Frequently Asked Questions - Flowclear 58678 BESTWAY

What to do if the screen displays 'E0'?

Make sure the filtration pump is running and the water flow is above 1,050 L/h. Check that valves are open, filter and cell are clean, and hoses are not blocked. If the problem persists, clean the flow sensor or contact customer service.

What to do if the screen displays 'E1'?

Code 'E1' indicates salt concentration too low (less than 2,000 ppm). Add sodium chloride (NaCl) salt with 99.8% purity according to the quantity table. Also check that the electrolytic cell is clean and the cable is properly connected.

What to do if the screen displays 'E2'?

Code 'E2' means salt concentration is too high (above 3,000 ppm). Drain about 20% of the pool water and refill with fresh water. Wait 1 hour and repeat if necessary until the error disappears.

How to clean the electrolytic cell?

Remove the cell and immerse it in a solution of 50% water and 50% white vinegar. Let it sit a few minutes, then rinse with clear water. Avoid harsh chemicals. Monthly cleaning is recommended, especially with hard water.

What salt concentration should I maintain in my pool?

The optimal salt concentration is 3 g/L (3000 ppm). Use pure sodium chloride salt at 99.8%. Too low concentration reduces efficiency, too high can corrode equipment. Use test strips to check.

How to set the operating time of the chlorinator?

Press the timer button to set the operating time. The table provided in the manual indicates recommended times based on pool volume and water temperature. The product locks automatically after 1 minute of inactivity.

Why is the chlorine level insufficient despite correct operation?

Possible causes: operating time too short, salt concentration too low, dirty cell, heavy pool usage or strong sun exposure. Increase operating time, check salt, clean cell, and cover pool if possible.

How to fix the chlorinator on a base?

The chlorinator must be fixed on a solid base (concrete or wood) of at least 18 kg. Drill two 8 mm diameter holes spaced 165 mm apart. Use the provided fixings to prevent accidental falls.

How to use the included test strips?

Dip a strip fully into the water and remove immediately. Hold it horizontally for 15 seconds without shaking. Compare the colors with the chart on the bottle to measure free chlorine, pH, and total alkalinity.

What to do if flaky precipitation appears in the water?

This indicates excess calcium (hard water). Drain 20 to 25% of the pool water and add fresh water. Also clean the electrolytic cell. If the problem persists, test water hardness.

RECOMMENDATIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION

• The chlorinator must be installed at the last position of the water circulation pipe (down the direction of the water flow) as shown in "1a. and 1b."
• Only use sodium chloride (NaCl) salt with a purity of at least 99.8% to fully dissolve it.
• Too low salt content will reduce the efficiency of the chlorinator and result in low chlorine production. High salt content may produce a salty taste to the pool water and it may cause corrosion to metal fixtures and fittings in the pool.
• The "Pool Salt Table" shows the correct amount of salt required. Refer to the different quantity of water. The salt in the pool will not automatically decrease.
• Only when the pool water is lost will the salt in the water decrease, and the evaporation of water will not cause the salt to decrease.

If the device shows error E2, it is necessary to reduce the salt concentration: Drain about 20% of the pool water, and then refill with clean water. Wait 1 hour, and if the error still remains, repeat the operation until the E2 error disappears. In case the quantity of water of your pool is not listed in the “pool salt table”, follow the below formula to calculate the correct quantity of salt to add to the pool to reach the 3000 ppm of salt concentration, or in case the E1 error appears on the display.

Recommended Pool Working Time Set Table
1. This table shows the recommended working hours for the normal maintenance of the chlorinator connected to the pool.2. For cleaning the pool, please run it at 1.5-2 times the time shown in the table for the first use, and run it according to the normal working hours once the chlorine level is reached.3. On the first use or if the water in the pool is dirty, run the chlorinator until the level of chlorine is correct or the water is clean.Refer to the working time shown in the table below.

It is recommended to cover the surface of the pool during the operation of the product to help increase the level of chlorine in the pool.

ATTACHING A BASE TO THE CHLORINATOR

Follow the below instructions. There must be two holes with a diameter of 8 mm and a spacing of 165 mm on the base. The product can be fixed on a cement base or a wooden platform. The total weight of the base should not be less than 18 kg to protect the chlorinator from accidentally falling over.

MAINTENANCE

ELECTROLYTIC CELL

To clean the electrolytic cell, follow the instruction in the section 📋. Drawings are for illustration purposes only. May not reflect actual product. Not to scale. In order to maintain the best results, we recommend opening and checking the electrodes every month. However, if the water quality of the swimming pool is hard water (high content of calcium and magnesium ions), the electrodes may need to be cleaned manually on a regular basis. To clean the electrolytic cell, it is suggested to use a solution of 50% water/50% vinegar, or check with your pool dealer the suitable chemical product. Be sure to avoid chemical product that can damage the Titanium plate.

WATER CHEMICAL BALANCE

	Minimum	Best Value	Maximum
Available chlorine	0	0.5 - 3.0 ppm	3.0 ppm
Combined chlorine	0	0	0.2 ppm
pH value	7.2	7.4 - 7.6	7.8
Total alkalinity	40 ppm	80 - 100 ppm	120 ppm
The hardness of calcium	50 ppm	100- 250 ppm	350 ppm
Stabilizer (cyanuric acid)	10 ppm	20 - 40 ppm	50 ppm

- If the concentration of chlorine exceed the recommended level, it can be dangerous to use the pool. Test the chemical balance before using the pool. If using the test strip, check the expiration date, as the test result may be inaccurate if passed the expiration date.

BESTWAY® TEST STRIPS (INCLUDED IN THE PRODUCT)

The test strips can test the concentration of "free chlorine", "PH" and "total alkalinity" in the water at the same time. It is recommended to check the level of the chemical in the water every day and before use.

• Immerse a whole strip of test paper in water and take it out immediately.
• Keep the test paper level and wait for 15 seconds. Do not shake off excess water.
• Please compare the "free chlorine", "PH" and "total alkalinity" grades of the test paper with the color plate attached to the bottle.

STORAGE

• Remove all accessories; be sure to clean and dry all before the storage. If all the parts are not completely dry, mold may result. We strongly recommend to disassemble the Chlorinator when the environment temperature is below 10^ / 50^ .
• Store the Chlorinator in a dry place with a moderate temperature between 10^ / 50^ and 38^ / 100^ .
