Always use caution, common sense, and good judgment when enjoying any water activity. Retain this information for future use.

WARNING

• The pump must be supplied by an isolating transformer or supplied through a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA.
• Consult a qualified electrician for any questions.
• The power source on the wall of building should keep more than 4m away from pool and at a height of 1.2m at least.
• The pump unit must only be supplied at safety extra low voltage corresponding to the marking on the appliance.
• Extension cords can't be used.
• The supply cord cannot be replaced. If the cord is damaged the appliance should be scrapped.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
• Keep the transformer away from the pool and the filter pump more than 3.5m.
• When the appliance will be not used for a long time, such as in the winter, the pool set should be disassembled and stored indoor.
• Electric installations should follow national wiring rules.
• Only the media provided or specified by the manufacturer is to be used with product installation.
• It is essential to check that the suction openings are not obstructed.
• It is advisable to stop the filtration during maintenance operations on the filtration system.
• Regularly monitor the filter clogging level.
• A weekly check is recommended for cleaning.
• Minimum daily filtration operating time of 8 hours is recommended to ensure clear pool water.
• It is essential to change any damaged element or set of elements as soon as possible. Use only parts approved by person responsible for placing the product on the market.
• All filters and filter media shall be inspected regularly to ensure that there is not a build-up of detritus thus preventing good filtration. The disposal of any used filter media should also be in accordance with applicable regulations/legislation.
• The water circulation installation shall comply with the European as well as national/local regulations, especially when dealing with electrical issues. Any change of valve position, pump size, grille size can cause a change of the flow and the suction velocity can be increased.
• It is necessary to have the plug accessible after installation of the pool.
• Please read the instruction manual carefully and keep it for future reference.
• If instruction is missed, please contact with Bestway or search it in website: www.bestwaycorp.com

Electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. Please recycle where facilities exist. Check with your local authority or retailer for recycling advice.

• Risk of electric shock, never run the filter pump when people are swimming in the pool.
• The appliance must be supplied by an earthed power source.
• The supply cord cannot be replaced. If the cord is damaged the appliance should be scrapped.
• Do not bury cord. Locate cord to minimize abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and other equipment.
• This pump is for use with storable pools only. Do not use with permanently-installed pools. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity. A permanently-installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage.
• Using the pump with an unmatched electrical supply is dangerous and will result in catastrophic failure of the pump.
• When working with electricity, turn the electrical power off at the circuit breaker and lock breaker door. Failure to do so will result in increased risk of shock, injury and possibly death.
• Do not remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use adaptor plugs. Consult a qualified electrician for any questions related to the validity of your plugs grounding.
• Handle the pump with care. Do not pull or carry the pump by the power cord. Never pull a plug from the outlet by yanking the power cord. Keep cord free from abrasions. Sharp objects, oil, moving parts, and heat should never be exposed to the filter pump.
• Cleaning and user maintenance must be performed by an adult above 18 years old who is familiar with the risk of electric shock.
• In case of doubt on the pump or any circulation devices, contact a qualified installer, or the manufacturer/importer/distributor.
• Mind all the safety requirements and recommendations described in the manual.
• Atmospheric conditions may affect the performance and life span of your filter pump. Unnecessary wear and tear may occur during periods of cold, heat and exposure to sun. Whenever possible, shelter the pump from these conditions.
• It is important to ensure the factory equipped stopper plugs for the inlet and outlet ports replace the screens before removal or maintenance on the pump is attempted.
• Do not add chemicals in the filter pump.
• Don't plug or unplug the appliance if your hand is wet.
• Always unplug the appliance: on rainy days, before cleaning or other maintenance, and when leaving it unattended on holidays.
• This product is not intended for commercial use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

The EN60335-2-41 TEST standard requires the filter pump to be vertically fixed on the ground or a base made of wood or concrete before use.

For 330 GAL Pools:

• The base should have two holes 9 mm in diameter.
• The space between these holes should be 127 mm.
• Attach the pump to the base using bolts and nuts.
• All base parts should weigh at least over 18 kg to prevent the pump from accidentally falling.

For 530 GAL Pools:

• The base should have two holes 9 mm in diameter.
• The space between these holes should be 159 mm.
• Attach the pump to the base using bolts and nuts.
• All base parts should weigh at least over 18 kg to prevent the pump from accidentally falling.

For 800 GAL Pools:

• The base should have two holes 9 mm in diameter.
• The space between these holes should be 166 mm.
• Attach the pump to the base using bolts and nuts.
• All base parts should weigh at least over 18 kg to prevent the pump from accidentally falling.

[Diagram Description: Diagrams illustrate base attachment requirements for different pool sizes (1249L, 2006L, 3028L). Each requires a base with two 9mm diameter holes, spaced 127mm, 159mm, or 166mm apart respectively. The base assembly uses M8 bolts and nuts and must weigh at least 18kg for stability.]

CHOOSE THE CORRECT LOCATION

Place the Filter Pump on a solid and level ground; it must be positioned on the same level as the base of the pool. If the Filter Pump is in an upper or lower position than the base of the pool, the performance and life span of the Filter Pump can be compromised. The pool and the Filter Pump have to be positioned in an area with adequate drainage and easy access for maintenance operations. Never place the Filter Pump in an area that may accumulate water.

• For the installation instructions, refer to the illustration steps inside the manual. Drawings are for illustration purposes only. May not reflect actual product. Not to scale.
• Bestway will not be responsible for any damage caused to the Filter Pump due to mishandling or failure to follow these instructions.
• It is imperative to check that the hydraulic connectors are not obstructed.
• Do not dry run the Filter Pump. Make sure both the pool's inlet and outlet valves are fully covered by water before operating the Filter Pump.

[Diagram Description: Diagrams illustrate the assembly process. Step 1 shows connecting hoses to the pool's inlet and outlet ports (labeled A and B). Step 2 shows connecting these hoses to the filter pump and securing them with four clamps. Step 3 details priming the pump by filling it with water and running it for one minute, followed by connecting it to the power source.]

• Make sure that the Filter Pump is unplugged before any maintenance.
• For the maintenance instructions, refer to illustration steps inside the manual. Drawings are for illustration purposes only. May not reflect actual product. Not to scale.
• To optimize the Filter Pump performance and for sanitary reasons, we suggest replacing the filter cartridge with a new one every two weeks.
