Q: What type of filtering media to use with the BESTWAY Power Steel 56671 pool pump: sand or polyethylene fiber spheres?

For your BESTWAY Power Steel 56671 pool, you can use two types of filtering media : the recommended silica sand or the Flowclear™ polyethylene fiber spheres. Both options are compatible with your filtration system. The BESTWAY manual recommends using pool quality filter sand only , specifically silica sand with a grain size of 0.45-0.85 mm (category #20). You will need approximately 8.5 kg of sand per bag to properly fill your filter. It is essential to use only specialized pool sand, free of limestone or clay, otherwise filtration performance would be reduced and your warranty could be affected. If you prefer an alternative, the Flowclear™ polyethylene spheres offer an approved replacement solution. The conversion ratio is 28 grams of Flowclear™ Polysphere to replace 1 kg of sand . These spheres have the advantage of being lighter, easier to clean, and handle when filling the filter. Whichever option you choose, strictly adhere to the indicated quantities and specifications. When filling the filter with sand, first pour water into the bottom of the lower tank to submerge the collector flap, to avoid damaging the skimmer. A minimum operation of 8 hours per day is recommended, and you should regularly check the filter for clogging and perform cleaning or backwashing once a week to maintain your pool's performance.

Question 4

Where can I find the assembly diagrams for the Steel Pro 56424 pool tubes?

Accepted Answer

The assembly diagrams for the Steel Pro 56424 pool tubes are located in the first pages of the PDF manual for your pool, usually in the "Assembly" or "Installation Instructions" section. These diagrams illustrate step by step how to assemble the tubular frame, connect the different tube segments, and install the clamps.

How to access the diagrams:

Check the complete PDF manual available for download on notice-facile.com from the product page of model 56424
Go directly to the assembly pages of the pool (before the filtration pump instructions)
You will see exploded views showing the connection order of the vertical and horizontal tubes

The numbered diagrams will show you precisely how to insert the tubular feet into the connecting sockets, how to assemble the horizontal tubes that form the rectangular frame, and how to secure them properly with the provided clamps. These steps are crucial for the stability and structural integrity of your pool.

If you are viewing the manual online at notice-facile.com, navigate to the top of the PDF document to find the assembly section. The images are clear and aim to facilitate the complete assembly of the frame before installing the liner. Each step is logically ordered and corresponds to the actual installation sequence.

For optimal assembly, prepare a flat and level surface, gather all the tubes before starting, and follow the steps in the order suggested by the diagrams. If a piece seems difficult to assemble, refer to the detailed diagram that shows the correct angle and alignment.

Question 5

What is the best location to install a BESTWAY Power Steel 56671 above-ground pool?

Accepted Answer

To install your BESTWAY Power Steel 56671 above-ground pool (4.57 m x 2.74 m x 1.22 m, capacity 12,300 liters), choosing the right location is crucial. Here are the essential criteria to follow:

Ground preparation: Select a perfectly flat and firm ground, free of stones, roots, or roughness. Your pool will weigh approximately 12,300 kg when full, making stability essential. A slight slope can cause one side to sink and damage the galvanized steel structure. Compact the soil and consider placing a geotextile or protective tarp under the pool to insulate it from the ground.

Circulation space: Allow at least 1 to 2 meters of clearance around the pool to facilitate setup, access to the included ladder, maintenance, and visitor circulation. This space also allows positioning the sand filter at least 2 meters from the edge of the pool, which is recommended for safety and filtration efficiency.

Sun exposure: Choose a location that is well-exposed to the sun (at least 6 to 8 hours per day) to naturally heat the water while having access to some shade during the hottest hours of the afternoon. This provides optimal comfort during summer use.

Access to water and electricity: Install the pool reasonably close to a water source (hose) for initial filling and top-ups, and near an electrical outlet to plug in the filtration pump. The sand filter must be powered safely, adhering to national electrical standards with a protected outlet.

Distance from trees and sources of contamination: Avoid placing the pool directly under or immediately next to trees. Falling leaves, twigs, and pollen significantly increase maintenance and reduce water clarity. Keep it away from areas where runoff water or debris could accumulate.

Safety and access: Ensure that the location allows for good supervision of children swimming. Check local regulations regarding above-ground pools, including minimum distances from property lines and any necessary administrative declarations.
