U have a timer on this pool pump? I always have to hit the reset button the next day to restart pump with the timer i have. Wonder if i should get new timer. Anyone else have this issue?
will this work on our bestway/coleman powersteel 18ft, 6700 gal....? the pump that came with it just is not doing the job moving the water...keep getting green, even keeping the chlorine in check and all...
I have the same pump and for some reason it does not push out very good pressure :( I’ve backwashed and tried everything I can go get any air out. I’m at a loss.
Hi i have Intex 488x122 and they gave Me random filter system so i need buy sand filter system or no? Couse i think sand filter is 10x more better than random filter.
Yes to make sure the sand is even and to the line, did you see the video? if you need more info I have another video of a index filter that is similar to this take a look at it and see if this helps.
Add some water to the tank before adding sand. It helps absorb the shock of the weight of the sand on top of the spider web thing in the bottom of the tank. And be sure to use the cover thing that comes with the filter to keep sand out of the center tube.
Sir i have a question does this sand filter also drains the water of the pool ? Completely or it doesn't like there will be remaining like 10% water remaining And while u r using it how often do u need to drain water from pool and refill it again??
anyone else having problems with water coming out the sides of the pump - where the bolts are? i tried to tighten as much as i can but water still come out
@@Upgradetech I got a few questions so do I have to leave the filter plugged in the whole time while we use the pool???and do I have to worry about the kid getting it wet while they play in the pool
@@bluejays23 no worries I keep mine on all the time not a danger only a tripping hazer on the outside. I keep myself on all the time the kids are in the pool to filter dirt and any loose particles kids bring with dirty feet and dead skin.
Sure, no problem you can find my email in the about section. Or you can also contact Bestway they are located in AZ and also have great support but whatever I can help.
I bought this Bestway pool with that pump and had a defected pump was a headache to get another one from them. But awesome video because the instructions suck!
@@debsmith2015 Did you buy pool filter sand? And did you use the rinse setting at your first startup? You must rinse the sand then use the setting that levels the sand before setting the pump on filter.
@@fixvisit2381I just bought this filter with our new pool. I have the cotton balls. I have no clue about this pump. Or how often to clean them? Also, if there are filter balls, do we still do backwashing or filter to waste? Because we have to wash the filter balls? I believe

U have a timer on this pool pump? I always have to hit the reset button the next day to restart pump with the timer i have. Wonder if i should get new timer. Anyone else have this issue?
I couldn't see u use a skimmer? Why? And another question is how do you clean the debris at the bottom? Thanks in advance
Would you recommend the Bestway or Intex Krystal clear pump? And which one is noisier? Thanks :)
What did you think about the suction with this filter? You ever notice it?
Where did you get the long backwash hose and adaptor from? Thanks for your help!
Jag har fått grönt i Poolen dålig pump jag har tror jag jag tänkte köpa sån pump eller dammsugare till Poolen få upp de vad hade ni rekommenderar
My connection A to the pool will not stop leaking no matter what i do! Help!!!
will this work on our bestway/coleman powersteel 18ft, 6700 gal....? the pump that came with it just is not doing the job moving the water...keep getting green, even keeping the chlorine in check and all...
Yes, but you might need to check the size of the hole.
I have the same pump and for some reason it does not push out very good pressure :( I’ve backwashed and tried everything I can go get any air out. I’m at a loss.
What you pressure gage at?
I have a million dollar question… I run the pump in the nights, when I power off the filter do I need to switch it to off position Everytime?
If you have additional power timers you don't have to, but if you do you would have to manual hit the reset button.
Can you use this filter on summer waves pool please?
Hi i have Intex 488x122 and they gave Me random filter system so i need buy sand filter system or no? Couse i think sand filter is 10x more better than random filter.
The unit I reviews you do need sand to make it work or you not filtering correctly
should I chemically treat the pool before hooking up? Or can I as the filter is running?
You can add chemicals while the system is on, I do this without a problem.
Best Video EVER!!!
Can I have a part number for that tee that you’re using
How many gallons is your pool?
Tips to set the pump up on a timer?
Can you link that extra long hose for us ?? Id love to be able to back wash further from the house.
Yes you can I did this just for the backwash because I wanted to control the water run off.
what happened to your other pump? is this a new upgrade from the 10"
I own both my give it away
What is the pressure suppose to be at for good filtration ?
for good cleaning using the water passing through the san and pushing water through from one end to another.
Manual says less than 8psi
Do you run this pump 24 hours a day? I set mine up and it only lasted a month before it burnt up?
Other video I saw the guy only did it 3 hours a day. Maybe 4 if pool was being heavily used.
I run mine during the day an average of 8 hrs.
Whenever I turn the pump back on after backwashing and rinsing it shoots REALLY dirty water back into the pool. 😫 HELP.
Review your connection
Make sure you turn the pump off when changing setting. And always rotate the handle in a clockwise direction. Always.
I can’t get my flange clamp to fit over both lips of the sand chamber
Me too..was you able to close it yet?
i had a lot of problems too- needed to use clamps to squeeze it together and it still leaka!
I have everything connected but when I turn it on it leaks out the sides of the ring at the top of the sand tank? What is the cause?
Maybe the gasket was never properly seated before it was tightened
Do you have rubber gaskets installed at all connections?
Where do the cotton balls go? Our filter came with cotton balls.
Where did you get the fitting for the A connection?
I would like to know too ? Mines didn’t come with that
Mine didn't come with the connection either
Do you have to water to the sand? Or can I just put the sand?
Yes to make sure the sand is even and to the line, did you see the video? if you need more info I have another video of a index filter that is similar to this take a look at it and see if this helps.
I want to know too… my pump the sand is filled to the max line.. so how much water do i add to the sand ?
Add some water to the tank before adding sand. It helps absorb the shock of the weight of the sand on top of the spider web thing in the bottom of the tank. And be sure to use the cover thing that comes with the filter to keep sand out of the center tube.
How do you get the dirt on the bottom of the pool?
Vacuum.

