Thank you thank you thank you! I’ve been searching for the meaning of the symbols on the bestway system. It’s been so annoying to try and learn since last year when we got our pool and set it up. This was extremely helpful! Thanks again! So much!
hi i have the exact pump as yours and when i leave the lever on filter mode it drips water from port d does this happen to you ? and i dont use the cap because i have a hose attached to it
I’m getting air pumping into the pool. Not sure why. Tried rinsing and backwashing. It’s like it aerating. Could it be i need to add more sand? There is some loss during a rinse. I’m lost.
Thank you so much for.your videos!!! I was wondering about regular pool maintenance and running the filter. Do i need to run it around 5 hours everyday? Or what is your reccomendation? Also what about for winter storage, what are tips and steps for that?
Thank you this video helped a lot, in your option would I run the Re-circulate option while I am shocking the pool? It turned a nasty green and we are trying to clear it up.
I'm looking for the same answer. I've been shocking my pool with the regular "play button" filter setting. Wondering if it's better with the circulation setting for chemical treatment
Thanks, that’s better than the bestway video. I’ve discovered the off "X" setting is useful to prevent the silt leaking back into the pool when the pump is off. I use one of these on my home made spa.
Hello !! I hope this finds you well. Can the filter be used without the heating pad ? Unfortunately our box did not have the pad included and we cannot contact the manufacturer
Very helpful video. I have a small bit of waster leaking between the control piece & the tank. Checked the gasket / seal and it is good shape. Any ideas on how to resolve this ?
Hi! I just bought this pool. I installed it today and noticed when I started to add the water. 2hrs in. The sides started to bow inward. Is that normal?
Great video. We have had this pool for 4-5 years, and the pump finally went out... We're having a hard time finding specifications on the Bestway filter pump! Any help on finding are replacement unit (just the motor...) make/model would be much appreciated!
When you rinsed in the beginning you had the cap off to drain the water, but later after you backwashed you rinsed with the cap on. What is the difference in the two cases? Our initial startup is tomorrow. I’m not sure when doing the initial rinse after the backwash if the cap should be on.
Thank you thank you thank you. I was in the hospital last year when the pool was set up I had no idea what those insignias were for I've been pumping trash into my pool for a month.
We have the same pool and pump up here in Canada Dale. I see your handle is starting to look like mine. I built an inexpensive cover for mine out of some fence boards that I had on hand. Kept the back with some gaps between the boards for air flow. Waiting for Friday’s video. Cheers!
I just setup the new bestway Costco pool and the pool pump it came with says it shouldn’t go higher than 6.5 psi, but it’s at about 8.5. I have the solar heater it came with hooked up. Should I be worried about the psi being that high?
I’m new to this above pool thing and I’m having a hard time locating the cleaning mode on my filter? I bought it from someone else and I they didn’t give me the Manual to know how to used it. Can you please help me find the right filtration symbol on my filter to clean my pool? Thank you in advance.
@@JeepSolid As I’m setting up this week I have a slight leak where the control piece fits onto the sand tank. I’ve checked the gasket / seal and it seems fine. Any ideas ?
Just started using this Bestway filter, it seems to work fine, the water after few days got clear and was happy with the result. Few days later I noticed it spits some really dirt water after I start the pump which I do not think is normal. After 1 week of usage I decided to back wash it: Closed port A, put pump into the backwash position and turn it on. I let the water flow (it was really dirty) till it became clear, then set it to rinse, some more brown water came out. Once this was done, I set the pump to filter position, opened port A and turned it on... it and still blew some dirty water to the pool. Anyone has any ideas what could be wrong?
Can I run the pump with out the solar panel? I found a tear on the bottom of the solar panel also what can I use to patch it up? I tried flex seal patch and it’s still leaking!! Please help!!
@@MrViciousway Ok thanks couldn't find that info anywhere it was a small detail everyone left out you should make a video about it prob get a lot of views bcause no one has this info anywhere I ended up buying two 50lbs bags haha
Amazing, straight forward video 🙌 Everyone with one of these filters should definitely check it out.
Really helpful and straight forward! Thank you for this. My fiancé wants to have your children!

Thanks....very helpful!
Adding....go clock wise when dialing through the functions. Don't turn counter clockwise.
For longer life.
" HIEROGLYPHICS " LMFAO.
Haha! Yep

What people don’t know, Dale is mostly a pool video guy that dabbles in Jeeps 😉

Great job describing and clarifying the symbols for me! Thank you!
Did I do something wrong? I can barely feel anything pushing out into the pool? Meaning no clean water returning to the pool.
Thanks for the informational video on this filter! Looking at this owners manual made me feel so dumb 🙃
What can cause the filter to kick off, not tripping breaker, just turning the filter off

