PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND RETAIN FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Preparation
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 slope.
• Check with your local city council for by-laws relating to fencing, barriers, lighting and safety requirements and ensure
you comply with all laws.
• Take the pool and accessories out of the carton with care. If the pool set comes with a ladder, the ladder requires a
crosshead screwdriver or an adjustable wrench ( not included ) to assemble.
• Locate your pool with a minimum of 1.22m (48 inches) space on all sides so that a child can not use an object to climb
into the pool. Do not set up directly under overhead power lines or trees and be sure the location does not contain
underground utility pipes, lines or cables of any kind.
• It is essential the pool is set up on solid, level ground. If the pool is set up on uneven ground it can
result in collapse of
the pool and flooding, causing serious personal injury and/or damage to personal property. Setting up on uneven
ground will void the warranty and service claims.
• Sand should not be used to create a level base, the ground should be dug out if necessary.
• Do not set pool up on driveways, decks, platforms, gravel or asphalt. Ground should be firm enough to withstand the
pressure of the water; mud, sand, soft / loose soil or tar are not suitable.
• The ground must be cleared of all objects and debris including stones and twigs.
NOTE:
Lawn or other vegetation under the pool will die and may cause odors and slime, therefore we recommend
removing all grass from where the pool will be located. Avoid locating your pool over or beside areas prone to
aggressive plant and weed species as they may grow through the ground cloth or liner.
• We highly recommend that once the pool is unfolded on the ground cloth to let it sit exposed to direct sunlight for 1
hour or more so that the pool is more flexible during set up.
• If purchased with a pump, the pump should be installed after pool is fully assembled. Remember to locate the intake
and return outlets towards the outside power source.
NOTE:
If you bought a filter pump, this element has a separate manual instructions. Please open its relative box for details.
• If you bought a separate ladder for your pool, make sure it matches the pool size.
• Regularly check to make sure the ladder is properly assembled.
NOTE:
The ladder is only to be used for entering and exiting the pool.

2. If pool was purchased with a ground cloth, spread carefully at the desired location. This pool may have been
purchased with a Bestway Filter Pump, if a pump is to be used (recommended and also available separately)
the pool should be located within distance of a 110-volt AC outlet protected by a GFCI-Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter.
3. Place the Leg Bands (L) on the ground (See Fig. 1). There are different lengths of Leg bands (L), please ensure
you have used the correct sizes at the correct locations.
4. Spread out the pool and put it on the Leg Bands (L). Make sure it is right side up (See Fig. 2). Let it sit exposed
to direct sunlight for 1 hour or more so the pool is more flexible during set up.
5. Turn the pool so the drain valve is near the area where your plan to drain the water and pump valves are facing
the GFCI outlet for the optional filter pump.
ATTENTION:
Do not drag the pool on the ground in order to avoid damaging the linear on sharp objects.
Bestway Inflatables will not be responsible for damage caused to the pool due to mishandling or failure to
follow these instructions.
6. Insert all of the top rails into the pole sleeves on the top of the pool (See Fig. 3). The combinations for top rails
are different for different sizes pools, see the Structure Section for detail.
7. At the middle opening of each sleeve, insert the two ends of the top rails into the Connector (I).(See Fig. 4)
NOTE:
At each Connector ensure both top rails are properly inserted.
8. At the corners, insert the top rails into the Corner Seats (J). Insert the Connection Pins (K) into the pre-drilled
holes locking the top rails into position.(See Fig. 5)
9. Insert the Vertical Pool Legs (F) into the bottom of the Corner Seats (J). (See Fig. 5)
10. On the sides of the rectangle, insert the T Support (E), Vertical Pool Legs (F) or the Y-Vertical Pool Legs (G)
into the vertical holes of the Connectors (I). (See Fig. 6, See Fig. 8)
11. Connect the Side Support Legs (H) to the Y-Vertical Pool Legs (G). Ensure the spring-loaded pins lock into the
pre-drilled holes. (See Fig. 6)
12. On each corresponding Pool Leg located on the sides of the rectangle, put the Pool Legs (E, F or G) through
the loops of the Leg Bands (L). This will keep both corresponding pool legs locked in position.
(See Fig. 6, See Fig. 8)
13. Attach all Footings (M&N) to the bottom of the Vertical Pool Legs (F) and the Side Support Legs (H).
(See Fig. 7)
NOTE:
Make sure all the Footings (M) under the Y-Vertical Pool Legs (G) are on the floor, an unequal force will
make the Side Support Legs (H) irreparable damage. Failure setting up will void the warranty and service
claims.
14. Test the Frame to ensure all connections are secure before filling with water.
15. Insert the blue stopper plug into the inlet and outlet on the inside wall of the pool.

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
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.
