IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read and Follow All Safety Information and Instructions.
Keep for future reference.
Failure to follow these warnings and instructions can result in serious injury or death to users,
especially children.
The safety of your children depends entirely on you! Children, especially children younger than five years, are at high risk of drowning.
Drowning occurs silently and quickly and can occur in as little as 2 in. (5cm) of water.
Keep children in your direct sight, stay close, and actively supervise them when they are in or near this pool and when you are filling and
emptying this pool.
When searching for a missing child, check the pool first, even if child is thought to be in the house.
Empty pool completely after each use and store the empty pool in such a way that it does not collect water from rain or any other source.
Assign at least one person in charge of safety. Increase supervision if there are several people in the swimming pool. Teach your
children to swim if possible.
Test the water temperature before entering the pool by splashing water on your neck, arms and legs.
Prohibit running and playing games near the swimming pool.
Pool and accessories should only be assembled by competent adults.
Your pool should be filled by low pressure water flow in order to prevent undue stress to the liner. Bestway will not be responsible for
damage to the pool due to filling via water-truck. (See FAQ’s)
Do not straddle, sit, lean over or put pressure onto the top rail, doing so could result in collapse of the pool and flooding, causing serious
personal injury and/or damage to personal property.
Do not swim alone.
Store chemicals and accessories out of the reach of children.
Never add chemicals to pool while it is occupied. Consult a specialist pool supply retailer to ensure correct chemical usage.
Pool water should be tested regularly to ensure it is optimal for safe and enjoyable use throughout the season.
Household pets should be kept clear of pool area to avoid structural damage to pool.
Remove cover completely when in use.
A working electronic detector should be installed to alert you if someone has entered the pool area.
Under no circumstances should this equipment replace an adult’s nearby supervision.
The pools shall be set up so that they comply with local safety and building codes.
Only use Bestway accessories with Bestway pools.
Properly maintain your pool in order to increase life span and safe use. (See Pool Maintenance Section)
Always keep the pool clean and clear. The bottom of the pool shall be visible at all times from the outside perimeter of the pool.
Use artificial lighting during nighttime pool use, to illuminate all safety signs, ladders, steps, pool floor and walks.
All equipment should be inspected frequently to detect and avoid deterioration, corrosion, broken parts or other hazards, which may
cause injury. Remember to reapply sunscreen protection regularly and always after swimming.
Only persons older than 18 years of age can manipulate electrical accessories; they must conform to the appropriate safety principles
of occupational safety and must be qualified to carry out the tasks on the electrical installation in accordance with any corresponding
national regulations and standards.

Safety Barrier Guidelines for Residential Swimming Pool
Section I: Outdoor swimming pool
An outdoor swimming pool, including an inground, aboveground, or onground pool, hot tub, or spa, should be provided with a barrier
which complies with the following:
1. The top of the barrier should be at least 48 inches above grade measured on the side of the barrier which faces away from the
swimming pool. The maximum vertical clearance between grade and the bottom of the barrier should be 4 inches measured on
the side of the barrier which faces away from the swimming pool. Where the top of the pool structure is above grade, such as an
aboveground pool, the barrier may be at ground level, such as the pool structure, or mounted on top of the pool structure. Where
the barrier is mounted on top of the pool structure, the maximum vertical clearance between the top of the pool structure and the
bottom of the barrier should be 4 inches.
2. Openings in the barrier should not allow passage of a 4-inch diameter sphere.
3. Solid barriers, which do not have openings, such as a masonry or stone wall, should not contain indentations or protrusions
except for normal construction tolerances and tooled masonry joints.
4. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical members and the distance between the tops of the horizontal members
is less than 45 inches, the horizontal members should be located on the swimming pool side of the fence. Spacing between
vertical members should not exceed 1-3/4 inches in width. Where there are decorative cutouts, spacing within the cutouts should
not exceed 1-3/4 inches in width.
5. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical members and the distance between the tops of the horizontal members
is 45 inches or more, spacing between vertical members should notexceed 4 inches. Where there are decorative cutouts, spacing
within the cutouts should not exceed 1-3/4 inches in width.
6. Maximum mesh size for chain link fences should not exceed 1-3/4 inch square unless the fence is provided with slats fastened at
the top or the bottom which reduce the openings to no more than 1-3/4 inches.
7. Where the barrier is composed of diagonal members, such as a lattice fence, the maximum opening formed by the diagonal
members should be no more than 1-3/4 inches.
8. Access gates to the pool should comply with Section I, Paragraphs 1 through 7, and should be equipped to accommodate
alocking device. Pedestrian access gates should open outward, away from the pool, and should be self-closing and have a
self-latching device. Gates other than pedestrian access gates should have a self-latching device. Where the release mechanism
of the self-latching device is located less than 54 inches from the bottom of the gate, (a) the release mechanism should belocated
on the pool side of the gate at least 3 inches below the top of the gate and (b) the gate and barrier should have no opening
greater than 1/2 inch within18 inches of the release mechanism.
9. Where a wall of a dwelling serves aspart of the barrier, one of the following should apply:
(a) All doors with direct access to the pool through that wall should be equipped with an alarm which produces an audible warning
when the door and its screen, if present, are opened. The alarm should sound continuously for a minimum of 30 seconds
within 7 seconds after the door is opened. Alarms should meet the requirements of UL2017 General-Purpose Signaling
Devices and Systems, Section 77. The alarm should have a minimum sound pressure rating of 85 dBA at 10 feet and the
sound of the alarm should be distinctive from other household sounds, such as smoke alarms, telephones, and door bells. The
alarm should automatically reset under all conditions. The alarm should be equipped with manual means, such as touchpads
or switches, to temporarily deactivate the alarm for a single opening of the door from either direction. Such deactivation should
last for no more than 15 seconds. The deactivation touchpads or switches should be located at least 54 inches above the
threshold of the door.
(b) The pool should be equipped with a power safety cover which complies with ASTM F1346-91 listed below.
(c) Other means of protection, such as self-closing doors with self-latching devices, are acceptable so long as the degree of
protection afforded is not less than the protection afforded by (a) or (b) described above.
10. Where an aboveground pool structure is used as a barrier or where the barrier is mounted on top of the pool structure, and the
means of access is a ladder or steps, then (a) the ladder to the pool or steps should be capable of being secured, locked or
removed to prevent access, or(b) the ladder or steps should be surrounded by a barrier which meets Section I, Paragraphs 1
through 9. When the ladder or steps are secured, locked, or removed, any opening created should not allow the passage of a
4-inch diameter sphere.
Section II: Barrier Locations
Barriers should be located so as to prohibit permanent structures, equipment or similar objects from being used to climb the barriers.

interrupter (GFCI). The 20 ft. (6 m) distance is measured via the shortest straight line distance the supply cord would follow without
piercing a floor, wall, ceiling, doorway, window, or other permanent barrier.
Prior to use of the pool, the installer shall affix all no diving signs and safety signs in accordance with installation instructions so they
can be easily visible.
A barrier is necessary to provide protection against potential drowning and near drowning and that barriers are not a substitute for the
constant supervision of children.
A list of emergency telephone numbers shall be posted, such as the nearest available police, fire, ambulance, and/or rescue unit.
These numbers are to be kept near the telephone that is closest to the pool.
Toys, chairs, tables, or similar objects that a young child could climb shall be at least 4 feet (1219 mm) from the pool.
