- Welcome to my latest CZcams video! Today, I'm thrilled to share with you my experience unboxing and assembling the Bestway Flowclear Sand Filter System pool pump for my family's backyard pool. As a pool owner, I understand how important it is to keep your pool clean and healthy for your family to enjoy.
In this video, I take you through every step of the unboxing and assembly process, from opening the box to installing the pump and connecting it to our pool system. I'll share with you my tips and tricks for an easy and hassle-free installation, as well as any potential challenges or hiccups that you may encounter along the way.
I hope my experience can help make your pool maintenance journey a little bit easier and more enjoyable.

Description
The Bestway® 800 gal Flowcear™ Sand Filter is a highly efficient and environmentally friendly way to keep clean water flowing through your above ground pool. It’s also far more cost effective than running a traditional filter pump system as the pump uses silica sand instead of a filter cartridge. Where a filter cartridge may need replaced every 2 weeks, silica sand only needs to be changed once every 3 years.

Danke Euch !
Thanks 😊 - Jak na to + styl
Thanks I had to reinstall the pump and didn’t have the manual , great video !!!
Very excellent explanation, I could not have done it without you. Thanks very much!
This was perfect thank you!!! Bought mine at a yard sale with no book or box. I really needed this lol
Thanks for sharing!
Nice video, I have the 3m diameter pool, similar to yours with the supplied pump. It works ok but the flowrate is rather low and I need to clean the filter daily. I'm sure the sand filter moves a lot more water and does a better job keeping the pool clean.
Plumbers tape would stop that leaking. Wrap it around 2 to 3 times around each thread before screwing the fittings in and there should be zero dripping. I did it with my other similar pump. Anyways, good video. I'm buying one of these in moments on Amazon. In my cart, but I wanted to make sure the hose size was similar to my pool before pulling the trigger.
Hey thx for the video! Do you know why pressure is quite low (although everything seems to be working). Pressure is below 0.2 psi and its hard to clean the pool as the sucking thing (vacuum cleaner) is slow and sluggish.
very helpful thanks
Glad it helped
Hi! Thank you for a video!
Can you tell me the tubes from the filter you had to fit the new filter?
I'm looking to buy one myself online but i'm wondering if it comes with a canadian. One twenty volt plug. And thank you your video is very helpful. stay safe be well.
Just watched all three of your pool vids
Awesome! I hope they were helpful.
Do you have an above ground pool ?
@@DriventoTravel yes I do
Thanks for the video.
I just order a 3028/L sandfilterpump. Dot know if i should use sand or Filterballs.
I have used only sand so far and haven’t yet tried the filter balls. Whichever one you pick, let me know. Have a great summer with the new pool 😎
Hi, my intex 604 impeller and shaft broke. Had an smaler pump (half size) laying around that's in use for now.
Anyway i see this pump in a lokal store a few days ago and i'm thinking to get me one.
But i dont know how its driven, is it same magnet driven shitty plastic rotor-impeller with ceramic shaft thats are in the cheaper pumps ?
Or is it a real motor whit propeller?
Hey, thank you so much for this video. It really really helped me today. I have a question that maybe you can answer for me. This pump plug doesn’t seem to have a timer system like my plug did with the best way pool that I bought. Now that pump was a terrible little pump and it died after one summer so that’s why I bought this one. But, because it does not have a timer on it, should I take that as it should run all the time? Should I leave it on 24/7?
I usually run my pump for a few hours a day. No timer , just an on/off switch.
On days when I add chlorine I might let it run overnight
hi i bought this pump but for a different p. Ron
ool brand. the pump came with hose that dont match the supplied intake ooutflow. hose is to big these were supplied by bestway. do youe know of an adapter. bestway customer support no help
im looking to upgrade the normal pump that is on my bestway pool to a sand filter. 2 questions - 1 how do you calculate what size and model you need and 2 how is the sand filter is it any good?
You want a filter that has a flow rate capable of circulating the entire volume of your pool at least once a day.
Thanks for the video. I'm planning to upgrade from the cartridge filter pump to this one. One of my complaints with my current pump is the noise. How is the noise from this sand filter pump compared to your previous one?
Great question @stevenotter42
I noticed right away the the sand filter was marginally more quiet.
Remember though there is alway going to be some noise. Perhaps you could try and run the filter pump at times when it won’t bother you.
All the best eh !!
If you want to run an automatic pool hoover off it dont get it and the flow rate isnt enough
