SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When installing and using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed:
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to operate this device.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK-Connect only a grounding type receptacle protected by a
ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the
receptacle is protected by GFCI.
WARNING: Do not bury the cord. Locate the cord to minimize abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers
and other equipment.
WARNING: If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, a service agent or
similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, replace damaged cords immediately.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use extension cords to connect the unit to the
electric supply; provide a properly located outlet.
WARNING: Assembly and disassembly by adults only.
WARNING: This product shall be more than 2m away from the pool.
WARNING: The plug of this product shall be more than 3.5m away from the pool.
WARNING: Do not plug in or unplug this product while standing in water or when your hands are wet.
WARNING: Do not operate this product when the pool is occupied.
WARNING: Always unplug this product from the electrical outlet before removing, cleaning, servicing
or making any adjustment to the product.
WARNING: 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.
WARNING: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by persons responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised at all times to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
WARNING: For your safety, do not store or use gasoline, chemicals or other flammable liquids or vapors
near this or any other appliance.
WARNING: It is necessary to have the plug accessible after installation of the appliance.
CAUTION: Do not subject the chlorinator to direct sunlight, water, or freezing conditions or excessively
dusty, humid and corrosive environments, chemical fumes must also be avoided.

WARNING: The chlorinator must be installed in an outdoor location. This unit is not intended for indoors
use.
CAUTION: For continued protection against possible electric shock this unit is to be mounted to the base
in accordance with the installation instructions.
NOTE: Please examine equipment before use. Notify Bestway at the customer service address listed on
this manual for any damaged or missing parts at the time of purchase. Verify that the equipment
components represent the models that you intended to purchase.

INTRODUCTION
MPORTANT NOTICE: The filter pump attached to the chlorinator can run for a maximum of 8 hrs/day.
The chlorinator should not be on when the filter pump is not working.
Common salt (sodium chloride) is made up of two elements, sodium and chloride. During the installation
of your chlorinator, a measured quantity of salt is dissolved in the pool water to create a mild saline
solution. As part of the daily filtration cycle, the pool water is passed through the chlorinator’s electrolytic
cell to produce chlorine which is dissolved instantly in the water. In simple, non-technical terms, the
chlorine instantly starts to destroy bacteria, algae and oxidized other organic materials.
Electrolytic Cell (with Titanium Plates)
The electrolytic cell contains bipolar titanium electrodes which perform the electrolysis and produce
chlorine when energized with DC current. Chlorine is generated as pool water containing salt passes
through the cell. The chlorine production can be varied by changing the number of hours the chlorinator is
on each day. The chlorinator automatically reverses the cell electrode titanium plates every twenty hours
to clean the cell. This process does not interrupt the chlorine production.
When replacing the cell, only use replacement cells having a label that clearly states that it is a
replacement cell for the chlorine generating device Hydro-Force Flowclear Chlorinator Model 58215,
REGISTRATION NUMBER 30383, PEST CONTROL PRODUCTS ACT.

• Flow Sensor The flow sensor protects the electrolytic cell and assures that will always be adequate water
flowing through the cell. When the water flow drops below the minimum flow rate, the electrolytic cell
will automatically shut down to protect the titanium plates and no chlorine will be produced.
• Control Panel The chlorinator includes a electronic control panel with buttons and LED indicators to
control the chlorinator and produce chlorine at the defined operating hours. The chlorinator also
measures the different parameters such as salt level and water flow. If any deviation from the norm occurs
then a LED indicator will light to indicate the problem.

PARTS REFERENCE
Before assembly, take a few minutes to become familiar with all the parts.
NOTE: Drawings for illustration purpose only. May not reflect actual product. Not to scale.

POOL WATER CHEMISTRY
Minimum Ideal Maximum Optimum Pool Water Chemistry Conditions It is recommended that the
following pool water chemistry conditions be checked daily and maintained. This will help to protect pool
users, pool related equipment and surfaces in and around the pool. These values are important to
maintaining the pool equipment in proper operating condition and preventing corrosion or other problems.
The chlorinator is warranted to operate properly only if these conditions are met. For more information,
please consult with your local swimming pool dealer for water treatment.
• Free Chlorine is the chlorine residual present in pool water.
• Combined Chlorine is formed by the reaction of free chlorine with ammonia wastes.
NOTE: If combined chlorine is too high, it will result in sharp chlorinous odour and eye irritation.
• pH - A value that indicates how acidic or basic a solution is.
NOTE: If pH is too low, it will result in corroded metals, eye & skin irritation and destruction of total
alkalinity. If pH is too high, it will result in scale formation, cloudy water, eye & skin irritation and poor
chlorine efficiency.
• Total Alkalinity indicates the degree of the water’s resistance to change in pH. It determines the speed
and ease of pH change, so always adjust total alkalinity before adjusting the pH level.
NOTE: If total alkalinity is too low, it will result in corroded metals, eye & skin irritation. Low alkalinity
will cause the pH to be unstable. Any chemical added to the water will have an effect on pH. If total
alkalinity is too high, it will result in scale formation, cloudy water, eye & skin irritation and poor
chlorine efficiency.
• Calcium Hardness refers to the amount of calcium and magnesium dissolved in the water.
NOTE: If calcium hardness is too high, it will result in scale formation and cloudy water.
• Stabilizer (Cyanuric Acid) - Stabilizers extend the life of chlorine for outdoor swimming pools.
What Type of Salt to Use?
The purer the salt, the better the life and performance of the chlorinator. Use only sodium chloride (NaCl)
salt that is at least 99.8% pure. It is also acceptable to use water conditioning salt pellets (the compressed
