Why is there no water flow in my Bestway Water Filtration System?
- A
  amanda17Aug 14, 2025
  There might be several reasons for the lack of water flow. First, check if the stopper plugs were removed and the debris screens were inserted. Second, ensure that any trapped air has been released. Third, verify that the control valve is set to the filter function, not closed. Also, the strainer might be blocked and needs cleaning. In some cases, the sand filter might be broken, requiring professional service.

Why is my Bestway Water Filtration System showing excessive filter pressure?
- S
  Samantha VazquezAug 18, 2025
  Excessive filter pressure can occur due to a dirty filter, which requires backwashing. Another cause may be a calcified sand bed, which means you should inspect the sand and change it if necessary. Insufficient backwashing could also be the reason; backwash until the water runs clear. Lastly, the pressure gauge might be broken and needs replacement.

What to do if sand is flowing to the pool from my Bestway 58497 Water Filtration Systems?

  If sand is flowing into the pool, the sand might be too small; it is recommended to use 0.45 mm to 0.85 mm #20 silica sand. Also, check if the sand level is too high, ensuring it's between the 'MAX' and 'MIN' markings on the collector hub. Finally, inspect the skimmer; if it's broken, replace it.

  Excessive filter pressure can stem from several causes. Try backwashing the filter first, as the filter might be dirty. Inspect the sand bed for calcification and replace the sand if needed. Also, ensure you are backwashing sufficiently until the water runs clear. If the problem persists, the pressure gauge might be broken and require replacement.