Hi! Following up for this answer - what did you two find? Is circulate a better option after shocking? Thanks!
My inlet are not doing anything but my outlet is working what did I do wtong
Oh my gosh, Thank you for this, There was NO info in manual on what the "Hieroglyphics" mean. You are a good teacher !!!
would be nice if you actually showed how to set the pump up by connecting the hoses, priming and such.
Thanks, that’s better than the bestway video. I’ve discovered the off "X" setting is useful to prevent the silt leaking back into the pool when the pump is off. I use one of these on my home made spa.
I had algae. I see it in the clear part of pump. How do i clean it??
Really helpful thank you very much.
So much better than the manufacturer videos.
You should be in commission!
Hello !! I hope this finds you well. Can the filter be used without the heating pad ? Unfortunately our box did not have the pad included and we cannot contact the manufacturer
Yes. Don’t have to use the solar heating pad
How is everyone sealing the lid on the filter?
No waters going in the pipe when I turn it on?
Is the motor replaceable ours stopped sounds like bearings or excess heat
Where do you live? I have a working filter. Doesn't have the hoses but starts up if your interested. Was left behind at a friend's rental property
Great video! Can I plug this pump into a standard 110 that is gfi protected? Is there anything else i need to do electrically?
Mine is on 110 Gfci and I’ve had no issues
Can I bypass the solar pad?
Can this be set up as a salt water pool?
Very helpful video. I have a small bit of waster leaking between the control piece & the tank. Checked the gasket / seal and it is good shape. Any ideas on how to resolve this ?
Check to make sure the gasket or O-ring is seated properly and the screws are tight.
What do you think about using an extension cord? Thanks! Your video was only one I found that was realistic!
Instructions say not to, but I use a heavy duty one
Watched, liked, and commented just to support.
See ya in the next jeep video.
Thanks!
What is the sand name
Can you put the pump to a timer? Is that ok? And if so I would have to leave the lever in Play mode correct?
I just bought and installed this pool/filter and wondering why the psi is higher than the recommended reading? Any insight will be appreciated
Hi! I just bought this pool. I installed it today and noticed when I started to add the water. 2hrs in. The sides started to bow inward. Is that normal?
is there anyway to not use/connect the black solar pad? its very hot where i live and is not needed but how to i cap off that hole in the pool??
Thank you ! they never let instruction with the pool.
Great video. We have had this pool for 4-5 years, and the pump finally went out... We're having a hard time finding specifications on the Bestway filter pump! Any help on finding are replacement unit (just the motor...) make/model would be much appreciated!
You are worth your weight in gold, friend!!
When you rinsed in the beginning you had the cap off to drain the water, but later after you backwashed you rinsed with the cap on. What is the difference in the two cases? Our initial startup is tomorrow. I’m not sure when doing the initial rinse after the backwash if the cap should be on.
Can you back wash whilst it's still connected to the pool
Thank you thank you thank you.
I was in the hospital last year when the pool was set up I had no idea what those insignias were for I've been pumping trash into my pool for a month.
Your pool videos have been a lifesaver! Thank you so much!!
Thank you for this!! Can you do a review/video on the cover?!
Mala no, lo siguiente. No he visto nunca producto tan malo.
What should the psi read when the pump is on?
Thanks mate, really well explained.

Is it supposed to spit sand in the pool no right
very helpful video, thank-you
I just setup the new bestway Costco pool and the pool pump it came with says it shouldn’t go higher than 6.5 psi, but it’s at about 8.5. I have the solar heater it came with hooked up. Should I be worried about the psi being that high?
Did you ever figure out how to lower the PSI?
I’m new to this above pool thing and I’m having a hard time locating the cleaning mode on my filter? I bought it from someone else and I they didn’t give me the Manual to know how to used it.
Can you please help me find the right filtration symbol on my filter to clean my pool? Thank you in advance.
Did you see the symbols I go over in the video? Are any of yours like that?
your pump is hard leaking
Thanks man very helpful
Very helpful! Thank you.
What setting do we use for vacuuming the pool?
I have a video on the pool vacuum where I go over the settings for that.
Very helpful thx !
Is the pump ok to leave outside in rainy day?
Yes! Ours is left out all summer in the elements
Do you have to use sand ?
What if u don't want o use the solar pad
You can hook return straight to return port
I assume you drain the pool during winter... Not something we have to deal with here in FL... If so, that could get pricey...
Yeah. I drain it in winter 👍🏼
@@JeepSolid As I’m setting up this week I have a slight leak where the control piece fits onto the sand tank. I’ve checked the gasket / seal and it seems fine. Any ideas ?

Is it possible that there is too much sand in the filter & that is what you see going into the pool?
I have the same problem,I am going to use those fiber balls that way their will be no sand flowing back in
Can I run the pump with out the solar panel? I found a tear on the bottom of the solar panel also what can I use to patch it up? I tried flex seal patch and it’s still leaking!! Please help!!
You can use it without
how many pounds of sand fits in there trying to order some but cant find out if I need just one 50 lbs or a few bags of sand
In case you haven't yet, just a regular 50lb bag should be fine.
@@MrViciousway Ok thanks couldn't find that info anywhere it was a small detail everyone left out you should make a video about it prob get a lot of views bcause no one has this info anywhere I ended up buying two 50lbs bags haha
Thank you.
help.. I can't feel any flow at all..
Were you able to rectify this? I also cannot feel any flow...meaning nothing returning to the pool.
How much sand does the filter need. I am setting up this week and have no idea how much sand to buy.
I bought an 188kg bag for my set up this week
@@ohcanada3895 thank you!!!
@@nancyzagar I’m so sorry for the typo 18kg bag not 188kg I apologize
@@ohcanada3895 good to know!!! Lol.
I thought that was a ridiculous amount and hoped the 50 lb bag i bought was enough!
@@nancyzagar yes you will have lots.
What is the exact make and model of your pump? Our pump went out and we need a replacement ASAP
Well alright then
Haha 😆 yep!
Thx u