what for is thoose buttons at adapter T and R?
Hi, nice video. What kind of pool you have? I gonna but this pump this week for our pool, 305 cm x 76 cm
Hey thanks a bunch! Ya I have the same pool. The pump is kinda big for that pool but it keeps it super clean and I only run it for a few hours.
I might buy a larger pool next year and I reckon I can continue to use the same pump😄
hey did you see that your delivery pipe is leaking? It will certainly need to be tightened a bit. thanks for the video
Thanks for the vidéo
Can you please explain each icôn on the filter
There are 6 fonctions and I don't know what IS for WHAT. And no explaination on the manual
I’ll have to take a look when I get home from work … Thanks 😊
Hello I’m hoping you see this and can help me, I’m needing new flanges on my pump and need the model number on the flanges that seal the pump or possibly the size of it to replace it. Was given to me so I don’t have them or instruction to loom I’ve tried looking on like no luck so please if you would it’s this exact pump 800 gal.
Push the tube past the o ring and camp between the groove
Thanks chief
Thank you for the walk thru!! The instructions were no help!!
Glad it helped!
Здравствуйте.подскажите пожалуйста.купил такой же фильтр.при первом запуске при промывке песка вилился песок примерно 1,5-2 кг.засыпал по отметке максимум.теперь песка меньше минимума.пробовал добавлять,все равно выплевывает столько же.в чем может быть проблема?или так и должно быть?
Perhaps the size of sand grains you are using are different than the recommended size.
I tried translating your words but it’s pretty sketchy.
I hope everything works out for you.
🏊🤽🏻♂️💦😎
@@DriventoTravel спасибо.да,дело было в песке.заказывал 0,4-0,8 но пришел 0,05-0,3.обманул продавец.заменил песок на правильную фракцию.все хорошо.🤝
Hi and thanks for the vid. It's been 11 months so how is that pump holding out, I see at the end a little water dripping out from the hose. I am hoping to use this pump or one like it for our wood fired Hot tub after the water has cooled a bit LOL. Only issue is I will need to hang the hoses over the edge and weigh them down a little. Cheers Glenn v from NZ
So I just set it all up last week and it works well. Some small leakage but nothing major. I put fresh filter sand in it.
Holds good pressure and all the functions are operating.
Second season starting and I’m happy !
Great to hear from you Glenn !!
After I made that video I actually went back and tightened all the fittings. That stopped the water. I just published the video before I fixed it 😅
It seems to just leak everywhere in the video. Did you get that fixed? I'm looking to buy one but it doesn't look very high quality
Ya I got everything tightened up and there are no more leaks. I had a long day making that video while doing the pool work and I never got shots of pump after it was all tightened up.
There are always challenges making CZcams videos lol 😆
How big is your pool? I need a different t pump for mine
Just got this filter, says it's good for pools up to 4800 gallons! Mine is about 3000 gallons
FYI
You only change the sand once every 3-5yrs….just be sure you backwash and rinse it once a week if u use ur pool a lot but if not then every two weeks. Also just unhook the pump and store it inside during winter and you’ll be fine.
Thanks ! Hey it looks like you make pool videos too 😃
It’s true I like to clean my pool more often than required. Thanks for the info. I hope you have subscribed to my channel and check out my @cityofbarrie video this summer.
Take care 😆
HOW DO U CLEAN THE FILTER BRO
There is a backwash function with the orange handle on top. That’ll suck water from the pool and wash through the sand in the pump. Then spit it out in the garden.
I backwash about once a week
Very useful thank you, aside from actually connecting to the pool, the instructions are woeful and you skipped this step as you already had connections in place
Mine was missing the manual.
Try watching my other video
I hope it helps

I see a leak
Rubber gasket was missed
Die Pumpe ist nicht dicht !!!!
looks like its leaking?
Hi Kevin, thanks for watching!
Ja , well spotted! It was leaking from all the parts that we’re screwed together. I went back the next day and re-torqued all connections.
I think the plastic parts kinda flexed into position after being assembled for 24 or so hours. Please subscribe and if you want share a pic of your Pool set 🤠
Have a great summer Eh !
@@DriventoTravel thx for the clarification, I have bought one, it just made me think about the quality of the product...
Awesome ! Have you installed it yet?
I’d love to hear about your experiences with your backyard pool setup.
Have a great summer 😎
@@DriventoTravel yes installed no leaks your video made the bad little instructions easy to understand. Also I wish they’d add a few more pounds to the actual pool price (replacing my old one liner gone). It’s a pump vacuum runs the thing that came was rubbish really.
Mines leaking from port A, same as in the end of your video. Can't seem to get it to stop. Any tips?
