The Bestway 58486 Flowclear Sand Filter Pump can be used with pools that have water capacities of 300-17,600gal (1,100-66,600l) EFFICIENTLY FILTERS POOL WATER: The sand traps dirt and debris in a durable, corrosion-resistant filter tank as a pre-filter strainer basket catches larger debris, such as leaves, hair, and dirt to ensure that the pump lasts many summers of use. Water flows through the pool pump at a flow rate of 800 gallons/hr.

Seventh step: fill the bottom part with the new sand until it reaches the mark between low and high marked on the hub. In the sand model we review, a pre-screen collects the bigger pieces of unwanted material and you should wash this out daily. However, you only need to replace the sand every few years. Just be aware that, if you do have a pool at the high end of the range, it takes about eight hours a day of running the filter to circulate all of the water once through the filter so you might be better upgrading even further to one of the sand pumps instead. Pros Installation is easy. Just attach the hoses to the filter pump and then to the designated places on the pool structure. Make sure you’re near enough to an outside electrical outlet to plug the pump in and you’re ready to filter your pool water. We can repair manufacturing faults however we are unable to repair goods that have been damaged in use.IMPORTANT: cover the hole on the top of the hub to avoid the sand going inside, and add the sand gently to avoid damaging the debris screen at the bottom of the tank. A rough rule is to cycle all the water in your pool through the filter once a day. This could take four to eight hours but you don’t have to do that all at once. You can break the filtering up into different sessions through the day. You may want to avoid doing this at nighttime if your pump is somewhat loud. To fix a puncture you will require a repair kit. We would suggest using a waterproof repair patch or epoxy vinyl glue.

For most people with pools between 6ft and 12ft, this Intex Krystal Clear Swimming Pool Filter Pump is a good choice and, as shown above, in the pictures, is powerful enough to use with a pool heater too. Although this is the Intex brand filter pump, I know that most of these pools, including Bestway, use a standard-size fitting, so it should also be compatible with most other pools. Surface dispenser I use to slowly add chlorine to the water to kill algae and stop the water turning green Third step: disconnect the hoses that connect the sand filter to the pool. This will make it easier to remove the sand. Fourth step: open the drain valve on the bottom of the sand filter to drain all residual water into the sand filter body.

One of the most common questions asked about using a filter pump is how long you should run it. Should you run it all the time, 24/7, just for sunlight hours, or only for the time you’re in the pool? In my research I found a variety of answers ranging from “at least a few hours a day” through to “10 to 12 hours a day in summer”. This is normally caused either by the pool not being set up on flat level ground or someone standing or leaning on the frame of the pool. We would suggest moving the pool to a more suitable location. We would also advise that you do not stand on the frame of the pool, the ladder must be used for entering and exiting the pool. This type of damage is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty so you may need to replace parts. Products such as washing detergent, moisturiser, deodorant, make-up, sun lotion or fake tan can cause discolouration. We would suggest showering before using the pool to avoid this. If the problem does occur you can use washing up liquid, stain remover or miracle pads to remove stains or marks.

In my review, this Bestway Flowclear Sand Filter System is different from the other pool filter pumps in that its filtration system uses quartz sand, or you can use fibre filter balls instead. The advantage of this is that you have to replace the sand every few (three) years and not every few weeks like you do the paper filters in the smaller standard filter pumps.

The dispenser release provides a stable level of chlorine needed for proper chemical balance. CLEAN, HEALTHY WATER: Our filter comes with the ChemConnect Dispenser, which maintains gentle and skin-friendly water by providing a stable level of chlorine that is evenly dispersed throughout the entire pool. To find out how long it takes to filter all the water in your pool once, divide the pool’s volume by the filter’s flow, and that gives you the number of hours you need to run the filter pump for. Running your pool filter pump This is normal. The pool will bend inwards until the pool has been filled up to 80% capacity. Please see the pool manual for more detailed information and images. Given all this advice, the best answer I can offer is to start off running your filter pump for about eight hours a day and adjust that time according to the results that you get. Bacteria

Scottish Highlands & Offshore Islands (includes Scottish Islands, Isles of Scilly, Channel Islands, Isle of Wight, Isle of Man, Inverness) Fifth step: open the metal ring in the middle of the tank body and open the upper part of the tank. Sixth step: take out all old sand from the tank and rinse the bottom part with a garden hose to be sure it is clean. This Bestway Flowclear filter pump is an alternative to my Intex Krystal Clear Swimming Pool Filter Pump, especially if you already have a Bestway pool and not Intex. They are both incredibly similar and use the same attachments with very similar performance metrics.We would not advise that the pool is left in direct sunlight. We would suggest setting the pool up in a shaded spot or using a gazebo or canopy to help protect the pool.
