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.
Do not assemble on soft lawn. If you must assemble the pool on a soft surface, timber boards must be placed under the feet of the
vertical supports to spread the load.

Carefully read, understand, and follow all information in this user manual before
installing and using the swimming pool. These warnings, instructions, and safety
guidelines address some common risks of water recreation, but they cannot cover
all risks and dangers in all cases. Always use caution, common sense, and good
judgment when enjoying any water activity. Retain this information for future use.
Non Swimmers safety
- Continuous, active, and vigilant supervision of weak swimmers and non-swimmers
by a competent adult is required at all times (remembering that children under five
are at the highest risk of drowning).
- Designate a competent adult to supervise the pool each time it is being used.
- Weak swimmers or non-swimmers should wear personal protection equipment
when using the pool.
- When the pool is not in use, or unsupervised, remove all toys from the swimming
pool and its surrounding to avoid attracting children to the pool.
Safety devices
- In order to prevent children from drowning, it is recommended to secure the
access to the pool with a protection device. In order to prevent children climbing
from the inlet and outlet valve, it is recommended to install a barrier (and secure all
doors and windows, where applicable) to prevent unauthorized access to the
swimming pool.
- Barriers, pool covers, pool alarms, or similar safety devices are helpful aids, but
they are not substitutes for continuous and competent adult supervision.
Safety equipment
- It is recommended to keep rescue equipment (e.g. a ring buoy) by the pool.
- Keep a working phone and a list of emergency phone numbers near the pool.
Safe use of the pool
- Encourage all users especially children to learn how to swim
- Learn Basic Life Support (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation - CPR) and refresh this
knowledge regularly. This can make a life-saving difference in the event of an
emergency.
- Instruct all pool users, including children, what to do in case of an emergency.
- Never dive into any shallow body of water. This can lead to serious injury or death.
- Do not use the swimming pool when using alcohol or medication that may impair
your ability to safely use the pool.
- When pool covers are used, remove them completely from the water surface
before entering the pool.
- Protect pool occupants from water related illnesses by keeping the pool water
treated and practicing good hygiene. Consult the water treatment guidelines in the
user’s manual.
- Store chemicals (e.g. water treatment, cleaning or disinfection products) out of the
reach of children.
- Use the signage as outlined below. Signage is to be displayed in a prominent
position within 2m of the pool.
Keep children under supervision in the aquatic environment. No diving.
Removable ladders shall be placed on a horizontal surface.
- Irrespective of materials used for swimming pool construction, accessible surfaces
have to be checked regularly to avoid injuries.
- Regularly monitor bolts and screws. Remove splinters or any sharp edges to avoid
injuries.
- ATTENTION: Do not leave the drained pool outside. The empty pool is liable to
become deformed and/or displaced due to wind.
- If you have a filter pump, refer to the pump’s manual for instructions.
WARNING! The pump cannot be used while people are inside the pool!
- If you have a ladder, refer to the ladder’s manual for instructions.
- WARNING! The use of a swimming pool implies compliance with the safety
instructions described in the operating and maintenance guide. In order to prevent
drowning or other serious injuries, pay particular attention to the possibility of
unexpected access to the swimming pool by children under 5 years by securing
the access to it, and, during the bathing period, keep them under constant adult
supervision.
Installation usually takes approximately 20-30 minutes with 2-3 people excluding
earthworks and filling.

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.
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. Place the pool near an adequate drainage system to deal with overflow water and ensure the
pool’s inlet A and outlet B are correctly positioned to allow your filter pump to connect to a power
source. Note: Do not use extension power cords to power your pump.
ATTENTION: Do not drag the pool on the ground, this can damage the pool.
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.

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 on any side to ensure the
pool is level.
IMPORTANT: If pool is not level, drain water and re-level ground by digging out.
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 a great deal 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.
