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. Turn the pool so the drain valve is near the area where your plan to drain the water.
ATTENTION: Do not drag the pool on the ground in order to avoid puncturing from sharp objects.
4. Insert the stopper plug into the inlet and outlet on the wall of the pool 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" 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.
8. Pull the bottoms of the U-Support outward away from the liner and make the Pole Support taut. Repeat this
procedure for remaining U-Supports.
9. Ensure drain valve is firmly closed.
10. Put 1" to 2" water in the pool to cover the floor. Once pool floor is slightly covered, gently smooth out all wrinkles.
Start in the center of the pool and work your way clockwise to the outside. (See Fig. 4)

Filling Pool with Water
ATTENTION: Do not leave pool unattended while filling with water.
1. Fill pool until water capacity is 90%, 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. (See Fig. 12.13)
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 (See Fig. 14). 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 up to xxxxx liters/xxxx gallons
which equals xxxxx pounds 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.
3. Check pool for any leaks at valves or seams, check ground cloth for
any evident water loss. Do not add chemicals until this has been done.
NOTE: In the event of a leak, patch your pool using the Heavy-duty
repair patch provided. Refer to the FAQ's for further information.

Bumpy, Sloping Ground - INCORRECT
NOTE: 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.
The following table lists the sequence of the tests that
should be carried out for the ideal values and possible
actions. Regularly check the pH value and chlorine
concentration weekly and adjust to the ideal values.
To keep your pool clean:
1. Contact your local pool supply shop for advice and
purchase of chemicals and pH kits.
2. Locate a bucket of water next to pool to clean users' feet before entering pool.
3. Cover the pool when not in use.
4. Skim pool regularly to avoid settled dirt.
5. Change filter cartridge in filter pump every 2 weeks.
6. Gently clean any scum from the side with a clean cloth.
7. To improve the water quality we suggest to use Bestway accessories like skimmer, maintenance kits. Please visit our
website www.bestway-service.com or contact your pool supplier. Please be careful in case of rain water, kindly
check that the water level is not higher than the expected one. If so, please act consequently.
Proper maintenance can maximize the life of your pool.
ATTENTION: Do not use pump when pool is in use.
During the season of use of the swimming pool, the filtration system must be necessarily put into service every day,
enough for a long time to assure at least a complete renewal of the volume of water.
Repair
If your pool is damaged, use the repair patch. -See FAQ's for instructions.
Dismantling
1. Unscrew the drain valve cap on the outside of the pool counter clockwise and remove.
2. Connect the adaptor to the hose and put the other end of the hose in the area where you are going to drain your pool.
(Check local regulations for drainage by-laws).
3. Screw control ring of the hose adaptor onto the drain valve clockwise. The drain valve will be open and water will
start to drain automatically.
ATTENTION: Water flow can be controlled with the control ring.
4. When draining is finished, unscrew the control ring to close the valve.
5. Disconnect the hose.
6. Screw the cap back onto the drain valve.
7. Air dry pool.
ATTENTION: Do not leave the drained pool outside.
Storage
1. Please remove all the accessories and spare parts of the pool and store them clean and dry.
2. Once pool is completely dry, sprinkle with talcum powder to prevent pool from sticking together, fold pool carefully. If
pool is not completely dry, mould may result and will damage the pool liner.
3. Store liner and accessories in a dry place with a moderate temperature between 5ºC / 41ºF and 38ºC / 100ºF.
4. During rainy season, pool and accessories should be storaged as above instruction also.
5. Unproper draining of the pool might cause serious personal injury and/or damage to personal property.
1. What is a suitable base for the Rectangular Frame pool?
Almost any completely flat, solid, level surface can be used. Do not use sand as a leveling material as it is prone to
shifting under the pool. The ground should be dug out until it is perfectly level. Do not set up on driveways, decks,
platforms, gravel or asphalt. The ground should be firm enough to withstand the weight and pressure of the water: mud,
sand, soft / loose soil or tar are not suitable. A concrete base can be used but care should be taken not to drag the pool
across the surface as abrasions could tear the liner. If the pool is to be set up on a lawn, it is recommended that the
grass is removed from where the pool will sit as it will die and may cause odors / slime. Certain types of hardy grass can
grow through the liner as can aggressive bushes / plants by the side of the pool. Ensure adjacent vegetation is cut back
where necessary. Use of a ground cloth assists in protecting the base of the pool.
