Pool Maintenance
If you do not adhere to the maintenance guidelines below, your health might be at risk, especially that of your children.
Using chemical tablets (not included):
NOTE:
Chemconnect or Chemical Floater must be used when you perform chemical maintenance with tablets. Your purchased item
may not include any of those dispensers, in this case you can purchase it by visiting our website www.bestwaycorp.com or at the
nearest pool dealer.
IMPORTANT:
Don't use granulate tablets or throw the tablet directly in the water. The chemicals can deposit on the bottom, damage
the material and discolor the PVC.
Using chemical liquid (not included):
IMPORTANT:
Add chemical liquid in small doses and in the center of the pool to avoid direct contact between the chemicals and the
PVC surface. Direct contact can damage the material and discolor the surface.
NOTE:
Remove the chemical dispenser from pool when the pool is in use.
IMPORTANT:
After performing chemical maintenance and before using the pool, use a test kit (not included) to test the water
chemistry. We recommend maintaining your water according to the following table.
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 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
Bestway Inflatables will not be responsible for damage caused to
the pool due to mishandling or failure to follow these instructions.
ATTENTION:
Do not use a high pressure air hose or over-inflate
the top ring, it should be slightly stiff to the touch.
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.
NOTE:
The base or bottom of the pool should be laid out
properly (flat without wrinkles).
NOTE:
Hot temperatures cause air to expand the ring and may
cause damage. Leave some room for expansion.
NOTE:
Connect a garden hose to the adapter located on the
inflatable top ring to activate the water sprayers (tentacles).
NOTE:
When water sprayers (tentacles) are engaged, please
open the valve located on the upper outside wall to drain excess
water. This will prevent overflow and allow the pool to maintain
it's structure. When water sprayers are not active, close the valve
to prevent water from draining`.

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

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.
Please read carefully and keep for future
reference
Installation usually takes approximately 10 minutes with
2-3 people excluding earthworks and filling.
NOTE:
Some parts already have been installed on the pool.
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
ATTENTION:
Do not leave pool unattended while filling with
water
.
Pool walls will rise as you fill with water.
1. Fill pool until water capacity is 80%, 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.
