Abstract

A pump, in particular a centrifugal pump, includes a control panel for manually operating and/or configuring the pump. The control panel includes at least one touch-sensitive surface for user inputs, and at least one film for sealing the touch-sensitive surface from the environment applied on the touch-sensitive surface. The control panel may include features such as light sources, preferably arranged in a ring simulating a mechanical adjustment wheel.
