PRE-SETUP
CHECK LIST
Check the parts inside the manual. Verify that the equipment components represent the model that you had intended to purchase. In case of any
damaged or missing parts at the time of purchase, visit our website bestwaycorp.com/support.
CHOOSE THE CORRECT LOCATION
The surface chosen to install the pool on must respect the following conditions:
• Because of the combined weight of the water inside the pool and the pool users, it is extremely important that the surface chosen to install the
pool on is capable of uniformly supporting the total weight for the entire time the pool is installed. When choosing the surface, take into
consideration that water may come out of the pool when in use or when it rains. If the water softens the surface, it may lose its capability to
support the pool weight.
• Check the position of the vertical legs and/or the U-supports regularly. They must be on the same level as the bottom of the pool at all times. If the
vertical leg or the U-support starts to sink into the ground, drain the pool water immediately to avoid the pool collapsing due to the uneven loading
on the frame structure. Change the location of the pool or modify the surface material.
• The surface must be flat and smooth. If the surface is inclined or uneven, it can create an unbalanced loading on the structure of the pool. This
can damage the welding points of the liner and bend the frame. In the worst cases, the pool can collapse, causing serious personal injury and/or
damage to personal property.
• We recommend positioning the pool away from any objects children could use to climb into the pool.
• Position the pool near an adequate drainage system to deal with overflow or to empty the pool. Ensure the pool side with the water inlet A and
outlet B is located in the same direction of the power source, where the filtration system has to be connected.
• The selected surface must be clear of any type of object. Due to the weight of the water, any object under the pool could damage or perforate the
bottom of the pool.
• The selected surface must be clear of aggressive plants and weed species. Those types of strong vegetation could grow through the liner and
create water leakage. Grass or other vegetation that may cause odor or slime to develop have to be eliminated from the set-up location.
• The selected location must not have overhead power lines or trees. Be sure the location does not contain underground utility pipes, lines or
cables of any kind.
• The selected position must be far from house entrance. Do not position any equipment or other furniture around the pool. The water that comes
out of the pool during use or due to product faults can damage furniture inside the house or surrounding the pool.
• The selected surface must be flat and without holes that can damage the material of the liner.
Suggested set-up surfaces: grass, ground, concrete, and all other surfaces that respect the above set-up conditions.
Surfaces to avoid: mud, sand, gravel, deck, balcony, driveway, platform, soft/loose soil or other surface that does not meet the above set-up
conditions.
• Check with your local city council for by-laws relating to fencing, barriers, lighting and safety requirements and ensure you comply with all laws.
• If a pump and/or ladder is included in the set, refer to the pump's and/or ladder's manual for safety instructions and installation. The ladder must
match the pool size.
• If during set up it is necessary to change the position of the pool, lift up the liner and do not drag it on the ground; the friction between the PVC
material and the ground can damage the pool liner.
• Follow the important instructions above to choose the correct surface and location to set up your pool. Damaged parts of the pool, due
to the fact that the set-up surface and location does not match the instructions, will not be considered as manufacture defect and will
avoid the warranty and any service claims.
INSTALLATION
ASSEMBLING
• For installation instructions, follow the drawings inside the manual. Drawings are for illustration purposes only. May not reflect actual product. Not
to scale.
• Assembly of the Frame Pool can be completed without tools.
• Installation usually takes approximately 20-30 minutes with 2-3 people excluding filling.
• To lengthen the life of your pool, it is important to sprinkle the top rails with the Talcum Powder before assembly. Talcum Powder is not included in
the package.
• Bestway will not be responsible for damage caused to the pool due to mishandling or failure to follow these instructions.
• We strongly suggest opening the package and assembling the pool when the environment temperature is above 15ºC / 59ºF; the PVC material of
the liner will become more flexible and easier to assemble.
FILLING POOL WITH WATER
• Do not leave pool unattended while filling with water.
• Fill the pool with water after all assembly steps are completed and until the water reaches the welding line, which corresponds to 90% of the full
capacity.
• Do not overfill as this could cause the pool to collapse. In case of heavy rainfall, we strongly recommend to reduce the water level to keep it at
90% capacity, to avoid overflowing of the water.
• When the pool is completely filled, check that the distance between the water surface and the top of the rails is the same all around; if it is
different, it means that the floor is not leveled so we strongly recommend to drain the water and re-level the ground.
• Keeping the pool full of water on unleveled ground can cause bursting of the welding points and/or pool collapse, causing serious personal injury
and/or damage to property.
MAINTENANCE
If you do not adhere to the maintenance guidelines below, your health might be at risk, especially that of your children.
WATER
• Keeping your pool water clean and chemically balanced is necessary. Simply cleaning the filter cartridge is not enough for proper maintenance;
we recommend you use pool chemicals to maintain water chemistry and chlorine or bromine tablets (do not use granules) with the chemical
dispenser.
