CLEAN, HEALTHY WATER: Our filter comes with the ChemConnect Dispenser, which maintains gentle and skin-friendly water by providing a stable level of chlorine that is evenly dispersed throughout the entire pool. The point of having a filter pump is to keep the water sparkling and clean. And as well as the usual dirt and debris, this includes green algae. Algae grow more in warm temperatures and sunshine, so it makes sense to run it more in the summertime. This is normally caused either by the pool not being set up on flat level ground or someone standing or leaning on the frame of the pool. We would suggest moving the pool to a more suitable location. We would also advise that you do not stand on the frame of the pool, the ladder must be used for entering and exiting the pool. This type of damage is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty so you may need to replace parts. In my review, this Bestway Flowclear Sand Filter System is different from the other pool filter pumps in that its filtration system uses quartz sand, or you can use fibre filter balls instead. The advantage of this is that you have to replace the sand every few (three) years and not every few weeks like you do the paper filters in the smaller standard filter pumps.

Whatever the size of your above ground pool, this Bestway Flowclear Sand Filter System with the ChemConnect keeps it clean and healthy. While the pre-screen takes out the large debris, the sand or filter balls deal with the rest of the physical impurities, and the chlorine tables you have in the ChemConnect handle bacteria. Punctures are not covered by the warranty line, however, you should be able to mend a puncture with a repair patch Leaking Water – Split Seam I put the filter together and it has been running perfectly for about 3 weeks. No leaks or problems.

Seventh step: fill the bottom part with the new sand until it reaches the mark between low and high marked on the hub. Fifth step: open the metal ring in the middle of the tank body and open the upper part of the tank. Sixth step: take out all old sand from the tank and rinse the bottom part with a garden hose to be sure it is clean. Mould can occur if the pool is not completely dry when folded or put away. Humidity and dampness can cause mould to grow due to stagnant water. Ride-on toys are designed to promote independence in your child, from the early stages where you help them balance and push the toy along to the time where they’re ready to operate it themselves. It’s a great way to develop their self-confidence and get them to use their balance and coordination skills. Our ride-on toys for kids are also great for promoting physical exercise and improving essential motor skills; they’ll also keep you on your toes as you race to catch up!

Alternatively, and much lighter in weight than the sand, is an equivalent volume of Polysphere filter/media balls. These are small spheres made of 100% polyethylene (a plastic) and provide high filtration for water and other liquids. They’re reusable and renewable. You can clean them by hosing them down. To replace 25kg of filter sand, you need just 700g of these filter balls, so the 9kg of sand equivalent is even less than this.A couple of things I always recommend. First, you still need to add chlorine to the water, or it will turn green. The filter removes debris, not algae. The easiest way to do this is by adding a chlorine tablet to a floating surface dispenser. Some pool filter pumps such as this Bestway Flowclear Sand Filter System with ChemConnect, allow you to add chlorine tablets to the filter system. Over exposure to sunlight can cause the top ring to expand and become deformed. The fast set pools should not be placed in direct sunlight, unfortunately, this is not covered under the warranty.

This is my second unit. The first one lasted quite a few years, sitting out in the sun and weather. And with me using it. LOL. Selector valve became a little leaky and hard to turn recently. But I did not always turn it off before switching gears. (I will with this one.) Plastic is just beginning to look sun-baked on the old one, connectors were loosing their 'smooth'. Needed o-rings, a new pressure gauge, a new safety plug, a few connectors, some new hoses. Just got it all, in a new unit. A new feature to the sand filter is the ChemConnect™ Dispenser which maintains and provides clean, healthy pool water. The dispenser release provides a stable level of chlorine needed for proper chemical balance. Products such as washing detergent, moisturiser, deodorant, make-up, sun lotion or fake tan can cause discolouration. We would suggest showering before using the pool to avoid this. If the problem does occur you can use washing up liquid, stain remover or miracle pads to remove stains or marks. Nearly forgot, it also includes attachments to ensure it fits on different pools if they have different size inlet and outlet pipes. Pros

You can work out the number of hours (hr) it takes to clean all the water in your pool by dividing its capacity in litres (L) by the flow rate of your filter pump (in L/hr). Pros This Intex 364T Krystal Clear Filter Pump is the model to choose if you have a large above ground pool and looking for a pool filter that is more affordable than the sand Filter pump models. It’s built to handle a large volume of water, yet it’s still simple to install and operate. It’s really an upgrade from the smaller version I reviewed earlier,
