Information

Do I need to add chemical products when using the Chlorinator? Close Me

When using the Chlorinator, it is generally not necessary to add other chemical products. This device is capable of producing enough chlorine to eliminate bacteria and algae in the water. However, you may need to use pH corrector (pH+ and pH-) depending on the water's hardness. To optimize the use of the Chlorinator, always follow the instructions provided in the manual.

Is it possible to use a timer with my chlorinator? Close Me

Adding a timer is not necessary. Bestway chlorinator comes with a built-in timer that can be set to work from 1 up to 10 hours.

What causes my guarantee to break? Close Me

The legal warranty doesn’t cover damages due to actions not assignable to the seller/manufacturer, to improper or not normal use of the product by the consumer, or to actions contrary to warnings or instructions written in the user’s manual.

What does it mean when the display shows 00? Close Me

At the end of the cycle, the display shows "00". At this time, the chlorinator will automatically enter the standby mode.

What type of salt should I use? Close Me

Use only sodium chloride (NaCl) that is at least 99.8% pure. It is also acceptable to use water conditioning salt pellets (the compressed forms of evaporated salt), but it will take a longer time to dissolve. The purer the salt, the better the life and performance of the chlorinator. Do not use iodized or yellow (yellow prussiate of soda) colored salt. For further details, please consult your salt supplier. IMPORTANT: The Recommended Pool Working Time Set table in the manual is based on the use of 99.8% purity of sodium chloride (NaCl). The working time may vary when using sodium chloride of lower purity.

When using the Bestway Flowclear chlorinator after testing the water quality, why is there an insufficient quantity of chlorine? Close Me

To have the necessary quantity of chlorine in the water, follow these instructions: 1. Use the cover when the chlorinator is in use to avoid the evaporation of the chlorine. 2. Increase the operation time. 3. Check the electrolytic cell and clean if necessary. See the FAQ on how to clean the electrolytic cell in Bestway Flowclear chlorinator.

Maintenance

In order to guarantee the best performance of the product, clean the electrolytic cell. We recommend opening and checking the electrolytic cell every month. Follow the below steps: - Unplug the Chlorinator. - Put the stopper plug/close the connection valve to stop the water flow. - Unscrew the 2 gears positioned on the top of the electrolytic cell. - Disconnect the plug on the top of the electrolytic cell. - Pull the electrolytic cell out. - Submerge the electrolytic cell in a solution of 50% water/50% vinegar for 3 hours or check with your pool dealer the suitable chemical product. Be sure to avoid chemical product that can damage the Titanium plate. - Clean the electrolytic cell with tap water.

How do I use the Bestway® Test Strips? Close Me

Test Strips test “Free Chlorine”, “pH” and “Total Alkalinity” levels. 1. Dip one strip into water, no more than 46 cm (18”) below the water surface and remove it immediately. 2. Hold the 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 by lining up the 3 test pads to the easy color match chart on the bottle.

How much salt should I add in my pool the first time I set it up and when I change the water ? Close Me

The optimum salt level in the pool water is 3,000ppm ( 3g/L ); you can find the specifications in the Owner’s Manual.

Is it necessary to add salt during the usage period after having added the initial quantity? Close Me

It is not necessary to add more salt if you have already added the specified amount. Salt loss is only due to physical removal of pool water. Salt cannot be lost due to evaporation. The only time you need to add salt is when the level of chlorine tested by the BESTWAY test strips is below 2ppm and the operating time is as stated in Table 2 and Table 5 in the Flowclear Chlorinator Owner’s Manual.

Why is the LED above the on/off button displaying red in the Flowclear chlorinator ? Close Me

When the LED above the on/off button becomes red, this means that the chlorinator is in power saving mode. Press any button to view the status of the LED lights.
