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.
NOTE: Place the sand filter on solid, level ground. Ensure the sand filter is at least 1 meter away from poolside.
Ensure the sand filter is at least 2 meters away from poolside. (For France only)
Pay attention to position pool and sand filter so adequate ventilation, drainage, and access for maintenance is
available. Never place the sand filter in an area that may accumulate water, or on a walking path with lots of foot
traffic.
NOTE: It is necessary to have the plug accessible after installation of the pool.
The plug of the sand filter shall be at least 3,5m away from the pool. (For France only)
Electric installations should fulfill the requirements of standards NFC 15-100. (For France only)
NOTE: Atmospheric conditions may affect the performance and life span of the sand filter; take adequate
precautions to protect the sand filter from unnecessary wear and tear that may occur during periods of cold or hot
weather and/or exposure to sun.
NOTE: Please examine and verify all sand filter components are present before use. Notify Bestway at the
customer service address listed on this manual for any damaged or missing parts at the time of purchase.
It is imperative to change as soon as possible all the deteriorated parts. Only use the parts approved by the
manufacturer.
NOTE: Do not allow children or adults to lean or sit on the apparatus.
NOTE: Do not add chemicals to the sand filter.
When chemical products are used to clean the pool water, it is recommended to respect a minimum filtration time
to preserve the health of swimmers which depends on compliance of health regulation.

Control Valve Overview
WARNING: To prevent equipment damage and possible injury, unplug the sand filter pump before
changing the Control Valve function every time. Changing valve positions while the pump is running can
damage the Control Valve, which may cause personal injury or property damage.
How to Use the Control Valve
Press down on the Control Valve handle and rotate to desired function. (See Fig. 2)
Control Valve Functions
The Control valve is used to select 6 different filter functions: Filter, Rinse, Circulate, Backwash, Closed and
Drain. (See Fig. 3)
NOTE: Do not set the Control Valve between two functions, or it will lead to leaking.
PLEASE NOTE: To avoid water leakage, screw the Port D Cap onto the Control Valve Port D before operating
the sand filter.
Port A
Fig. 3
Filter: This function is used to filter pool water and should be positioned here 99% of the time. Water
is pumped through the sand filter, where it is cleaned and returned to the pool.
Backwash: This function is used to clean the sand bed; water is pumped down through the
Connector Hub, upwards through the sand bed, and deposited out of Port D.
Rinse: This function for initial startup, cleaning, and sand bed leveling after Backwash; water is
pumped downwards through the sand bed, up through the Connector Hub and deposited out of the
valve Port D.
Circulate: This function circulates pool water bypassing the sand filter; use this function if the filter is
broken to collect debris in the Debris Screens.
Drain: This function drains water from the pool; another filter bypass setting, water is pumped and
deposited out of Port D, instead of returning it to the pool.
NOTE: When the Control Valve is set to the Backwash, Rinse, or Drain position, water will discharge
from Port D on the Control Valve.
Be sure all provisions for wastewater disposal meet applicable local, state or national codes. Do not
discharge water where it will cause flooding or damage.
WARNING: When draining the pool or washing the sand bed, remember to unscrew the Port D Cap
from the Control Valve Port D. Ensure the sand filter is turned off before unscrewing the Port D Cap.
Closed: This function stops water flowing between the sand filter and the pool.
NOTE: Do not plug-in or operate the sand filter with the Control Valve set to the Closed function or it
will seriously damage the sand filter.
Sand Filter Installation
(You will need a Phillips screwdriver.)
Section I: Assembly
1. Carefully remove all components from
the package and check to ensure nothing
is damaged. If equipment is damaged,
immediately notify the retailer from where
the equipment was purchased.
2. The sand filter should be placed on solid,
level ground, preferably a concrete slab.
Position the sand filter so the Ports and
Control Valve are accessible for
operation, servicing and winterizing.
3. EN60335-2-41 TEST standard requires
the sand filter must be vertically fixed on
ground or a certain pedestal made of
wood or concrete before use to prevent the sand filter from accidental falling. Fully assembled sand filter will
exceed 18kg. The mounting holes should be 8mm in diameter and spaced 200mm apart. Use two bolts and
nuts with a maximum of 8mm in diameter to fasten the sand filter to the pedestal. (See Fig.4)
4. Load pool-grade filter sand.
NOTE: Use only special pool-grade filter sand, free of all limestone or clay: #20 Silica sand 0.45-0.85mm,
approximately one 25kg bag should suffice. Use of other sands will reduce filtering performance and may
damage the sand filter, thereby voiding the warranty.
a. Turn the Nut counter clockwise to release the Flange Clamp (See Fig.5) and remove the Top Tank. (See Fig.6)
b. Center the Collector Hub in the Bottom Tank. Slowly, add the sand so the weight of the sand does not damage
the Skimmer on the Connector Hub, until it reaches the top rim of the Bottom Tank. (See Fig.7)
NOTE: To avoid damaging the Skimmer when adding sand, pour some water into the Bottom Tank to
submerse the Skimmer on the Collector Hub.
NOTE: SAND NOT INCLUDED. Do not pour the sand into the pipe of the Collector Hub. (See Fig.8)
c. Ensure the O-ring is in place on the rim of the Bottom Tank (See Fig.9), and wash away any sand from around
the rim of the Bottom Tank.
NOTE: Make sure the O-ring on the rim of the Top Tank is clean, and has no nicks, tears, or scrapes or sand
F4C046N
on it.
d. Attach the Top Tank to the Bottom Tank, place the Nut handle back and turn clockwise to fasten the Flange
Clamp.
NOTE: Make sure the bulge on the washer insert into the hole under the fastener. (See Fig.10)