You can drain the water with the backwash but not recommended
Do you cap D on the filter?
Yes

If I don't have a outlet close enough can I use a extension cord??
Yes but make sure it's a heavy use it can't be a regular home version because I had issues with the breaker
@@Upgradetech thank u
@@Upgradetech can I run the filter system while the kids swim???
@@bluejays23 yes
@@Upgradetech thank u bro

Clamp may not be installed correctly, it has to be just right.

How many lbs of sand did you put on the pump

Hi, is there anyway we can contact you/zoom? No matter what we do, the everflow pump leaks water out

What is the pressure suppose to be?
Manual says to backwash/clean the sand if it gets over 8psi
I can’t figure why I have air bubbles can u help
Check the seals and do a back wash
Do i need to put those black plugs in everytime i check the bucket?
Yes you need the plugs
I bought this Bestway pool with that pump and had a defected pump was a headache to get another one from them. But awesome video because the instructions suck!
Did you have to purchase the sand or was it included?
Sand wan not included you can buy it a hardware store or pool stores.
How much ruby sand do I need for this?
About two bags
How many lbs is the sand bag?
50lb
I can't get the seal on the sand filter to stop leaking
Me too, any advice on how to get the leakage to stop please 🙏
I had to take mine apart and reset the bands

Had to take it apart and redo.
Had to take it apart and redo.
What is the way to configure the pump to connect the vacuum?
Buy this one it works awesome. Flowclear AquaReach. It is cordlesss rechargeable. I love it.
I rung the bell
Where did you get the sand from
Any hardware store that has pool stuff, Bestway or Amazon.
Any place that sales Dirt usually sells sand. If not go to Lowe’s
Rural King, Lowes, Home Depot. Maybe Walmart. Or a pool store like valley pools and spas.
how is the noise?
Not loud after 10 feet away but it is loud similar as a washing machine noise.
How do I backwash?
Add a holes and look for the arrow on the top of the controller
@@Upgradetech which arrow?
What kind of sand did u use
I had a grey film in bottom of pool I thought was dirt but it was sand from pool what kind of sand did you use
@@debsmith2015 Did you buy pool filter sand? And did you use the rinse setting at your first startup? You must rinse the sand then use the setting that levels the sand before setting the pump on filter.
Bro is all over the place. I think i will just read the directions
OK Bro
But his ADHD matches mine lol
Still gave him the 1 view so he ain't worried 🤣✋🏼
I use glass instead of sand. It last almost forever and is filtering smaller particles 🙂
😊
What type of glass
The best is AFM but I just use the glass from swim and fun. It's cheaper and in my experience it works fine 😊
Thank You, I'll check and see if one of our stores carry it
This video is awesome but you made me so nervous when u busted out your impact tightening it down
Sorry didn't need to use this but for the sake of the fast video.
Sending you an email to see if you can help, thanks!!!
Can't hear anything
Where do you put the filter cotton balls?
Those are a substitute for the sand just not as good
Same container, instead of sand. Very easy and smart. We had a cleen pool all summer.
