Bestway sand filter pump 3,596 L/h

Thanks to this Bestway Flowclear sand filter pump, your pool stays wonderfully clean. So you can enjoy a fresh dip every time!🥽
The pool water is pumped through the filtration sand, this leaves the dirt behind in the sand and the clean water is pumped back to the pool. In addition to clean & clear water, the filtration pump also circulates the pool water allowing the added maintenance products (chlorine, pH...) to do their job better. This makes your maintenance products last longer. This is also advantageous for your wallet. The sand filter pump is therefore the most important part of the pool!

✅ Ensures clean pool water
✅ More powerful than a cartridge filter pump, removes small debris
✅ Fewer maintenance products needed
✅ With built-in chlorine dispenser
✅ Durable & rust-resistant filter tank
✅ Ideal for medium to large pools
✅ Choice of various reusable filter media (sand, filter balls, filter glass....)

This Flowclear sand filter pump has 6 functions (filter, backwash, rinse away, seal, drain & circulate) . So you can enjoy a clean pool carefree and effortless! This filter pump has a sand capacity of 8.5 kg. Do you use polysphere filter balls as filter media? Then you can put in 240 gr .

In addition, this filter also contains a built-in Chemconnect dispenser that evenly releases chlorine. This way the chlorine level is always maintained. The pre-filter sieve basket ensures that coarse debris, such as floating leaves and hair, are separated before filtration. This ensures a longer life of your sand filter pump & smooth cleaning.

Please note: this pump does not include filter sand!

For which pool is this filter pump suitable?
This sand filter pump is suitable for above ground pools from 1,100L to 16,600L.

Note: This pump is not suitable for pools larger than 16,600 liters. Before purchasing, check how large the volume of your pool is so you can purchase a pump with the best preparation, so the swimming season does not fall into the water 😉

What is the capacity of this sand filter pump?
This pump has a capacity (pump flow rate) of 3,596 L/h. Once you connect the pump to the pool, the pump will start cleaning the water. Because of the water flow, the pump will lose power. This is called the system flow rate and is 2,082 L/h. So the actual efficiency to filter the water is lower than the capacity of the filter pump. Keep this in mind when choosing an appropriate filter pump for the capacity of your pool and the accessories you want to connect to it. Would you like to connect a solar mat or vacuum cleaner? Then you need to make sure your filter pump is definitely powerful enough to drive these accessories! So be sure to compare the values of the pump flow rate & the system flow rate with each other.

How should you maintain the sand filter pump?
The advantage of this Krystal Clear sand filter pump is that it requires virtually no maintenance. The sand only needs to be replaced after 3 years. That in contrast to a cartridge filter pump where it is recommended to replace the cartridge biweekly.

Besides sand, you can also use other filter media to filter the water clean:
- Filter balls
- Filter glass

The 6 functions:
- Filter: normal and regular filtering of the pool water
- Backwash/backwash: for cleaning the filter media
- Backwash: leveling the sand bed after backwashing
- Shut off: shut off all water to filter & pool
- Drain: drain after backwashing or lowering the water level
- Circulate: circulate the water to the pool, without passing filter media

What is the difference between a cartridge filter pump & a sand filter pump?
A cartridge filter pump primarily holds back coarse dirt, while a sand filter pump purifies much more precisely. Sand filter pumps are therefore ideal for a (medium) sized pool! As mentioned above, a sand filter pump also requires much less maintenance!
