  There might be several reasons for the lack of water flow in your Bestway Water Filtration System. First, ensure that the stopper plugs have been removed and the debris screens are inserted. Second, release any trapped air. Third, check that the control valve is set to the filter function, not closed. Fourth, the strainer might be blocked and needs cleaning. Finally, the sand filter may be broken, requiring you to call for service.

Why does the control valve leak from port D on my Bestway Water Filtration System?

  Susan Walsh MDAug 27, 2025
