FAQs

What is the purpose of the small-volume program?

The small-volume program ensures the pump operates smoothly and reliably even when drawing small amounts of water, preventing issues like short cycling that can occur with some low-flow applications.

Can I use this pump for drinking water?

This pump is designed for domestic water supply and garden watering. It is not intended for potable (drinking) water and should not be used for such purposes.

Do I need the Gardena smart gateway to use the pump?

Yes, the Gardena smart gateway is required to utilize the smart features of the pump, such as app control, monitoring, and scheduling. Without it, the pump functions as a standard automatic pump.

How many devices can I connect at once?

The pump features two outputs on the pressure side, allowing you to connect and operate two devices simultaneously.

What is the maximum pumping height?

The product information does not specify the maximum pumping height (head), but it delivers water at a rate of up to 5,000 liters per hour.

How do I protect the pump from dry running?

The pump is equipped with built-in dry-run protection, which automatically shuts off the pump if it detects a lack of water, preventing damage.

What is the warranty period for this pump?

The provided product information does not specify the warranty period. Please refer to the official Gardena documentation or retailer for warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Pump not starting

Check if the pump is properly connected to a power source. Ensure the dry-run protection has not been activated due to low water levels. Verify that the circuit breaker has not tripped.

Low water flow or pressure

Ensure the intake hose is fully submerged and free of blockages. Clean the pump's filter and check for kinks in the hoses. Verify the water source is adequate and that the pump is properly primed.

Pump runs but no water is delivered

The pump may not be properly primed. Try priming it again. Check the intake hose for air leaks and ensure it is submerged in water.

Pump is noisy

Check for air in the system, as this can cause noise. Ensure the pump is on a stable surface to minimize vibration. Debris in the impeller can also cause noise; inspect and clean if necessary.

Smart features not working

Verify the Gardena smart gateway is powered on and connected to your network. Ensure the pump is within the gateway's wireless range. Check the Gardena smart app for any error messages or connectivity issues.
