Great video as I’m trying to teach someone steps on hose and operation. I have had Intex pools and these bestway pools with pumps filters make it user friendly but they leave out operating steps. Thanks to videos like yours. Warning when these pumps n filters go, but a larger sand filter and 1 to 2 HP motors like real pools. They operate the same but you won’t regret. Green to clear in a day or two. Enjoy
This solar heater really absorbers a lot of solar energy. With 500gal/hr pump, water temperature at the pump output can be 2-3 degree higher than that at the input.
So I bought one of these pools at Costco and then spent $500 on sand to level the ground and fallowed every bit of the instructions including the talc powder to set it up. It looked beautiful after filling it. I ordered the starter kit directly from Bestway. We went out for the day came back and the backyard was 5 inches deep in water and half the water in the pool was gone. We haven’t even gotten to swim yet. I couldn’t imagine what was wrong. I was worried because the electricity from the pump and it was there that most of the water was. I couldn’t figure it out. But I finally saw part of the seam on the underside of the solar heater is not sealed. It’s defective. I have tried requesting a call back from Bestway as the paper in the box says “do not return to store, call us first.” This is not working out to well. I am not sure what to do besides take down the whole thing and return it and then Im out $700 for all the supplies I bought and that’s not counting how much my water bill will be. I would hope they would at least reply. If they just help by exchanging the solar heater everything would be great. Bestway please help!!! Im trying to do as the instructions ask me to do.
The water is coming out of the filter fast because it is water coming from the pool. So, you need to use the 2 small black rubber plugs that came with the pool. Reach inside the pool and remove the two gray filters and put the rubber plugs in place. That will hold the water back. Now try taking the lid off the skimmer and you shouldn't have any water coming through it all and you can easily clean out the skimmer.
Need to clean out the trap. Have a skimmer that didn't come with a shut off valve. Means I need to drop many hundreds of liters of water just to prevent a flood in my pool area. BESTWAY would you please give me a solution for this?
When you removed the filter lid did water come out fast? If so that of course makes it very hard to put the lid back on correctly.

Does this work for all best way pools? I have a best way 18ft length by 9 ft wide . 4 ft deep. I want to buy the sand filter how would a buy one that is adequate and is the best one that fits. Do you have a link for one that would fit?

Buonasera vorrei fare una domanda è normale che la pressione sia a 4 bar su una pompa da 8mila litri? se non dovesse andare bene cosa devo fare? Grazie mille
Biggest regret of my life buying a bestway pool, your instructions couldn’t possibly be any worse. My advice is the same I gave my toddler “use your words!!!” These musicals are a disgrace
They don’t, I tried to contact them but horrible costumer service, they sent the wrong pump and no hoses and had the audacity to say I broke the pool when all I asked was to send the right pump( sand pump, not the cartridge they sent) and the hoses, all that was shown on the box. I ended buying the pump on my own for almost $300!!! Will never buy from them again!

Did you ever get this resolved?
@@Breitling5150 no they didn’t do anything and it would have been a lot to return so I ended up having to buy another solar heater. Too bad.
Can I ask a silly question? A Bestway filter and pump will work on an Intex pool? The fittings are supplied with adapters? Thank you!
I closed the pump and took out the skimmer and the water poured out thanks for the info
On what setting do you vaccum?????
How did you open the basket and not have a ton of water coming out?
There is black plugs to place into the intakes on the holes of the pool

you do really. How do you have evidence of capacity?

Can you use beach sand?
My filter lid doesn't sit flush so i can't get the screw down on. What do I do then?

I need the cap and it has been out of stock for months now.
Do you need to add some chemicals to the cleaning system.
Good photos, detail is still needed.
Can uou tell me what sand you used please?😊
Required sand size: #20 silica sand
How come orange handle lays tight flat on each adjusting. Mine don’t do that
Mine didn’t come with sand, am I supposed to buy that separate?
Yes
Hardware stores have pool sand
Yes

me too
I’m missing some me attachments
This is the best video I’ve seen all the others leave out a lot of details.. thank you so much very helpful!!
Mine is blowing water out the top. I just installed it yesterday. What is going on? Y is it doing this?
Do you have to to the initial 3-5 mins and 1 min things if you use filterballs insted of sand ?
Any advice on the filter balls? I just got mine
Same here!
Does anyone know the response to this?
@@crystalcook2544just use sand
Buongiorno avrei una domanda da fare , io jo una pompa bestwey da 8mila litri h come mai mi rimane sempre si 4 bar? Ho lavato la sabbia pollino tutto ma rimane 4 bar e giusto?
What if I filled my poop filter with water and need to add sand ?
lol is there a reason they put the round screw thing on top of the filter and then the next clip it shows them putting it together with it off smh
when i try cleaning out the basket, i stop the pump and turn to close but when i remove the top water still comes out fast. do i need to close the hose that shoots back into the pool?
Yes
@@ashleylewis1849 how do you do that? Do I need to unscrew the filters on the pull?

Very good! Shame about the music though 😩
Turn d Eddie reduu

@@littlelions5358 ?

You forgot the part where you're supposed to bolt it to something solid

One of the best videos and simple
They don't send all the pieces that you need for the pump to work. They never respond. They don't care.
mine didn’t either
Where did u purchase yours at ? I was thinking of getting one until seeing your comment
@@gigisand0 Which state or website did u purchase yours from ?
@@bonnieblancho7381 i got mine from costco. i realized that they changed the design of the filter 🤷🏽♀️
They don’t, I tried to contact them but horrible costumer service, they sent the wrong pump and no hoses and had the audacity to say I broke the pool when all I asked was to send the right pump( sand pump, not the cartridge they sent) and the hoses, all that was shown on the box.

You should have just filmed this in the dark. Then I wouldn’t have even tried.
This video does not coincide with the new Bestway pumps. All kinds of pieces they don’t have on the new ones.
Such as...
Such as the orange gear that appears to be a temporizer, it's no longer in the new pumps
Speak!
Worst music ever. Sounds like a torture chamber!
Ggf
Utilità video pari a zerooooo
Not a good video, if I wanted to listen to music, I would go to VEVO, I wanted to learn something so you need to talk it up a little
this is confusing
Mine is leaking from the orange handle. How do you fix that?
