Assembly the Splash-in-Shade play pool no need any tools.
Bestway Inflatables will not be responsible for damage caused to the pool due to mishandling or failure to follow these
instructions.
1. Lay out all parts and check that you have the correct quantities as listed in the components list. If you are missing
any part do not assemble the pool, contact Bestway Customers Service.
2. Spread out the pool and make sure the pool is right side up, let it sit exposed to direct sunlight for 1 hour or more so
that the pool is more flexible during set up.
3. Turn the pool so the drain valve is near the area where your plan to drain the water.
ATTENTION:
Do not drag the pool on the ground in order to avoid puncturing from sharp objects.
4. Insert the stopper plug into the inlet and outlet on the wall of the pool from the inside of the pool. (See Fig. 8)
5. Insert top rail (A) into the pole pockets at the top of the pool. (See Fig. 1)
6. Connect top rail (A) with T-Connector (C) at each of corner and insert pins (D) into pre-drilled holes of the frame.
(See Fig. 2, 3)
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until all top rails (A) are connected with all T-Connectors (C) and the top frame is set up.
NOTE:
For ease of assembly slightly raise the last 2 rails to an inverted v shape and insert into the last
T-Connectors(C). Slowly lower until fully connected taking care not to pinch your fingers. (See Fig. 4)
8. Connect vertical pool leg (B) into the bottom of the T-Connector (C). (See Fig. 5)
NOTE:
Make sure the hole on the vertical pool leg (B) is facing outward.
9. Attach all footings (E) to the bottom of the vertical pool legs (B). (See Fig. 6)
10. When the pool is completely assembled pull the frame from different directions to ensure all rails, pool legs and
connectors are firmly jointed. (See Fig. 7)
11. Ensure drain valve is firmly closed. Smooth out the bottom.
12. Insert the 8 Tent legs (K) to the 8 T-Connectors (C) (See Fig. 9)
13. One fiberglass pole (L) has 3 sections. Extend the fiberglass pole by pulling out each section and place it into the
metal ferrules.
14. Insert one end of the pre-extend fiberglass pole to the Tent leg (K), the other end to the Sprayer (F). Repeat this step
for the other fiberglass poles. Make sure the 8 fiberglass poles form a semidome. (See Fig. 10)
15. Spread the tent's outer cloth (O), make sure the center is above on the Sprayer (F), adjust the tent's outer cloth (O)
position until the sewing lines are superposed to the fiberglass poles (L). Hook the tent's outer cloth (O) to the hole
of the vertical pool leg (B). (See Fig. 11)
16. Tie the outer cloth (O) to the fiberglass pole (L) by using the 3 pairs ropes at the inner of outer cloth (O). The rope
can also fix the hose (M).
17. Smooth out all wrinkles on the outer cloth and make it perfect.
IMPORTANT:
Put 1in. to 2in. 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
ATTENTION:
Do not leave pool unattended while filling with water.
NOTE:
The Hose Adapter can be used with two different garden hoses.
1. Fill pool just below the fill line on the pool's interior. Do not exceed the fill line on the pool's interior. 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. (See Fig. 13)
2. When filling the pool is completed, check that the water is not collecting on any side to ensure the pool is level.
IMPORTANT:
If pool is not level, drain water and re-level ground by digging out (See Fig. 12). Never
attempt to move the pool with water in it, serious personal injury or damage to the pool may result.
WARNING:
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. 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.
NOTE:
In the event of a leak, patch your pool using the underwater adhesive repair patch provided. Refer to the
FAQ's for further information.

Pool Maintenance
If you do not adhere to the maintenance guidelines below, your health might be at risk, especially that of your 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.
Refer to filter pump manual to install, operate and maintain the filter pump.
The following table lists the sequence of the tests that should be carried out for the ideal values and possible actions.
Regularly check the pH value and chlorine concentration weekly and adjust to the ideal values.
TEST
IDEAL VALUES
pH value
7.4 – 7.6
Cyanuric acid
30 – 50 ppm
Free chlorine
2 – 4 ppm
Chlorine compound
0
Algae
None visible
Calcium hardness
200 – 400 ppm
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.
3. Cover the pool when not in use.
ATTENTION:
THE BESTWAY POOL COVER IS NOT A SAFETY COVER.
4. Skim pool regularly to avoid settled dirt.
5. Change filter cartridge in filter pump every 2 weeks.
6. Gently clean any scum from the side with a clean cloth.
Proper maintenance can maximize the life of your pool.
ATTENTION:
