Frequently Asked Questions - Flowclear 58774 BESTWAY

How to install the Flowclear 58774 chlorinator?

Install the chlorinator last on the return circuit of the filtration pump, after the filter. Secure it on a solid base (concrete or wood) of at least 18 kg. Make sure the hose connections are tight and that the flow direction is respected.

How much salt should I add to my pool?

The recommended concentration is 3 g/L (3000 ppm). Use 99.8% pure sodium chloride. Refer to the quantity table in the manual: for example, for 7570 L, add 23 kg of salt. If error code E1 appears, add 8 kg for 7570 L.

What does error code E1 on the display mean?

Code E1 indicates too low salt concentration or dirt on the electrolytic cell. Add salt according to the table or clean the cell. Also check the cell cord connections.

What does error code E2 mean?

Code E2 indicates too high salt concentration. 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?

Disassemble the cell and immerse it in a solution of 50% water and 50% white vinegar for a few hours. Rinse thoroughly with clean water before reassembling. Perform this cleaning monthly.

Why is the water flow indicator red?

The red light indicates insufficient or no water flow. Check that the filtration pump is running, the valves are open, the filter and cell are clean, and the flow sensor is not blocked.

How to set the chlorinator timer?

Press the timer button briefly to set the operating time (from 1 to 12 hours). Hold the button for 3 seconds to lock/unlock. The cycle repeats automatically every day at the same time.

Can I use an extension cord with this chlorinator?

No, never use an extension cord. Plug the device directly into a grounded outlet protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Place the outlet more than 1.8 m from the pool.

What is the ideal water temperature for operation?

The water temperature must be between 10 °C and 36 °C. Below or above, the chlorinator's efficiency may be reduced.

Where to find spare parts for the Flowclear 58774?

When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.

WARNING - RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Connect only to a grounding type receptacle. This product is provided with a ground-fault

circuit-interrupter. If replacement of the plug is needed, use only identical replacement parts.

CAUTION - To reduce the risk of electric shock the pool must be installed no closer than 6 feet (1.8 m) from any electrical outlet. Do not place portable appliances closer than 5 feet (1.5 m) from the pool.

WARNING: This product is not intended to be bonded to the equipotential bonding grid.

DO NOT BURY CORD. Locate cord to minimize abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and other equipment.

WARNING - To reduce the risk of electric shock, replace damaged cord immediately.

WARNING - To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use extension cord to connect unit to electric supply; provide a properly located outlet.

CAUTION - This product is for use with storable pools only. Do not use with permanently-installed pools. A storable pool is constructed so that it is capable of being readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity. A permanently-installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage.

CAUTION - For continued protection against possible electric shock this unit is to be mounted to the base in accordance with the installation instructions.

SETUP

CHECK LIST

To check the parts list inside the manual. Verify that the equipment components represent the model that you had intended to purchase. In case of any damaged or missing parts at the time of purchase, visit our website bestwaycorp.com/support. Drawings are for illustration purposes only. May not reflect actual product. Not to scale.

PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS

Maximum chlorine production per hour:	12 g/h
Sand filter/Filter pump flow range:	330-3000 gal/h
Salt concentration:	3000 ppm (3 g/L)
Water temperature:	10-36°C
Ambient temperature:	5-45°C
Compatible with max water capacity:	15000 gal (56775 L)

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, 1b, 1c and 1d".
• Only use sodium chloride (NaCl) salt with a purity of at least 99.8% to fully dissolve it.
• Too low salt purity will reduce the efficiency of the chlorinator and result in low chlorine production. High salt purity 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.

Standby mode: At the end of the cycle, the display shows "00". At this time, the chlorinator will automatically enter the standby mode. The day after, approximately at the same time, it will automatically run again. If you unplug the Chlorinator, connect the plug the next day, and press the power button, the chlorinator will work according to the working hours set the previous day.

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 166 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.

It is recommended to check the level of the chemical in the water every day and before use.

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 disassembling the product during the off-season (winter months) and storing it in a dry place with a moderate temperature between 10^ / 50^ and 38^ / 100^ .
