7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until all top rails (A) are connected with all T-Connectors (C) and the top frame is set up.
NOTE:
For ease of assembly slightly raise the last 2 rails to an inverted v shape and insert into the last T-Connectors(C). Slowly lower until fully connected taking care not to pinch your fingers. (See Fig. 4)
8. Connect vertical pool leg (B) into the bottom of the T-Connector (C). (See Fig. 5)
NOTE:
Make sure the hole on the vertical pool leg (B) is facing outward.
9. Attach all footings (E) to the bottom of the vertical pool legs (B). (See Fig. 6)
10. When the pool is completely assembled pull the frame from different directions to ensure all rails, pool legs and connectors are firmly jointed. (See Fig. 7)
11. Ensure drain valve is firmly closed. Smooth out the bottom.
12. Insert the 8 Tent legs (K) to the 8 T-Connectors (C) (See Fig. 9)
13. One fiberglass pole (L) has 3 sections. Extend the fiberglass pole by pulling out each section and place it into the metal ferrules.
14. Insert one end of the pre-extend fiberglass pole to the Tent leg (K), the other end to the Sprayer (F). Repeat this step for the other fiberglass poles. Make sure the 8 fiberglass poles form a semidome. (See Fig. 10)
15. Connect the hose (M) to the Sprayer (F) and the Hose adaptor (N).(See Fig. 11)
NOTE:
The Hose Adapter can be used with two different garden hoses.
16. Spread the tent's outer cloth (O), make sure the center is above on the Sprayer (F), adjust the tent's outer cloth (O) position until the sewing lines are superposed to the fiberglass poles (L). Hook the tent's outer cloth (O) to the hole of the vertical pool leg (B).
(See Fig. 12)
17. Tie the outer cloth (O) to the fiberglass pole (L) by using the 3 pairs ropes at the inner of outer cloth (O). The rope can also fix the hose (M).
18. Smooth out all wrinkles on the outer cloth and make it perfect.
IMPORTANT:
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.
Filling Pool with Water
ATTENTION:
Do not leave pool unattended while filling with water
1. Fill pool just below the fill line on the pool's interior. Do not exceed the fill line on the pool's interior. 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. 14)
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. 13). 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.

Pool Maintenance
If you do not adhere to the maintenance guidelines below, your health might be at risk, especially that of your children.
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.
Refer to filter pump manual to install, operate and maintain the filter pump.
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.
TEST
IDEAL VALUES
pH value
7.4– 7.6
Cyanuric acid
30 – 50 ppm
Free chlorine
2 – 4 ppm
Chlorine compound
0
Algae
None visible
Calcium hardness
200 – 400 ppm
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.
ATTENTION:
THE BESTWAY POOL COVER IS NOT A SAFETY COVER.
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.
Proper maintenance can maximize the life of your pool.
ATTENTION:
Ensure you run your filtration system everyday for 7-8 hours, but no more than 8 hours as overheating and damage to your pump may occur. Do not use pump when pool is in use.
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. 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.
2. Store liner and accessories in a dry place with a moderate temperature between 5ºC / 41ºF and 38ºC / 100ºF.
1. What is a suitable base for the Frame Set 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 solid 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 just below the fill line on the pool's interior. Do not exceed the fill line on the pool's interior. 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 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.
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.
