Bestway Water_pump, Sand Filter Pump For Pool, Multicolor, 3 028 l/h

Product Information

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. Most manufacturers give the range of pool volume capacity of water that the filter pump can handle. It’s shown in litres (L) of water. Ensure that your pool is within this volume range. You may also find a number that indicates the filter capacity. That’s given in litres per hour (L/hr). This is the volume of water (flow) that the filter can manage through it perhour. It’s less that the pump (L/hr) can put through, which is another number that you may come across. Seventh step: fill the bottom part with the new sand until it reaches the mark between low and high marked on the hub. Secondly, choose a filter pump that is large enough for your pool and pool skimmer if you have one which I highly recommend. The difference is night and day when you switch from a filter pump with a flow rate of 1500-2000 L/H that makes the specifications for your size pool to a larger model with a better flow rate says over 3000 L/H and a larger filter. Size and flow rate make a big difference.

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.Now a feature I do like is the auto timer lets you set an automatic schedule for the length of time the filter pump comes on from between two hours and 12 hours. This saves you from remembering to switch the pump on and off yourself. Pros Whatever the size of your above ground pool, this Bestway Flowclear Sand Filter System with the ChemConnect keeps it clean and healthy. While the pre-screen takes out the large debris, the sand or filter balls deal with the rest of the physical impurities, and the chlorine tables you have in the ChemConnect handle bacteria. IMPORTANT: when performing this operation, please be sure that the O-ring is in the correct position and completely clean from the sand.

The point of having a filter pump is to keep the water sparkling and clean. And as well as the usual dirt and debris, this includes green algae. Algae grow more in warm temperatures and sunshine, so it makes sense to run it more in the summertime. 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. 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 Bestway Flowclea 1500gal Filter Pump is the filter pump to choose if you have one of the large Bestway or similar type above group pools. I’m talking up to 31,700L of water so pools over 18ft but I’d recommend it for smaller pools too.Alternatively, and much lighter in weight than the sand, is an equivalent volume of Polysphere filter/media balls. These are small spheres made of 100% polyethylene (a plastic) and provide high filtration for water and other liquids. They’re reusable and renewable. You can clean them by hosing them down. To replace 25kg of filter sand, you need just 700g of these filter balls, so the 9kg of sand equivalent is even less than this. Another very useful feature is the ‘ChemConnect’ attachment. This basiclly allows you to add chlorine tablets (small ones, as larger ones sometimes don’t fit) to the ChemConnect unit, which is next to the larger filter unit. This means you don’t have to use a floating chlorine dispenser or add chlorine directly to the water.
