How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Electrical panel work should only be done by qualified personnel. Unplug the pump before inspecting its cord.

  • Dedicated circuit: Whenever possible, run the Bestway pump on a dedicated circuit separate from sensitive electronics.
  • Avoid undersized cords: Do not use long, thin extension cords. Use properly rated cords only if absolutely necessary.
  • Check cord and plug: Inspect for heat damage or discoloration that may indicate poor connections.
  • Professional evaluation: If interference is severe, have an electrician check the home wiring and a technician evaluate the pump’s motor and capacitor.
