Water Chemistry”
- Use a pool cover when the pool is not in use and/or when the unit isoperating
- Increase the operating time per day. See “Operation Instructions ”
- Inspect the cell and clean it if necessary. Refer to Maintenance part.
- Drain about 20 to 25% of the pool Water and add fresh water to
decrease the calcium hardness. Visually inspect the electrolytic cell
for scale buildup and clean the electrolytic cell if necessary
- Check if the power cord is loose or not connected properly

1. On-off Button
This button turns the chlorinator on and off.
IMPORTANT:
Before starting the Flowclear Chlorinator follow
the steps below:
Step 1: First start the filter pump/sand filter pump.
Step 2: After chlorinator connect with power outlet, LED light
above switch button shows red. If the LED light shows green
or green with twinkle,press switch button make the LED light
turns red.
Step 3: Press the on/off button for 5 seconds then release,
after release the Chlorinator will emit three long beeps.
Step 4: on/off button remain red and the chlorinator will be
ready to use.
Step 5: Wait for 1 minute.
Step 6: Push the on/off button the led above become green
and the chlorinator will begin to work. Follow the instruction
point 2 for the time adjustment button.
NOTE:
If after step 6, from the LED above the on/off button
flashes green, repeat the operation again starting from step 2
NOTE:
When the LED on/off button is flashing green and all
other LED sare off, it means the chlorinatoris in stand-by
mode. The chlorinator goes into stand-by mode after the
operation time is completed.
2. Time Adjustment Bottons
Press and hold together the and buttons for less than
one second to lock/unlock the keypad. When the keypad is
unlocked, the operating time LED indicators will flash; when
the keypad is locked the LED indicator will stop flashing.
Press the button to increase the operating time 2 hours
Press the button to decrease the operating time 2 hours
NOTE:
The unit will automatically lock after no instructions for
5 seconds.
IMPORTANT:
When the operating time is set, to change the
operation time, follow the below instructions:
- Push the on/off button for less than one second and the LED
will become red
- Follow the instructions in point 1 “on-off button” from step 3
3. Operating Time LED Indicators
The green lights show the remaining hours in the daily
operating cycle.
4. Double Time Button
Pressing this button will double the working time shown on the
operating time LED, the LED above will light up if in double
mode.
5. Flow Status LED Indicator
Green
light indicates there is sufficient water flow turns to
produce chlorine.
Red
light indicates insufficient water flow, no chlorine will be
produced.
Note:
An alarm, with beeping and a red flashing light,
indicating the insufficient water flow will continue for 5
minutes.
After the 5 minutes, the light will continue flashing, however
the beeping will stop.
After 30 minutes, all lights will turn off
To restart the entire system, press the on/off button for no
more than 1 second
6. Salt Level Status LED Indicators
These LED lights indicate the salt level in the pool water.
Red: High.
The salt level is too high, no chlorine is produced,
salt needs to be removed from the pool water.
Green: Good.
The salt level is optimum, and chlorine is being
produced.
Yellow: Low
. The salt level is too low, no chlorine is
produced, need to add salt to the pool water.
Note:
An alarm, with beeping and a red/yellow flashing light,
indicating the high/low salt level will continue for 5 minutes.
After the 5 minutes, the light will continue flashing, however
the beeping will stop.
After 30 minutes, all lights will turn off
To restart the entire system, press the on/off button for no
more than 1 second
NOTE:
Refer to the Pool Salt Usage section for salt
1. Unplug the electrolytic cell line cord. Unscrew the lock nut of
the flow sensor counter-clockwise and disconnect the flow
sensor signal line from the flow sensor. Then screw out the
four screws and put aside the electrolytic cell. (See Fig.1)
2. The mounting holes are 6.4mm in diameter and spaced
180mm apart. Use two bolts and lock nuts with a maximum of
6.4mm in diameter. Then reinstall the electrolytic cell and other
parts. (See Fig.2)
NOTE:
The total assembly must exceed 18kg.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: You must ensure the chlorinator is unplugged
before any maintenance begins or severe risk of injury or
death exists.
Flow Sensor Cleaning
1. Unscrew the lock nut of the flow sensor, disconnect the signal
line, and remove them from flow sensor.
2. Clean the deposits and debris on the surface of the flow
sensor with a garden hose. (use a plastic brush if necessary,
but never a metal one) (See Fig. 3)
3. Reinstall the flow sensor signal line, and the lock nut.
NOTE:
Do not over tighten.
STORAGE
1. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
2. After all water is drained from the pool, disconnect the
chlorinator from the hoses.
3. Air-dry the chlorinator before storage. It is recommended to
visually inspect and clean the electrolytic cell at this time.
4. It is recommended you store the chlorinator in its original
package in a warm dry place.

TEST STRIPS (Included in The Package)
Test Strips can test the “Free Chlorine”, “pH” and “Total Alkalinity”
levels at the same time. Use as follows.
1. Dip one strip into water, no more than 46cm (18”) below the
water surface and remove immediately.
2. Hold strip level for 15 seconds to avoid reactant dripping from
one test pad to another.
NOTE:
Do not shake off excess water.
3. Compare results immediately, lining up the 3 test pads to the
easy color match chart on the bottle.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Bestway strives to provide the best trouble-free chlorinator on
the market. If you experience any problems, do not hesitate to
contact your authorized dealer or us.
Here are some helpful tips to help you to diagnose and rectify
common sources of trouble.
Electrolytic Cell Cleaning
To extend the life and performance of the electrolytic cells, it is
recommended to inspect it every
3 months
and clean it if
necessary. Follow the cleaning instructions below.
concentration adjustment.
NOTE:
When the chlorinating cycle ends, only the LED above
the On-off button displays green flashing. The chlorinator will go
into a standby mode, and will turn itself back on in 24 hours to
continue its daily chlorine production.
IMPORTANT:
Never use the pool if chlorine level is more
than 3ppm. Do not operate the chlorinator while the pool is
in use or occupied.
• Always use a test trip to test the chlorine level before entering
or using the pool. If the chlorine level is too high, wait until the
chlorine level drops below 3ppm before using the pool or
operating the chlorinator.
• Heavy pool usage and higher temperatures may require higher
chlorine output (longer operating time) to maintain proper free
available chlorine residuals.
• If a power outage occurs or the power cord is unplugged for
more than 48 hours, then the chlorinator operating time will
have to be reset.
NOTE: LED indicater will not off under sleep mode if it has
been turned in before.
CHLORINATOR STATIONARY MOUNTING (OPTION)
Chlorinators are required to stay in a permanent upright position
according to the regulations in some areas. In this case, mount
the product to a platform as shown in the drawings.
1. Turn off the chlorinator and unplug the power cord from the
electrical outlet.
2. Remove the debris screens from the inside of the pool and
insert the stopper plugs in the pool’s inlet and outlet valves or
close the connection valves.
3. Remove all other components connected to the electrolytic
cell and separate it from the chlorinator.
4. Look inside the electrolytic cell to inspect for scale formation
(light colored crusty or flaky deposits). If yes, go to step 5,
otherwise, go to step 6. (See Fig. 4)
5. Try to flush the deposits and debris with high a pressure
garden hose. Soak the cell in a vinegar solution for 2-3 hours if
flushing does not work.
6. Reinstall the electrolytic cell (Reset the operating time)
NOTE:
Do not use any metal tools, they may scratch the coating
off the plates.
NOTE:
A buildup on the cell indicates that there is an unusually
high calcium level in the pool. If this is not corrected, you have to
frequently check and clean the cell. To avoid this, always keep
your pool chemistry at the recommended levels. See “Pool Water
Chemistry” for reference.
