleshooting common issues: If the motor fails to start, check for mains voltage, or if the pump rotor is blocked or the thermostat has switched off. If there's no intake, check if the intake valve is in water, if the pump chamber has water, if the intake line is airtight, if the intake valve leaks, if the strainer is blocked, or if the maximum suction height has been exceeded. For inadequate delivery rate, check if the suction height is too high, if the strainer is dirty, or if the water level is falling rapidly. If pump performance is diminished by contaminants, the pump needs to be cleaned and the wearing part replaced. If the thermostat switches the pump off, it indicates motor overload due to friction caused by foreign substances, which requires dismantling and cleaning the pump, and preventing intake of foreign substances by using a filter.
