Cleaning The Strainer; Troubleshooting - Bestway FLOWCLEAR 58401E Manual De Instrucciones

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. Swith on the sand filter, press the "RESET" button 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 0.45Bar (6.5PSI)
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
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.

Cleaning the Strainer

1. Switch off the sand filter and set the Control Valve to the Closed function.
2. Replace the Debris Screens with Stopper Plugs to prevent water from escaping.
3. Remove the Strainer Cover by unscrewing it.
4. Take out the Strainer, remove any debris.
5. Put the Strainer back into position. Ensure the hole in the strainer is aligned.
6. Ensure the Seal Ring is in place. Secure the Strainer Cover back.
7. Remove the Stopper Plugs and insert the Debris Screens
NOTE:
The Strainer must be emptied and cleaned periodically. A dirty or blocked strainer will reduce the performance
of the sand filter.
Lowering or Draining Pool Water
1. Switch off the sand filter and set Control Valve to the Drain function.
2. Detach the Hose from the connection valve's Port 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. Switch on the sand filter and press the "RESET" button to run the filter and remove the 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.
2. Drain the pool according to the pool owner's manual.
3. Unscrew the drain valve cap at the bottom of the tank and release the remaining water.
4. Disconnect the two Hoses from the pool and the sand filter.
5. Completely pour the sand out of the tank and dry all components.
6. Store the sand filter in a dry location out of child's reach.
