Filling Pool with Water
ATTENTION:
Do not leave pool unattended while filling with water.
Pool walls will rise as you fill with water. (See Fig. 10)
The pool liner must extend evenly around the outside of the inflatable ring when filling the 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. 12) 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. Fill pool to lowest pump valve.
STOP
4. Turn water off. Check valves for secure fit.
5. Fill pool until water capacity is 80%, up to the bottom of the inflated
ring of the pool so that the sides are smooth and firm. (See Fig. 11)
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 information.

ATTENTION: Do not drag the pool on the ground in order to avoid puncturing from sharp objects. Bestway Inflatables
will not be responsible for damage caused to the pool due to mishandling or failure to follow these instructions.
NOTE: The base or bottom of the pool should be laid out properly (flat without wrinkles).
5. For 732cm x 366cm x 122cm (24’ x 12’ x 48”) pools, please refer to the connection valve installation on page 3.
For the 488cm x 305cm x 107cm (16’ x 10’ x 42’’),549cm x 366cm x 122cm (18’ x 12’ x 48”) and 610cm x 366cm x
122cm (20’ x 12’ x 48”) pools, insert the blue stopper plug into the inlet and outlet on the wall of the pool from the
inside of the pool.
6. Slide Beam A into the pole sleeve at the top of the pool. Connect Beam C to Beam A: ensure the spring-loaded pins
snap into the pre-drilled holes. Continue connecting and inserting Beam B; be sure to line up the holes in the sleeves
with the holes on the Beams. Repeat this procedure for Beam C. Continue inserting the Beams into the other side of
the pool. (See Fig. 1)
NOTE: The combinations for beams are different for different sizes of pools, see the chart on page 2 for details. (Be sure
all sides end up with the metal beam holes aligned with the pole sleeve holes on the sidewalls of pools).
7. Install the U-supports; first insert the U-support through the Pole support at the bottom of the pools, then insert the
two ends of the U-Support into the exposed holes on the Beams. Complete one side before moving to the other side
of the pool. (See Fig. 2.1/2.2)
8. Inflate the top ring of the pool with an air pump (not included). Ensure the safety valve is closed securely after
inflation. (See Fig. 3)
ATTENTION: Do not use high pressure air hose or over inflate the top ring, it should be slightly stiff to the touch.
NOTE: Hot temperatures cause air to expand the ring and may cause damage. Leave some room for expansion.
Please see FAQ’s for additional information.
9. Ensure drain valve is firmly closed.
10. Put 1” to 2” water in the pool to cover the floor. Once pool floor is slightly covered, gently smooth out all wrinkles.

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.
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 keep continuosly clean and healthy water. Please follow strictly the

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a suitable base for the Fast Set pool?
Almost any completely flat, solid, level surface can be used. Do not use sand as a leveling material as it is 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?
If your pool appears to be bulging on one side it is not set up on level ground. It is important that you empty 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.
Fill your pool following the instructions in the owner’s manual carefully. This will ensure that you do not 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. How much pressure is recommended to use during inflation of the ring of my Fast Set Pool?
We recommend the use of a Bestway inflation Pump (not included) or other low-pressure pump when attempting to inflate the
top ring. The top ring is filled to capacity when it becomes round in shape and is firm to the touch. Pay attention to major air
temperature variation. An over inflated ring heated by the sun may burst or could lead to leaks in the seam; if the ring feels too
firm let some of the air out. In cold ambient temperature the top ring will lose some pressure, it may appear as though the ring is
deflating due to a leak, DO NOT add air since the air inside will expand again once the temperature rises.
Note: Every use of air
compressor or high pressure pump for the inflation of the ring is forbidden. Bestway inflatables will not be responsible for bursting
of the ring due to the use of air compressor.
4. Can I have my pool filled by a water service?
We recommend using a garden hose under low pressure for filling your pool. If it is necessary to use a 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.
5. What is the maximum fill height of the pool?
Fill pool until water capacity is 80% up to the bottom of the inflated ring of the pool. Never attempt to fill your pool beyond the
base of the ring. 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.
6. My pool is leaking, what do I do to fix it?
The pool does not need to be emptied to fix any holes. Self-adhesive underwater repair patches can be 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. For a hole in the top ring, inflate the ring to locate the hole, mark the hole so
you can see it easily and apply the patch pressing down firmly. Once it is applied deflate the ring slightly to take some of the
pressure off the patch. If the ring is completely deflated and the pool is empty put a heavy weight onto the patch to assist in
bonding. If you have patched the pool when it is empty we recommend you leave it at least 12 hours before filling.
7. Where can I buy filter cartridges and how often should I change them?
Filter cartridges to fit your filter pump should be available from the store where you purchased your pool. If 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. You can also visit our website www.bestway-service.com for
cartridge purchase.
8. How many times a year should I change the water?
This is dependant on the amount of use the pool receives, and the attention paid to covering the pool and 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.
9. Do I need to take my pool down for the winter?
Yes, Above-ground pools may collapse under the weight of ice and snow and the PVC walls will be 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 chemicals and rodents and out of the reach of children.
10. My pool is fading – why is that?
Excessive use of chemicals can cause the color of the inside of the liner to fade; this is similar to a swimsuit fading over time
from repeated contact with chlorinated water.
11. How many years will the pool last?
There is no set time limit for the pool to last; following the instructions in the owner’s manual and with proper care,
maintenance and storage you can considerably increase the life of your pool. Improper set-up, use or care can result in failure of
the pool.
12. Do you recommend the use of a filter pump with a Bestway pool?
Absolutely! We strongly recommend you the use of a filter pump which could maintain the water of the pool clean.
13. Which are the most important functions of my filter pump?
The most important function of a filter pump is the elimination of every sort of impurity from the water by the aid of a filter
cartridge and chemical products for its sterilization.
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 pool.
3. Cover the pool when not in use.
4. Skim pool regularly to avoid settled dirt.
5. Check the filter cartridge regularly, change filter cartridge if filter cartridge remains soiled or discolored. Suggest
replacing the filter cartridge every 2 weeks.
6. Gently clean any scum from below the top ring with a clean cloth.
7. To improve the water quality we suggest to use Bestway accessories like skimmer, maintenance kits. Please visit our
website www.bestway-service.com or contact your pool supplier. Please be careful in case of rain water, kindly check
that the water level is not higher than the expected one. If so, please act consequently.
Proper maintenance can maximize the life of your pool.
ATTENTION:
Do not use pump when pool is in use.
During the season of use of the swimming pool, the filtration system must be necessarily put into service every day,
enough for a long time to assure at least a complete renewal of the volume of water.
Repair
If your pool is damaged, use the repair patch. -see FAQ’s for instructions.
