Setup and Installation

Attaching a Base

The filter pump must be vertically fixed on the ground or a base made of wood or concrete. The base should have two 7mm diameter holes spaced 242mm apart. Attach the pump to the base using bolts and nuts. All base parts should weigh at least 18kg to prevent accidental falling.

Diagram shows base dimensions (460x280mm) and mounting hardware (2x M6 bolt, 2x M6 nut).

Checklist

To check parts, consult the part list in this manual. Verify equipment components match your purchased model. For damaged or missing parts at purchase, visit www.bestwaycorp.com/support.

Choose the Correct Location

Place the Filter Pump on solid, level ground at the same level as the pool base. Positioning the pump higher or lower than the pool base can compromise performance and lifespan. The pool and pump must be in an area with adequate drainage and easy access for maintenance. Never place the Filter Pump where water may accumulate.

Installation

Refer to illustration steps in the manual for installation instructions. Drawings are for illustration purposes only and may not reflect the actual product. Bestway is not responsible for damage caused by mishandling or failure to follow instructions.

Ensure 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.

Installation Process (General Description]

The installation involves connecting hoses to the pool and the filter pump, ensuring connections are secure and free from obstructions. Specific steps are illustrated in the manual.

Example steps shown include:

• Connecting hoses to pool inlets/outlets (Diagrams 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2).
• Priming the pump by ensuring water covers the inlet/outlet and purging air (Diagrams 1.3, 1.4, 2.3, 2.4). This involves filling the pump with water, attaching hoses, and ensuring water flow.
