ATTENTION: Do not leave the drained pool outside. The empty pool is liable to being deformed and/or displaced due to wind.
• If 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 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.
NOTE: When installing the pool, the position of skimmer should be opposite to the main wind direction. The placement of
the ladder in the pool shall be away from the skimmer.
Please read carefully and keep for future reference.

CHECK LIST
To check the parts included in the box, consult the parts list in this 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 must respect the following technical characteristics:
• 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 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 in the rain. If the water
softens the surface, it may lose its capability to support the pool weight.
• 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 situation can damage the welding point of the liner damage the steel wall 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 discharge 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. The 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 overflows from the pool during use or due to a faulty product can damage inside of a house or any
furniture surrounding the pool.
• Suggested set-up surfaces: grass, ground, concrete, and all other surfaces that respect the above set-up conditions.
Avoid these surfaces: 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 the installation is complete and you must move the item, be careful not to damage the wall and do not drag the liner on
the ground. The friction between the material and the ground can damage the 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 improper set up and location, will not be considered a manufacturer defect
and will void the warranty and any service claims.
