How do I choose the right cartridges and filters for my Bestway pump?

How to choose the right cartridges and filters for your Bestway pump — clear and useful tips:

How to know which cartridge fits your pump

Bestway uses three main cartridge types: Type I, Type II, Type III.
The correct type depends on your pump model.

How to identify the right one:
• Check the pump manual — the exact cartridge type is listed there.
• Look at the pump’s label — most units say “Filter cartridge I / II / III” on the body.
• Compare size and shape:
– Type I: smallest
– Type II: medium
– Type III: large, for higher-capacity pumps

If the cartridge fits too loosely or wobbles, it’s the wrong type and won’t filter properly.

How often to clean and replace cartridges

• Rinse daily or every other day.
• Replace every 5–7 days in hot weather.
• Replace more often if the water becomes cloudy.

If your cartridge tears, deforms, or lets dirt through, describe the issue on Xolvie — it may be a defect.
