What does this pool heater do?

The Bestway Flowclear heater raises the water temperature of your pool by 0.5 to 1.5°C per hour, depending on the volume of water. With a smaller pool of about 3,000 liters, you’ll notice the difference within a few hours. For a large pool of 10,000 liters or more, it’s best to leave the heater on overnight—that way, you can enjoy pleasantly warm water during the day. The maximum set temperature is 40°C.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Bestway heater also work with an Intex pool?

Yes. The heater has a 32mm hose connection that is compatible with virtually all Intex and Bestway above-ground pools. Check to see if your pool hose is also 32mm—this is the case for most Intex and Bestway models up to 457 cm in diameter.

How quickly does the pool heat up?

The heater raises the water temperature by 0.5 to 1.5°C per hour. For a 5,000-liter pool, it takes about 6 to 10 hours in calm weather to raise the water temperature by 8°C. For larger volumes, this takes longer. It is most efficient to use the heater in combination with a pool cover.

What pump do I need for this heater?

You’ll need a filter pump or sand filter pump with a flow rate of at least 2,200 liters per hour and no more than 3,785 liters per hour. The connection size is 32 mm. Most standard Bestway and Intex filter pumps meet this requirement.

How much electricity does the pool heater use?

The power consumption is 2,800 watts (2.8 kW). If the heater runs for 8 hours a day, it consumes approximately 22.4 kWh per day. At an electricity rate of €0.35 per kWh, that costs about €7.85 per day. Using a pool cover in combination with the heater significantly reduces energy consumption by limiting heat loss.

To what temperature does this unit heat the water?

The maximum adjustable water temperature is 40°C. For comfortable swimming, a temperature between 28°C and 32°C is most pleasant. The unit shuts off automatically when the set temperature is reached.
