Part Descriptions and Diagrams
The following diagrams illustrate the various components of the Bestway filter pump system. Refer to the part numbers and descriptions for identification.
Filter Pump Components
A: Filter Pump Housing
B: Filter Cartridge
C: Filter Cap
Assembly and Installation
Pedestal Fixing:
IEC60335-2-41 TEST standard requires the filter pump to be vertically fixed on the ground or a certain pedestal made of wood or concrete before use. There should be two holes 9mm in diameter on the pedestal, with a space of 127mm between them. Attach the filter pump to the pedestal using the provided bolts and nuts. All pedestal parts should weigh at least 18kgs to prevent the pump from accidentally falling.
Diagrams for Assembly:
The manual includes diagrams illustrating the assembly process, showing how parts connect and are positioned. These diagrams are crucial for correct setup.
Operation
Connection Valve Assembly: For pools with a connection valve.
Filling Pool with Water:
- ATTENTION: Do not leave the pool unattended while filling with water.
- Fill the pool until the water capacity reaches 90%. DO NOT OVERFILL, as this could cause the pool to collapse. In times of heavy rainfall, you may need to empty some water to ensure the level is correct.
- When filling is completed, check that the water is not collecting on any side to ensure the pool is level.
- IMPORTANT: If the pool is not level, drain the water and re-level the ground by digging. Never attempt to move the pool with water in it, as this may result in serious personal injury or damage to the pool.
- WARNING: Your pool may contain a great deal of pressure. If your pool has any bulge or uneven side, it means the pool is not level. The sides may burst, and the water may discharge suddenly, causing serious personal injury and/or damage to property.
- Check the pool for any leaks at valves or seams. Check the ground cloth for any evident water loss. Do not add chemicals until this has been done.
- NOTE: In the event of a leak, patch your pool using the underwater adhesive repair patch provided. Refer to the FAQs for further information.
Proper Water Level: The diagram indicates the correct water level.
Pool Maintenance
IMPORTANT: If you do not adhere to the maintenance guidelines below, your health might be at risk, especially that of your children. If you don't respect the ideal values of the water chemicals, the PVC can be damaged and become discolored.
Regularly check the pH value and chlorine concentration weekly and adjust to the ideal values.
| TEST | IDEAL VALUES |
|---|---|
| pH value | 7.4-7.6 |
| Cyanuric acid | 30 - 50 ppm |
| Free chlorine | 2 - 4 ppm |
| Chlorine compound | 0 |
| Algae | None visible |
| Calcium hardness | 200-400 ppm |
To keep your pool clean:
- Contact your local pool supply shop for advice and purchase of chemicals and pH kits. Maintaining clean and healthy water is crucial for the liner's longevity. Strictly follow instructions from professional technicians for water treatment using chemicals.
- Locate a bucket of water next to the pool to clean users' feet before entering the pool.
- Cover the pool when not in use.
- Skim the pool regularly to remove settled dirt.
- Check and wash the filter cartridge regularly.
- Gently clean any scum from below the top ring with a clean cloth.
- Be careful in case of rain; check that the water level is not higher than expected. If it is, YOU HAVE TO DISCHARGE THE EXCESS WATER.
Proper maintenance can maximize the life of your pool.
During the season of use, the filtration system must be run every day for enough time to ensure at least a complete renewal of the water volume.
ATTENTION: Do not use the pump when the pool is in use.
Repair: Check the pool for any leaks from valves or seams. Check the ground cloth for any evident water loss. Do not add chemicals until this has been done.
NOTE: In the event of a leak, patch your pool using the underwater adhesive repair patch provided. Refer to the FAQs for further information.
Dismantling
- Unscrew the drain valve cap on the outside of the pool counter-clockwise and remove it.
- Connect the adaptor to the hose and place the other end of the hose in the area where you will drain your pool. (Check local regulations for drainage by-laws).
- Screw the control ring of the hose adaptor clockwise onto the drain valve. The drain valve will open, and water will start to drain automatically.
- ATTENTION: Water flow can be controlled with the control ring.
- When draining is finished, unscrew the control ring to close the valve.
- Disconnect the hose.
- Screw the cap back onto the drain valve.
Storage and Winterization
- Please remove all accessories and spare parts of the pool and store them clean and dry.
- Once the pool is completely dry, sprinkle with talcum powder to prevent the pool from sticking together, then fold the pool carefully. If the pool is not completely dry, mold may result and damage the pool liner.
- Store the liner and accessories in a dry place with a moderate temperature between 5°C (41°F) and 38°C (100°F).
- During the rainy season, the pool and accessories should also be stored as per the above instructions.
- Improper draining of the pool might cause serious personal injury and/or damage to personal property.
- It is strongly recommended that the pool is disassembled during the off-season (winter months). Store in a dry location out of children's reach.
- Air dry the pool.
- ATTENTION: Do not leave the drained pool outside.
