Bestway Flowclear Sand Filter System with ChemConnect

Corresponde às expectativas!!! Acabaram os problemas de filtragem na minha piscina.

Fácil de montar, muy funcional y ocupa poco.

Pour filtrer une piscine de 5600 l ,j ai pris une pompe surdimensionnée (9800l/h) pour pouvoir prendre une piscine plus grande. Bruit raisonnable, efficace.j ai mis 4 étoiles pour l instant le temps de faire un test de la minuterie .pensez a prendre 2 vanne d arret pour isoler la pompe sa rend service .

Bon produit, facile à installer et efficace. Installé pour piscine tubulaire, fonctionne très bien. Petit plus, livré avec un diffuseur de chlore vissable sur la buse d'alimentation.

We bought this Sand Filter as an upgrade to the Bestway Cartridge Filter Pump (800 Gallon) which could not clear our outdoor Bestway pool quick enough after heavy usage, poor weather, post slight algae treatment etc. This pump was hugely over-specified for our needs at a system flow rate of 2,200 Gallons per hour. However, it cleans significantly faster than the filter pump can and we only run for 4 hours a day (2 hours AM, 2 hours PM) which is enough to cycle the water 2 times. PLEASE NOTE: I would recommend you take a smaller model if you have a 12-foot or even 15-foot pool, as mentioned above this was somewhat overkill but will be getting a larger pool next year. We have been hugely impressed with the cleaning capability. We have achieved water clarity where when you look at the bottom of your pool, you can't really tell there is water in-between. We could only achieve this after a few days with the Cartridge Pumps. In effect, with kids in and out of the pool you never really got it back to a crystal clear and hygienic state with Cartridge Filters. Setup is fairly straightforward, although if you are new to Sand Filters you need to be a little brave in going with the flow and looking at videos online to verify what you are doing. It is not as simple as getting started with the Filter Pumps, but once it's up and running it's much more hands-off. (e.g. cleaning via back-washing the sand every few weeks or when the pressure builds telling you it's time). A few items to note for people looking at Sand Filters for the first time: 1. They are not loud, but louder than Cartridge Pumps. 2. You need to buy the sand, and the RIGHT sand or you will have sand in your pool! You can use other types of media but I cannot comment on them as have not tried them. 3. You need to be close-ish to an outside socket - the 3,000 Gallon model pulls 450 WATTS an hour so no flimsy extension cords. It's also worth noting that they will cost (on average) more money to run. 4. When backwashing, you will use your pool's water which will then need to be replaced. The higher the power of the pump, the more water it will use. 5. The hoses supplied are larger and heavier, so tend to pull down on your inlet/outlet of Bestway pools. We have created a harness to support them and help them not create tension at the entry point. 6. This will need to be winterized once the season is over. That does mean taking the sand out, cleaning the unit, and storing it for the next season. 6. Same safety rules apply as Cartridge Filters - do not operate in the rain and do not operate when people are in the pool. There are not like public pumps/filters which have a lot more isolation protection between the pumps and the water. Our overall verdict was that this was fun to put together, produces superb pool clarity results, and should be something that lasts for a long time with proper care. If you like clear water, you should consider this for sure.
