Do I need to disassemble my spa for the winter?
Close Me
The spas equipped with Freeze Shield™ can be used all year. Read the instruction manual carefully to use the Freeze Shield™ system properly to avoid any damage to the spa. For the models without the Freeze Shield™ system, we don't recommend using the spa when the outdoor temperature is lower than 10 degrees. Using the spa when the outdoor temperature is below 10 degrees can freeze the water and damage the internal components of the spa heater and the material of the liner.
How can I attach or detach the spa heater ?
Close Me
To attach or detach the spa heater from the PVC liner, you'll need to inflate the liner to the correct pressure and place the spa heater in front of the spa in correspondence with the two or three connection points. Screw the gears to fix the spa heater to the liner and unscrew it when you need to remove the spa heater from the liner.
IMPORTANT:
1. Maybe the connection point is not perfectly aligned. You can move the PVC material a little bit in order to tighten the gear.
2. Before detaching the spa heater from the liner, be sure that the stopper caps are in position to avoid water flowing out from the spa.
3. The sealing of the stopper caps are not perfect and some water can flow out. This is normal, and the spa heater and the PVC liner must be together at all times. The products are not designed to work separately.
How can I deflate the liner using the new deflation adapter included in the set?
Close Me
After detaching the pump from the liner and draining all water, be sure to completely dry the liner. For a faster and more complete deflation, please follow these steps:
First step: screw the new deflation valve to the air outlet of the spa. The air outlet is the biggest gear on the spa.
Second step: screw the inflation hose to the deflation valve.

How can I remove the mold growing on the surface of the PVC liner and inflatable lid during the winter?
Close Me
This is usually caused by the liner being damp when put away for the winter. Mold can be cleaned using a diluted liquid soap or the Clearwater Scale and Stain Remover. This product will not harm the liner in any way.
IMPORTANT: before winterizing your spa and inflatable lid, leave it deflated in the sun for half a day and store in dry place. This will prevent the growth of the mildew on the surface during the winter.

What is the difference between the heavy duty repair patch and the underwater adhesive repair patch?
Close Me
Starting in 2017, all repair patches included in the sets are underwater adhesive repair patches. All of the ones produced before 2017 were heavy duty repair patches. Using the underwater repair patch is easy, and it is not necessary to drain the water from your pool.
What is the functionality and advantage of using the power saving function?
Close Me
The power saving function was created to optimize the usage of the Bestway spa. You can decide to start the heating system later in the day in order to have the desired temperature and enjoy the spa massage when you need it, instead of keeping the heating function on all the time and wasting energy.
Example: if you need your spa at 40°C (104ºF) tomorrow evening, you would just follow these steps:
First step: open the filtration system and after one minute you should see the real water temperature (e.g. 18℃).
Second step: if the set temperature is 40℃ (104ºF), the difference between actual temperature and set temperature is 22℃ (71ºF). Since the temperature increase per hour is 2℃ (35ºF), you need to start heating the water 11 hours before using it.
If is 6 PM and you want to use the spa tomorrow evening at 6 PM, this means the spa heater has to start heating at 7 AM, so set the waiting time to 13 hours and heating time to 11 hours.
In this case, the power saving function saves more than 13 hours of power (more than 26KW) because without this function you would have been forced to start the spa in the evening and waste a lot of energy and money.

Why is the liner leather cover bigger than the liner?
Close Me
This problem normally occurs when a new inflatable liner has been purchased or replaced under warranty. New inflatable liner needs time to expand before it reaches the correct size. The rate at which the liner expands depends on the ambient air temperature and how often the water inside your spa is heated. Please be assured that this is perfectly normal and we have never had a liner that has not expanded to the correct size.
IMPORTANT: to inflate the inflatable liner, use the spa heater and the provided inflation hose. Don't use air pressure machines or other equipment that can over-inflate the PVC liner and drastically reduce the lifespan of your spa.

Can I leave the spa in the sun?
Close Me
You can leave the spa in the sun, but be sure that you are using the cover when the spa is not in use.
Using the spa cover to avoid damage to the top surface of the spa pool:
The material of the spa liner is PVC, and inside the chamber, there is the air. In the sun, the PVC can become soft and increase the air pressure. This can cause deformation of the top ring. Using the top cover will avoid this situation. To inflate the spa, wait until the evening when the temperature is low. These simple operations will improve the life of your spa.
Using the spa cover to improve the quality of the water:
The spa cover prevents the water from being contaminated by the external dust.
Can I use salt water?
Close Me
Do not use saltwater to fill the pool. The salt can damage the internal component and the surface of the material if used in high percentage. The safe concentration of salt that can be used in the spa water is 3000 ppm (3gr per liter of water). If the percentage of salt exceeds this concentration, the water must be changed in order to avoid damage to the internal mechanical part of the spa pump.

