Assembly of the Frame pool can be completed without tools.
NOTE: It is important to assemble pool in the order shown below. Install your pools according to the above
illustrations.
1. Lay out all parts and check that you have the correct quantities as listed in the parts guide. If you are
missing any part do not assemble the pool, contact our Customer Service Department for assistance.
NOTE: Vertical pool legs are packaged inside the top rails.
2. If pool was purchased with a ground cloth, spread carefully at the desired location. This pool may have
been purchased with a Bestway Filter Pump, if a pump is to be used (recommended and also available
separately) the pool should be located within distance of a 110-volt AC outlet protected by a
GFCI-Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter.
3. Place the Leg Bands (L) on the ground (See Fig. 1). There are different lengths of Leg bands (L), please
ensure you have used the correct sizes at the correct locations.
4. Spread out the pool and put it on the Leg Bands (L). Make sure it is right side up (See Fig. 2). Let it sit
exposed to direct sunlight for 1 hour or more so the pool is more flexible during set up.
5. Turn the pool so the drain valve is near the area where your plan to drain the water and pump valves are
facing the GFCI outlet for the optional filter pump.
ATTENTION: Do not drag the pool on the ground in order to avoid damaging the linear on sharp objects.
Bestway Inflatables will not be responsible for damage caused to the pool due to mishandling or failure to
follow these instructions.
6. Insert all of the top rails into the pole sleeves on the top of the pool (See Fig. 3). The combinations for top
rails are different for different sizes pools, see the Structure Section for detail.
7. At the middle opening of each sleeve, insert the two ends of the top rails into the Connector (I).
(See Fig. 4)
NOTE: At each Connector ensure both top rails are properly inserted.
8. At the corners, insert the top rails into the Corner Seats (J). Insert the Connection Pins (K) into the
pre-drilled holes locking the top rails into position.(See Fig. 5)
9. Insert the Vertical Pool Legs (F) into the bottom of the Corner Seats (J). (See Fig. 5)
10. On the sides of the rectangle, insert the T Support (E), Vertical Pool Legs (F) or the Y-Vertical Pool Legs
(G) into the vertical holes of the Connectors (I). (See Fig. 6, See Fig. 8)
11. Connect the Side Support Legs (H) to the Y-Vertical Pool Legs (G). Ensure the spring-loaded pins lock
into the pre-drilled holes. (See Fig. 6)
12. On each corresponding Pool Leg located on the sides of the rectangle, put the Pool Legs (E, F or G)
through the loops of the Leg Bands (L). This will keep both corresponding pool legs locked in position.
(See Fig. 6, See Fig. 8)
13. Attach all Footings (M&N) to the bottom of the Vertical Pool Legs (F) and the Side Support Legs (H).
(See Fig. 7)
14. Test the Frame to ensure all connections are secure before filling with water.
15. Insert the blue stopper plug into the inlet and outlet on the inside wall of the pool.
16. Ensure drain valve is firmly closed.
17. Put 1'' to 2'' water in the pool to cover the floor. Once pool floor is slightly covered, gently smooth out all
wrinkles. Start in the center of the pool and work your way clockwise to the outside.
FILLING POOL WITH WATER

1. Fill pool to drain valve.
STOP
2. Turn water off. Check that the water is not collecting on any side to ensure the pool is level. If pool is not
level, drain water and re-level ground by digging out (See Fig. 10). Never attempt to move the pool with
water in it, serious personal injury or damage to the pool may result.
NOTE: Your pool may contain up to xxxxx liters/xxxx gallons which equals xxxxx pounds of pressure. If
your pool has any bulge or uneven side then the pool is not level, the sides may burst and the water may
discharge suddenly causing serious personal injury and/or damage to property.
3. If level,fill pool to lowest pump valve.
STOP
4. Turn water off. Check valves for secure fit.
5. Fill pool until water capacity is 90% (See Fig. 9), DO NOT OVERFILL as
this could cause the pool to collapse. In times of heavy rainfall you may
need to empty some of the water to ensure the level is correct.
6. Check pool for any leaks at valves or seams, check ground cloth for any
evident water loss. Do not add chemicals until this has been done.
7. In the event of a leak, patch your pool using the patch kit provided. Refer to the FAQ's for further

