PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND RETAIN FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

CHOOSE THE CORRECT LOCATION

NOTE: The pool must be set up on a completely flat and level surface. Please do not

install the pool if the surface is inclined or sloped.

Correct conditions to set up the pool:

• The selected location has to be capable of uniformly supporting the weight for the entire time the
pool is installed; moreover the location must be flat and must be cleared of all objects and debris
including stones and twigs.

• We recommend positioning the pool away from any objects children could use to climb into the
pool.

NOTE: Position the pool near an adequate drainage system to deal with overflow or to

discharge the pool.

Incorrect conditions to set up the pool:

• On uneven ground the pool may collapse, causing serious personal injury and/or damage to
personal property and will void the warranty and prevent any service claims.

• Sand should not be used to create a level base; the ground must be dug out if necessary.

• Directly under overhead power lines or trees. Be sure the location does not contain underground
utility pipes, lines or cables of any kind.

• Do not set up the pool on driveways, decks, platforms, gravel or asphalt surfaces. The selected
location should be firm enough to withstand the pressure of the water; mud, sand, soft / loose soil
or tar are not suitable.

• Grass or other vegetation under the pool will die and may cause odors and slime to develop,
therefore we recommend removing all grass from the selected pool location.

• Avoid areas prone to aggressive plant and weed species that may grow through the ground cloth
or liner.

NOTE: Check with your local city council for by-laws relating to fencing, barriers, lighting

and safety requirements and ensure you comply with all laws.

NOTE: If have a filter pump, refer to the pump’s manual for instructions.
NOTE: The ladder must match the pool size and should to be used only for entering and

exiting the pool. It is forbidden to exceed the permitted payload of the ladder. Check regularly if
the ladder is properly assembled.

Installation

Assembly of the Rectangular Frame Pool can be completed without tools.

Bestway Inflatables will not be responsible for damage caused to the pool due to mishandling or
failure to follow these instructions.

Filling Pool with Water

ATTENTION: Do not leave pool unattended while filling with water.

1. Fill pool until water capacity is 90%. 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.

2. When filling the pool is completed, check that the water is not collecting more on any side to
ensure the pool is level.

IMPORTANT: If the pool is not level, drain the water and re-level the ground by

digging it out. Never attempt to move the pool with water in it as serious personal injury or
damage to the pool may result.

WARNING: Your pool may contain a great deal of pressure. If your pool has a bulge or

any uneven sides, 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 the pool for any leaks at the valves or seams. Check the ground cloth for any evident

water loss. Do not add chemicals until this has been done.

Pool Maintenance

If you do not adhere to the maintenance guidelines below, you and your children’s health could be at risk.

IMPORTANT: If you don’t adhere to the ideal values of the water chemicals, the PVC

can be damaged and become discolored.

The following table lists the sequence of the tests that should be carried out to obtain the ideal
values. Regularly check the pH value and chlorine concentration weekly and adjust as needed to
reach the ideal values.

TEST
pH value
Cyanuric acid
Free chlorine
Chlorine compound
Algae
Calcium hardness

To keep your pool clean:

1. Contact your local pool supply shop for advice and purchase of chemicals and pH kits. One of the

most important factors to increase the life of the liner is to continuously keep the pool water clean
and healthy. Please strictly follow the instructions from professional technicians for the water
treatment through the use of chemicals.

2. Locate a bucket of water next to pool to clean users’ feet before entering the pool.

3. Cover the pool when not in use.

4. Skim pool regularly to avoid settled dirt.

5. Check and wash the filter cartridge regularly.

6. Gently clean any scum from below the top ring with a clean cloth.

7. In case of rain water, check that the water level is not higher than the recommended amount. If

so, YOU HAVE TO DISCHARGE THE EXCESS WATER.

Proper maintenance can maximize the life of your pool.

IDEAL VALUES

7.4 – 7.6
30 – 50 ppm

38ºC / 100ºF.

property.

6. We strongly recommend the pool is disassembled and stored in a dry location out of chlidren's
reach during the off season (winter months).
