    Why is there excessive filter pressure in my Bestway FLOWCLEAR 58498?
    • J
      James OlsonAug 7, 2025
      Excessive filter pressure in your Bestway Swimming Pool Filter can be due to several factors. The filter might be dirty, in which case you should backwash it. A calcified sand bed can also cause this issue; inspect the sand and change it if necessary. Insufficient backwashing could be the reason, so backwash until the water runs clear. Lastly, a broken pressure gauge can give incorrect readings, so consider replacing it.

      If there's no water flow in your Bestway Swimming Pool Filter, start by checking if the stopper plugs were removed and the debris screens inserted. Ensure that any trapped air has been released. Verify that the control valve isn't set to the closed position; it should be set to the filter function. A blocked strainer can also cause this, so clean it. If none of these steps work, the sand filter may be broken, requiring service.

    How to stop sand flowing to the pool from my Bestway Swimming Pool Filter?

      If sand is flowing into your pool from the Bestway Swimming Pool Filter, it could be due to a few reasons. The sand might be too small; it's recommended to use 0.45 mm (0.02 in) to 0.85 mm (0.03 in) #20 silica sand. Also, check if the sand level is too high, ensuring it's between the marked “MAX” and “MIN” levels on the hub. Lastly, a broken skimmer can cause this issue, so consider replacing it.

    Why is the control valve leaking from port D on my Bestway Swimming Pool Filter?

      Crystal GonzalesAug 25, 2025
      If the control valve on your Bestway Swimming Pool Filter is leaking from port D, it could be because the control valve is set between two functions; ensure it is set to only one function. Alternatively, the gasket may be broken, in which case you should replace it.
