SAFETY INFORMATION
NOTES:
• Place the sand filter on solid, level ground. Ensure the sand filter is at least 3.5 meters
away from poolside. Keep distance as far as possible.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 deteriorated parts. Only use parts approved by the manufacturer.
• Do not allow children or adults to lean or sit on the apparatus.

TECHNICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
RCD WARNING
WARNING: Before inserting plug into a power outlet, make sure the current rate of the power outlet is suitable
for the sand filter.
WARNING: Using an extension lead or multi-plug adaptor with the sand filter can cause the plug to overheat,
causing damage to the equipment and surrounding items. The sand filter is a class I electrical appliance and
must be connected directly to a grounded socket. It is recommended to use only a socket resistant to humidity
and capable of high-power loading. Regularly check the plug and socket for signs of damage before using the
sand filter - do not use the sand filter if the plug or socket is damaged. If you are unsure about the quality of the
electrical supply, please consult a qualified electrician before use.
WARNING: The RCD plug must be tested before each use to avoid the risk of electric shock.
