IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
- TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
- 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.
- 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, 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 it.
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 THE CORD. Locate cord to minimize abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and other equipment.
- To reduce the risk of electric shock, IF the FILTER PUMP POWER CORD BECOMES DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, THE PUMP MUST BE DISCARDED.
- To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use an 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 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.
- 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.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK: When working with electricity, turn the electrical power off at the circuit breaker and lock the breaker door. Failure to do so will result in an increased risk of shock, injury, and possibly death.
- DO NOT REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG OR MODIFY THE PLUG IN ANY WAY. DO NOT
- USE ADAPTOR PLUGS. Consult a qualified electrician for any questions related to the validity of your plugs grounding. Handle the pump with care. Do not pull or carry the pump by the power cord.
- Never pull a plug from the outlet by yanking the power cord. Keep cord free from abrasions. Sharp objects, oil, moving parts, and heat should never be exposed to the filter pump.
NOTE
- Please examine equipment before use. Notify Bestway at the customer service address listed on this manual for any manufacturing defect or missing parts at the time of purchase.
- Verify that the equipment components represent the filter pump model that you had intended to purchase.
- Place pump on a solid and level ground. Pay attention to the position of the pool and pump so adequate ventilation, drainage, and access for cleaning is available. Never place pump in an area that may accumulate water, or in an area where foot traffic will flow around the pool.
- Atmospheric conditions may affect the performance and life span of your filter pump.
- Unnecessary wear and tear may occur during periods of cold, heat and exposure to sun. Whenever possible shelter the pump from these conditions.
- Do not add chemicals in the filter pump.
- Assembly and disassembly of this product should only be performed by adults.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PEDESTAL FIXING
The filter pump must be vertically fixed on ground or a certain pedestal made of wood or concrete before use. There should be two holes 9mm in diameter on the pedestal, the space between which should be 127mm. Put the filter pump on the pedestal and fix them together by fasten the bolts and nuts. All the pedestal parts should weigh over 18kgs at least to prevent the pump from accidentally falling.
NOTE: It is important to ensure all elements: Hoses, Debris Screens and Inlet/Outlet Valves are properly aligned.
OPERATION
-
Open/unscrew the Air Purge Valve on the top of the Filter Pump; air is released as water fills the Filter Pump.
NOTE: If the knob should become dislodged, simply place it back into the hole and turn clockwise to rethread air purge valve. -
When water comes out of the Air Purge Valve screw it closed and wipe away any water.
-
Test the GFCI plug.
NOTE: It is imperative to check that the hydraulic connectors are not closed.
GFCI TEST
Each LED indicator represents 2 hours of working time. You can push the Set Working Hours Button to adjust the desired time.
IMPORTANT
- After setting the run time, the pump will restart automatically at the same time the following day.
- In case of a power outage or the GFCI being unplugged, the running time of the product will be reset to a 10-hour default and the previous set will be deleted.
- After finishing the working time, the GFCI goes into standby mode. During this time, all LED indicators will be off.
- Pushing the test button on the GFCI does not stop the timer. To stop the timer, you have to unplug the GFCI.
PUMP MAINTENANCE
