1. Inleiding
Thank you for choosing the Carbest 12V Water Pump. This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient installation, operation, and maintenance of your pump. Please read this manual thoroughly before use and retain it for future reference.
This 12V pressure water pump features a robust construction designed for a long service life. It operates with a cut-off pressure of 2.8 bar and delivers a flow rate of 10 liters per minute. The pump incorporates a 3-compartment membrane system for reliable performance.
2. Veiligheidsinstruksies
- Ontkoppel altyd die krag voordat u die pomp installeer, diens of enige onderhoud daarop uitvoer.
- Ensure the power supply matches the pump's rated voltage (12V DC).
- Do not operate the pump with flammable liquids. This pump is designed for water only.
- Beskerm die pomp teen vriespunt.
- Ensure proper ventilation around the pump to prevent overheating.
- Use appropriate wiring and fuses for the rated current (7.5A) to prevent electrical hazards.
- Install the pump in a dry location, protected from direct water spray.
3. Opstelling en installering
3.1 Uitpak
Carefully remove the pump and all components from the packaging. Inspect for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Do not use if damaged.
3.2 Montering
Mount the pump in a secure, dry location. The pump can be mounted horizontally or vertically. Ensure the mounting feet are firmly attached to a stable surface to minimize vibration and noise.

3.3 Loodgieterverbindings
Connect the inlet and outlet pipes to the pump. For optimal operation, use pipes with an inner diameter of 12 mm or more. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Inlaat: Connect the water supply line to the inlet port. The pump includes a pre-filter that should be installed on the inlet side to protect the pump from debris.
- uitlaat: Connect the discharge line to the outlet port.

3.4 Elektriese verbindings
Connect the pump to a 12V DC power source. The red wire is for the positive (+) terminal, and the black wire is for the negative (-) terminal. Ensure correct polarity. It is recommended to install an inline fuse appropriate for the pump's rated current (7.5A) to protect the electrical circuit.
4. Operasie
4.1 Voorbereiding van die pomp
Before initial operation, ensure the pump is primed. Open a faucet or valve on the discharge side to allow air to escape. Turn on the power to the pump. The pump will begin to draw water and expel air. Once a steady flow of water is achieved, the pump is primed. Close the faucet/valve, and the pump will shut off automatically when the cut-off pressure is reached.
4.2 Outomatiese werking
The Carbest 12V water pump is designed for automatic operation. It will turn on when a demand for water is detected (e.g., opening a faucet) and turn off when the demand ceases and the system pressure reaches the cut-off point (2.8 bar).
4.3 Vloeitempo
The pump provides a flow rate of 10 liters per minute. Actual flow may vary depending on system pressure, pipe diameter, and elevation.
5. Onderhoud
5.1 Pre-filter Cleaning
Regularly inspect and clean the pre-filter to ensure optimal pump performance and prevent damage from debris. To clean:
- Ontkoppel krag na die pomp.
- Unscrew the transparent housing of the pre-filter.
- Remove the mesh screen and rinse it thoroughly under clean water.
- Reassemble the pre-filter, ensuring the O-ring is properly seated to prevent leaks.
- Reconnect power and check for leaks.

5.2 Winterisering
If the pump will be exposed to freezing temperatures, it must be drained completely to prevent damage. Disconnect the inlet and outlet lines and allow all water to drain from the pump. Store in a dry, frost-free environment.