2. How will I know if my pool is set up on unleveled ground?
If your pool appears to be bulging on one side it is not set up on level ground. It is important that you empty your pool
and move the pool to a level site. If the pool is not on level ground it will place undue stress on the seams and could
result in the seams bursting which will cause flooding, property damage and potentially personal injury or death.
Fill your pool following the instructions in the owner's manual carefully. This will ensure that you do not waste water
and the pool can be moved easily so that the ground can be leveled at an appropriate time and not after you have
completely filled it with water.
3. Can I have my pool filled by a water service?
We recommend using a garden hose under low pressure for filling your pool. If it is necessary to use a water delivery
service, it is best to fill the pool with one inch of water by hose and smooth wrinkles first. Use a water service that is able
to regulate the flow of water to prevent damage. Ensure you stop at each step as noted in the instruction manual to
ensure your pool is level. Bestway will not be held responsible for pools damaged or weakened by water delivery
services.
4. What is the maximum fill height of the pool?
Fill pool until water capacity is 90% top rail. Never attempt to fill your pool beyond the base of the rail. We recommend
leaving extra room to account for water displacement when occupants are inside the pool. You may have to top up the
water during the season which has been lost through evaporation or normal use.
5. My pool is leaking, what do I do to fix it?
The pool does not need to be emptied to fix any holes. Self-adhesive underwater repair patches can be purchased at
your local pool / hardware store. For external use, use the repair patch provided. For internal holes, clean the hole on
Fig. 11
the inside of the pool to wipe off any oils and algae. Cut a circle large enough to cover the hole and apply the patch
securely onto the side in the water. Cut a second patch and apply to the outside of the pool for extra strength. If the hole
is in the base of the pool use one patch only and weigh it down with a heavy object while it bonds. If you have patched
the pool when it is empty we recommend you leave it at least 12 hours before filling.
6. Where can I buy filter cartridges and how often should I change them?
Filter cartridges to fit your filter pump should be available from the store where you purchased your pool. If not, most
mass retailers sell filter cartridges as an accessory. If you are unable to obtain replacements please call our toll-free
number and we will assist you in finding a source local to you. The cartridges should be changed every 2 weeks
dependent upon use of the pool. Check the filter on a weekly basis and clean by hosing down any debris and particles.
Note: Ensure your pump is disconnected from the electrical supply before checking the filter cartridge.
7. How many times a year should I change the water?
This is dependant on the amount of use the pool receives, and the attention paid to covering the pool and keeping
chemicals properly balanced. If maintained correctly the water should last a full summer season. Please contact your
local pool chemical supplier for detailed information regarding chemicals, they will be able to advise you how to best
maintain the cleanliness of your water.
8. Do I need to take my pool down for the winter?
Yes, Above-ground pools may collapse under the weight of ice and snow and the PVC walls will be damaged. We
recommend taking the pool down when temperatures fall below 8ºC / 45ºF. The pool should be stored indoors in a
moderate temperature between 5ºC / 41ºF and 38ºC / 100ºF. Please store away from chemicals and rodents and out of
the reach of children.
9. My pool is fading – why is that?
Excessive use of chemicals can cause the color of the inside of the liner to fade; this is similar to a swimsuit fading
over time from repeated contact with chlorinated water.
10. How many years will the pool last?
There is no set time limit for the pool to last; following the instructions in the owner's manual and with proper care,
maintenance and storage you can considerably increase the life of your pool. Improper set-up, use or care can result in
failure of the pool.
11. Do you recommend the use of a filter pump with a Bestway pool?
Absolutely! We strongly recommend you the use of a filter pump which could maintain the water of the pool clean.
12. Which are the most important functions of my filter pump?
The most important function of a filter pump is the elimination of every sort of impurity from the water by the aid of a
filter cartridge and chemical products for its sterilization.
13. The top rails of the pool frame are not rigid because the C-Connectors are loose, will the pool collapse when
filled with water?
No, when water is added to the pool the pressure will lock the C-Connectors into position and the top frame will be
rigid.
