Bestway Flowclear Sand Filter Pump w/GFCI Plug | 800 Gallon/Hour Flow Rate | Cleans Water for Above Ground Pools

Installation facile et filtre très bien. L'eau de la piscine est claire. Fonctionnement silencieux.

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. On my pool, the water is changed with this once an hour? Keeps it clear. I also configured a vacuum hose with an in-line filter bag, and this has just enough power to get stuff off the bottom. But it's not quite enough to run a floating surface skimmer properly. A plastic $45 dollar pool (pool only, mid-winter every 2-3 years when it needs replacing), and this $90 filter, which will last through a few pools. No cartridges to replace. Well worth the money for the enjoyment provided. Do it. A clear top or container so you can see the sand would be cool. (We got a demo unit one year, clear sand tank. Was awesome. You could see when the sand needed a flush, and watch it back-flush.)

Achtung !! Obwohl es sich um den „AMAZON Tipp“ handelt ist das Gerät nicht für den Einsatz in Deutschland tauglich !! Es handelt sich um die 120 Volt - Ausführung mit einem 3-poligen Stecker. Nach einem Gespräch mit Amazon hätte ich 15€ Nachlass bekommen um dafür einen Adapter zu besorgen

I bought this because the stock pump on my 14x32 summer waves pool was junk. The first summer we opened it, I did nothing but fight nasty water. We put it away for two years. Then I saw this pump at its low price for the 800gal model, so I bought it. No, it is not what is pictured. The 800gal does not have the large separate filter portion. It is one medium sized device with a small filter built into the model. It was disappointing but, I decided to give it a go anyway. It was fairly cheap, comparatively speaking. Hook up was a little confusing but, I put that on my excitement and tendency to see pictures backwards. The only water issue I had this year was mustard algae at set up. I believe this was from the year it was up and nasty and then put away. This pump and proper chemicals got rid of it quickly enough. Then it was smooth sailing all summer. One thing I did notice was, if you don’t “rinse” after you backwash, the handle gets really hard to turn and very difficult to get on the proper setting. So, after every backwash, do a proper rinse and save yourself a headache. It doesn’t have much suction for connecting a vacuum hose. It does work well enough but also, takes a while, and the little filter clogs up pretty quickly, so I have to clear it out a few times during vacuuming. All in all, it’s a good product for me and, would definitely purchase it again in a pinch. The only thing that would ever make me upgrade was if I got a bigger pool or, wanted a little more vacuum suction.

upgraded our pump from the paper filters, within hours we noticed huge improvement and within a day it was crystal clear, installing hoses an sand was also straightforward and pump runs quiet and powerful