children.
NOTE: The filter pump is used to circulate the water and to filter small particles to keep your water free of
suspended dirt particles. In order to keep your pool water clean and hygienic you must add chemicals.
To keep your pool clean:
1. Contact your local pool supply shop for advice and purchase of chemicals and PH kits.
2. Locate a bucket of water next to pool to clean users' feet before entering pool.

overheating and damage to your pump may occur. Do not use pump when pool is in use.
Repair

water will start to drain automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is a suitable base for the Frame Set pool?
prone to shifting under the pool. The ground should be dug out until it is perfectly level. Do not set up on
driveways, decks, platforms, gravel or asphalt. The ground should be firm enough to withstand the weight
and pressure of the water: mud, sand, soft / loose soil or tar are not suitable. A concrete base can be used
but care should be taken not to drag the pool across the surface as abrasions could tear the liner. If the pool
is to be set up on a lawn, it is recommended that the grass is removed from where the pool will sit as it will
die and may cause odors / slime. Certain types of hardy grass can grow through the liner as can aggressive
bushes / plants by the side of the pool. Ensure adjacent vegetation is cut back where necessary. Use of a
ground cloth assists in protecting the base of the pool.
2. How will I know if my pool is set up on unleveled ground?
your pool and move the pool to a level site. If the pool is not on level ground it will place undue stress on the
seams and could result in the seams bursting which will cause flooding, property damage and potentially
personal injury or death.
waste water and the pool can be moved easily so that the ground can be leveled at an appropriate time and
not after you have completely filled it with water.
3. Can I have my pool filled by a water service?
water delivery service, it is best to fill the pool with one inch of water by hose and smooth wrinkles first. Use a
water service that is able to regulate the flow of water to prevent damage. Ensure you stop at each step as
noted in the instruction manual to ensure your pool is level. Bestway will not be held responsible for pools
damaged or weakened by water delivery services.
4. What is the maximum fill height of the pool?
pool beyond the base of the top rail. We recommend leaving extra room to account for water displacement
when occupants are inside the pool. You may have to top up the water during the season which has been lost
through evaporation or normal use.
5. My pool is leaking, what do I do to fix it?
purchased at your local pool / hardware store. For external use, use the repair patch provided. For internal
holes, clean the hole on the inside of the pool to wipe off any oils and algae. Cut a circle large enough to
cover the hole and apply the patch securely onto the side in the water. Cut a second patch and apply to the
outside of the pool for extra strength. If the hole is in the base of the pool use one patch only and weigh it
down with a heavy object while it bonds. If you have patched the pool when it is empty we recommend you
leave it at least 12 hours before filling.
6. Where can I buy filter cartridges and how often should I change them?
not, most mass retailers sell filter cartridges as an accessory. If you are unable to obtain replacements please
call our toll-free number and we will assist you in finding a source local to you. The cartridges should be
changed every 2 weeks dependent upon use of the pool. Check the filter on a weekly basis and clean by
hosing down any debris and particles. Note: Ensure your pump is disconnected from the electrical supply

before checking the filter cartridge.
7. How many times a year should I change the water?
keeping chemicals properly balanced. If maintained correctly the water should last a full summer season.
Please contact your local pool chemical supplier for detailed information regarding chemicals, they will be
able to advise you how to best maintain the cleanliness of your water.
8. Do I need to take my pool down for the winter?
damaged. We recommend taking the pool down when temperatures fall below 8ºC / 45ºF . The pool should
be stored indoors in a moderate temperature between 5ºC / 41ºF and 38ºC / 100ºF. Please store away from
