SAND FILTER

OWNER’S MANUAL

 

WARNING

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.

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.

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, replace damaged cord 

immediately.

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.

Please examine and verify all sand filter components are present before use. Notify 

Bestway at the customer service address listed on this manual for any damaged or 

missing parts at the time of purchase.
