RETAIN THESE DIRECTIONS FOR 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 slope.
Correct condition 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 kids 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.
NOTE:
Position the pool near an AC power outlet protected by a GFCI-(Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter).
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.
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.
4. Insert the stopper plugs into inlet A and outlet B on the wall from the inside of the pool.
NOTE:
For 5.49m x 2.74m x 1.22m / 18’ x 9’ x 48”, 6.71m x 3.66m x 1.32m / 22’ x 12’ x 52”, 7.32m x
3.66m x 1.32m / 24’ x 12’ x 52”, 9.56m x 4.88m x 1.32m / 31.3’ x 16’ x 52” pools, please refer to the
connection valve installation on following page.
5. Assemble the Top Rails. Start with the long side of the pool, begin by sliding Top Rail B into the pool
sleeve. Connect Top Rail A or Top Rail E to Top Rail B, ensure the spring-loaded pins snap into the
pre-drilled holes. Be sure to reference the Top Rail Combination Chart to determine the correct
configuration for your pool. Continue connecting and inserting additional Top Rails. Be sure to line up the
holes in the rails with the holes on the sleeves. (See Fig.1)
6. Insert the C-Connectors into the Top Rails. (See Fig. 2.1/2.2)
7. Install the U-Support; first insert the U-Support through the Pole Support at the bottom of the pool
(See Fig. 3.1/3.2), then insert the two ends of the U-Support into the exposed holes on the Top Rail
(See Fig. 3.3), ensure the spring-loaded pins snap into position. Repeat this procedure for the remaining
U-Supports.
NOTE:
Complete one side of the pool before moving to the other side.
