Unplug the filter pump, remove and discard the used Filter cartridge, detach all hoses, dry all components thoroughly, and store in a dry location out of reach of children where temperature ranges from 4–40°C (page 8).
What is the correct way to mount my flowclear sand filter pump on a pedestal or base?
The filter pump must be vertically fixed on a pedestal made of wood, concrete or similar durable material. Two holes 9mm in diameter (centred 159mm apart) must be drilled into the pedestal before securing the filter pump properly with bolts and nuts (Page 7).
What should I do if my GFCI receptacle does not work during testing?
If your GFCI plug fails to function after following the test steps, do not use the pump and contact Bestway Customer Service immediately (Page 8).
How do I factory reset the Bestway Flowclear Sand Filter Pump?
There is no specific procedure mentioned for factory resetting the pump. The manual does not provide information on a factory reset. If there are settings to be cleared, consult your local Bestway Customer Service (page 7).
What should I do if the indicator light doesn’t turn red when pressing the ‘RESET’ button during GFCI testing?
If the indicator light does not turn red after pressing the ‘RESET’ button, it indicates that the test has failed. Do not use the pump and contact your local Bestway Customer Service (Page 8).
How do I check and maintain the ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI) plug before use?
To test the GFCI plug, insert it into a grounding type receptacle. Press the 'RESET' button; then press the 'TEST' button. The indicator should turn off to confirm proper operation. If the light does not change as expected, do not use the pump and contact Bestway Customer Service.

WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY,do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times. WARNING - RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.Connect only to a grounding type receptacle.This product is provided with a ground-fault circuit-interrupter. If replacement of the plug is needed, use only identical replacement parts. WARNING:The unit is provided with a ground-fault circuit-interrupter(GFCI). To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button.Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the pump without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Do not use this pump. Disconnect the pump and have the problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using. CAUTION-To reduce the risk of electric shock the pool must be installed no closer than 6 feet (1.8 m) from any electrical outlet. Do not place portable appliances closer than 5 feet (1.5 m) from the pool. WARNING:The pump is not intended to be bonded to the equipotential bonding grid. DO NOT BURY CORD. Locate cord to minimize abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and other equipment. WARNING -To reduce the risk of electric shock, the supply cord cannot be replaced. If the cord is damaged the appliance should be scrapped. WARNING -To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use extension cord to connect unit to electric supply; provide a properly located outlet. CAUTION -This pump is for use with storable pools only. Do not use with permanently-installed pools. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its 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.
CAUTION -For continued protection against possible electric shock this unit is
to bemounted to the base in accordance with the installation instructions.
IMPORTANT-Using the pump with an unmatched electrical supply is
dangerous and will result in catastrophic failure of pump.
