e. Attach the Control Valve to the Top Tank, ensuring
the O-ring is in place on the rim of the Top Tank and
that the vertical pipe of the Collector Hub is inserted
into the base of the Control Valve (See Fig.11).
f. Attach the Top Flange Clamp and screw into
position. (See Fig.12)
g. Connect the Pressure Gauge onto the Control
Valve.
NOTE: Make sure the O-ring on the rim of the Top
Tank is clean, dry, and has no nicks, tears, scrapes
or sand on it.
NOTE: Before tightening, make sure Port C on the
Control Valve is align Port C on the Pump. (See Fig.13)
5. Attach the Piping to Pump Port C and to Control Valve Port C, screw the threaded locking rings into position.
(See Fig.14)
NOTE: Make sure the Washer is properly position on both ends of the Piping.
Section II: Hose Configuration for Backwashing and Rinsing (See Fig.15)
Fig. 15
NOTE: Ensure the Control Valve is set to the Closed function.
1. Attach one Hose to the sand filter's Port B; screw the threaded locking ring into position.
2. Connect the other end of the Hose to the pool's Outlet B.
3. Remove the Stopper Plug from the pool's Outlet B and insert Debris Screen supplied with your kit - this allows
water to flow to the sand filter.
4. With the Hose and the Debris Screen in position, secure and tighten the Hose Clamp.
NOTE: It is important to ensure all elements: Hose, Debris Screen and pool outlet are properly aligned.
NOTE: You can use the sand filter adapters to connect your Flowclear™ Sand Filter to other
manufacturer's pools if necessary. (See Fig.16)
5. Connect the other Hose to Port D and place the opposite end in a drain area. (See Fig.15)
6. With the Hoses attached, you can proceed to fill the pool, refer to pool owner's manual for filling instructions.
IMPORTANT: Ensure the Control Valve is set to the Closed function.
IMPORTANT: Make certain both of the pool's Inlet and Outlet valves are fully submerged by water before
operating the sand filter.
Section III: Backwash and Rinsing
Backwash and Rinsing must be preformed to prepare the pump for it's first use and to wash the sand.
CAUTION: DO NOT DRY RUN THE SAND FILTER
1. Press down on the Control Valve handle and rotate to the Backwash function.
2. Insert the plug into a residual current device or a circuit of alternative residual power (For France only) and run
the sand filter for 3-5 minutes, or until the water runs clear.
3. Unplug the sand filter and set the Control Valve to the Rinse function.
4. Insert the plug and run the sand filter for 1 min. This circulates water backwards through the sand filter and
drains water out Port D.
5. Unplug the sand filter. Set the Control Valve to the Closed function.
6. Top up pool water.
IMPORTANT: This procedure removes water from the pool, which you'll need to replace. Unplug the
sand filter immediately if water levels near the pool's Inlet and Outlet valves. DO NOT DRY RUN THE
SAND FILTER.

Connect the Second Hose (See Fig.17)
NOTE: It is imperative to check that the hydraulic connectors are not obturated.
NOTE: Ensure the Control Valve is set to the Closed function.
1. Detach the Hose from Port D.
2. Attach the Hose to the Control Valve's Port A; screw the threaded locking ring into position.
3. Connect the other end of Hose to the pool's Inlet A.
4. Remove the Stopper Plug from the pool's Inlet A and insert Debris Screen supplied with your kit - this allows
water to flow to the sand filter.
5. With the Hose and the Debris Screen in position, secure and tighten the Hose Clamp.
NOTE: It is important to ensure all elements: Hose, Debris Screen and pool Inlet are properly aligned.
Sand Filter Operation
1. Now the sand filter is ready for use. Set the Control Valve to the Filter function.
NOTE: To prevent the risk of electrical shock dry any excess water from yourself and the sand filter.
2. Insert the plug to a suitable socket to run the sand filter.
Note: The sand filter has now started its filtering cycle. Check that water is returning to the pool and take note
of the filter pressure on Pressure Gauge. (See Fig.18) Generally, the recommended sand filter pressure is less
than 0.028MPa (4PSI) (in green area) when it is running.
Sand Filter Maintenance
CAUTION: You must ensure the sand filter is unplugged before any maintenance begins or severe risk of
injury or death exists.
Take action to avoid using pools if the filter has problem.
Check the suction if there is any blocking.
Replace all the damaged components.
As dirt builds up in the sand filter, the pressure reading on Pressure Gauge will increase. (See Fig.19) When the
Pressure Gauge is 0.028MPa (4PSI) or higher, or water flow to the pool is too low, it is time to clean the sand.
To clean the sand bed, follow all instructions outlined previously in Section III: Backwash and Rinsing
NOTE: We recommend you clean the sand bed once a month or less regularly depending on how often the pool
is used. Do not clean the sand too frequently.

Lowering or Draining Pool Water
1. Unplug the sand filter and set Control Valve to the Drain function.
2. Detach the Hose from the pool's Inlet A and sand filter Port A and attach to Port D.
NOTE: Remember to replace the Debris Screen with Stopper Plug to prevent water from escaping.
3. Plug-in the sand filter to remove pool water.
WARNING: DO NOT DRY RUN THE SAND FILTER
Winterizing
In areas that have freezing winter temperatures, pool equipment must be winterized to protect against damage.
Allowing water to freeze will damage the sand filter and void warranty.
1. Backwash the sand filter as previously outlined.
2. Drain the pool.
3. Disconnect the two Hoses from the pool and the sand filter.
4. Completely spill the sand of the tank and dry all components.
5. Store the sand filter in a dry location out of child's reach.
Troubleshooting
Bestway strives to provide the best trouble-free sand filters on the market. If you experience any problem do not
hesitate to contact your authorized dealer or us.
Here are some helpful tips to help you to diagnose and rectify common sources of trouble.
Problems Probable Causes
Sand is flowing to the pool -Sand is too small
-Sand bed is calcified
Excessive filter pressure -Dirty filter
-Calcified sand bed
-Insufficient backwashing
Control Valve leaks -Control Valve is set
between two functions
-Washer not in place
Connectors leaks
-Hoses Loosened
Disposal
Meaning of crossed-out wheeled dustbin:
Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted municipal waste, use separate collection facilities.
Contact your local government for information regarding the collection systems available.
If electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills or dumps, hazardous substances can leak into the groundwater
and get into the food chain, damage your health and well-being.
When replacing old appliances with new ones, the retailer is legally obligated to take back your old appliance for
disposals at least free of charge.