How do I keep water clean?
Close Me
Bestway Spas are equipped with a filtration system including a cartridge. When activating the filtration function, the water passes through the cartridge which traps the debris. So, it’s important to keep it clean; it’s enough to remove it from the filter set and wash it with tap water. The cleaning frequency may vary depending on the use of the inflatable whirlpool and the water quality.
The filtration system removes all debris from the water, but to keep water clean, it is also necessary to perform the correct chemical treatment, using specific products, as chlorine, pH + / pH– and Antialgae.
The ideal values for a correct chemical balance of the water are as follows:
-the pH should be between 7,4 - 7,6
-the free chlorine should be between 1ppm and 3ppm
To verify these values, use the specific strips. This operation should be repeated periodically, depending on the frequency of use of the Spa and the outside temperature.
The cleaning of the bottom of the Spa must be done with dedicated vacuum cleaners which allow the removal of the debris deposited on the bottom of the liner, which couldn’t be trapped by using the filtration function of the pump.
How do I repair the different material of the spa?
Close Me
Bestway's spas are produced with different material: PVC, Duraplus, and drop stitch material. The procedures to repair the materials are different. Follow the instructions on the instruction manual or the back of the provided repair patch.
How often should I change the water?
Close Me
As per the international standards, the water without correct chemical performance should be changed about every 3 days. The advice is for safety reasons: if the customer performs the correct chemical treatment and the correct filtration time, the water can be used for long time. It depends on the frequency of use.
IMPORTANT: cover the pool liner with the cover and take a shower before using the products. Those will keep the water cleaner longer.
If I don't use the spa for 1 month, what can I do to keep water clean?
Close Me
It is recommended to empty the spa. If this is not possible, we advise to carry out a chemical treatment of the water to avoid the formation of algae. In addition, we recommend using the cover to prevent leaves or other types of debris from collecting on the surface.
Is it possible to program the spa to automatically filter every day?
How long should it be activated?
Close Me
It is not possible to set the automatic cycle to filtrate the water, as the filtration must be started manually. The filtration system can be activated from your mobile phone if your pump has the Wi-Fi function.
The filter set is difficult to unscrew from the spa wall, what can I do?
Close Me
Unscrew the filter set with two hands and apply strength evenly to unscrew.
The water is not clean even if I use the spa pump regularly. What can I do?
Close Me
To create the correct maintenance procedures for your water, follow these instructions:
1. Increase the filtration time.
2. Check the filter cartridge every day and rinse with water. If the filter cartridge remains soiled and discolored, you should replace it with a new one.
3. The filter pump alone cannot eliminate all the bacteria in the water. The most important part to keeping the water clean is keeping the correct chemical balance. Check with your checmical dealer to get the correct quantity and type of chemicals to have the correct water maintenace.
What can I do if white flakes appear in the water?
Close Me
The presence of white flakes in your water depends on the hardness of the water. Drain about 20 to 25% of the pool water and add fresh water to decrease the calcium hardness.
If the above operation doesn't solve the problem, contact your nearest chemical supplier to purchase the correct chemical to reduce the hardness of the water.
What is the correct chemistry condition?
Close Me
Total Alkalinity: 80 - 120 ppm
pH: 7.4 - 7.6
Calcium Hardness: 200 - 400 ppm
Cyanuric Acid: 30 - 50 ppm
Free Available Chlorine: 2.0 - 4.0 ppm
What kind of chemicals should be used for water maintenance?
Close Me
Please consult your local chemical supplier for information about chemical maintenance. Pay close attention to the chemical manufacturer’s instructions.
What should I do if my water turns green?
Close Me
If the water becomes green due to the incorrect chemical maintenance, establish the correct chemical balance by contacting your local chemical dealer. They will suggest the correct products to use and the frequency.
When do I need to use the reset button on the side of the spa heater?
Close Me
The reset button is connected with a mechanical thermal switch that works when the water temperature in the spa is over 55 ℃ (131ºF), if the outside temperature is above 40, or the spa heater is exposed directly to sunlight. In case the thermal cut off intervenes, the display of the spa heater will show the alarm E08. This alarm can be reset following the below steps:
IMPORTANT: perform the following tests in a cooler time of the day.
First step: unplug the spa heater from the power outlet.
Second step: use a thin object to push the reset button (it is not necessary press hard).
Third step: plug in the spa heater to a power outlet and reset the PRCD.
Fourth step: push the heating function. If the situation is resolved, the display will not show the E08 alarm.
IMPORTANT: if the outside temperature remains over 40 or the spa heater still remains under sunlight, it will be necessary to perform the above steps everyday.
Why is the water turning white?
Close Me
If the water becomes white, it is the chemical reaction between the chemical used and the quality of the water. Consult your chemical dealer to adjust the water condition.
