Bestway FLOWCLEAR 58401 Manuel De Instrucciones página 8

NOTE:
• 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.
• When the Control Valve is set to the Backwash, Rinse, or Drain position, water will discharge from
Port D on the Control Valve.
• Do not switch on or operate the sand filter with the Control Valve set to the Closed function or it will
seriously damage the sand filter.
• Do not set the Control Valve between two functions, or it will lead to leaking.
• To avoid water leakage, screw the Port D Cap onto the Control Valve Port D before operating the
filter or circulate function.
Air Release
Press down the control valve handle and wait untill the water flow from Port D to release the air.
NOTE:
It is important to repeat this operation every time you start the pump after winterizing, maintenance and
backwashing the sand bed.
FIRST TIME USE INSTRUCTIONS
Backwash and Rinsing must be performed to prepare the pump for its 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. Plug in and run the sand filter for 3-5 minutes, or until the water runs clear.
3. Switch off the sand filter and set the Control Valve to the Rinse function.
4. Switch on the sand filter and run the sand filter for 1 min. This circulates water backwards through the sand filter and
drains water out Port D.
5. Switch off the sand filter. Set the Control Valve to the Closed function.
6. Top up pool water if required.
IMPORTANT:
This procedure removes water from the pool, which you'll need to replace.
Switch off the sand filter immediately if water levels near the pool's Inlet and Outlet valves.
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. Switch on the sand filter to run it.
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. Generally, the
recommended sand filter pressure is less than 0.45 Bar (6.5 PSI) when it is running.
Sand Filter Maintenance
CAUTION: You must ensure the sand filter is switched off and unplugged
before any maintenance begins or severe risk of injury or death exists.
As dirt builds up in the sand filter, the pressure reading on Pressure Gauge will
increase. When the Pressure Gauge is 0.45Bar (6.5PSI) 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 II
and Section III: Backwash and Rinsing.
NOTE:
1. The Pressure Gauge is just used for measuring the water pressure, not used for precision
measurement.
2. 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.
