Preparation
• Check with your local city council for by-laws relating to fencing, barriers, lighting and safety requirements and
ensure you comply with all laws.
• Take the pool and accessories out of the carton with care. If the pool set comes with a ladder, the ladder
requires a crosshead screwdriver or an adjustable wrench ( not included ) to assemble.
• Locate your pool with a minimum of 122cm (4 feet) space on all sides so that a child can not use an object to
climb into the pool. Do not set up directly under overhead power lines or trees and be sure the location does
not contain underground utility pipes, lines or cables of any kind.
• It is essential the pool is set up on solid, level ground. If the pool is set up on uneven ground it can result in
collapse of the pool and flooding, causing serious personal injury and/or damage to personal property. Setting
up on uneven ground will void the warranty and service claims.
• Sand should not be used to create a level base, the ground should be dug out if necessary.
• Do not set pool up on driveways, decks, platforms, gravel or asphalt. Ground should be firm enough to
withstand the pressure of the water; mud, sand, soft / loose soil or tar are not suitable.
• The ground must be cleared of all objects and debris including stones and twigs.
NOTE: Lawn or other vegetation under the pool will die and may cause odors and slime, therefore we
recommend removing all grass from where the pool will be located. Avoid locating your pool over or beside
areas prone to aggressive plant and weed species as they may grow through the ground cloth or liner.
• We highly recommend that once the pool is unfolded on the ground cloth to let it sit exposed to direct sunlight
for 1 hour or more so that the pool is more flexible during set up.
• If purchased with a pump, the pump should be installed after pool is fully assembled. Remember to locate the
intake and return outlets towards the outside power source.
• Pump should be connected to a grounding type receptacle protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
Do not plug into extension cords, timers or plug adapters/converters. Locate cord so that it will not be damaged
by lawn mowers, hedge trimmers or other cutting equipment.
• If you bought a separate ladder for your pool, make sure it matches the pool size.
• Regularly check to make sure the ladder is properly assembled.
NOTE: The ladder is only to be used for entering and exiting the pool.

any part do not assemble the pool, contact our Customer Service Department for assistance.
2. If pool was purchased with a ground cloth, spread carefully at the desired location. This pool may have been
purchased with a Bestway Filter Pump, if a pump is to be used (recommended and also available separately)
the pool should be located within distance of a 110-volt AC outlet protected by a GFCI-Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter.
3. 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.
4. Turn the pool so the drain valve is near the area where your plan to drain the water and pump valves are
facing the GFCI outlet for the optional filter pump.
ATTENTION: Do not drag the pool on the ground in order to avoid puncturing from sharp objects. Bestway
Inflatables will not be responsible for damage caused to the pool due to mishandling or failure to follow these
instructions.
5. Insert the stopper plug into the inlet and outlet on the wall of the pool from the inside of the pool. (See Fig.10)
NOTE: For 549cm x 122cm (18' x 48") and 549cm x 132cm (18' x 52") pools, please refer to the connection
valve installation on following page.
6. Insert top rail (A) into the pole pockets at the top of the pool.(See Fig.1)
7. Connect top rail (A) with T-Connector (C) at each of corner and insert pins (D) into gasket (F) first and then
into pre-drilled holes of the frame.
NOTE: The gasket cups should face downwards to prevent water leaking into the top rails.(See Fig.2,3,4)
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until all top rails (A) are connected with T-Connectors (C) and the top frame is set up.
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.5)
9. Put all vertical pool legs (B) inside the bottom rope and the pool wall band. Connect vertical pool leg (B) into
the bottom of the T-Connector (C) . Make sure the vertical pool leg (B) has the spring loaded pins at the top
when connecting the T-Connector ( C).(See Fig.6)
NOTE: For 244cm x 61cm (8' x 24") pools, no bottom rope and wall band. For 305cm x 76cm (10' x 30"),
366cm x 76cm (12' x 30") pools, no bottom rope.
10. Attach all footings( E) to the bottom of the vertical pool legs (B).(See Fig.7)
11. Tighten the rope at the bottom of the pool until the legs are straight.(See Fig.8)
12. Fold the PVC flaps onto T- Connector (C) Place C clips ( G) over PVC flaps to secure them to the frame.
(See Fig.9)
13. Pull the frame from different directions to ensure all rails, pool legs and connectors are firmly jointed.
(See Fig.9)
14. Ensure drain valve is firmly closed.
15. 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 to drain valve.
STOP
2. Turn water off. Check that the water is not collecting on any side to ensure the pool is level. If pool is not level,
drain water and re-level ground by digging out (See Fig. 19). Never attempt to move the pool with water in it,
serious personal injury or damage to the pool may result.
NOTE: 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. When level, fill pool to lowest pump valve.
STOP
4. Turn water off. Check valves for secure fit.
5. 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. 18)
6. 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.
7. In the event of a leak, patch your pool using the patch kit provided. Refer to the FAQ's for further information.

suspended dirt particles. In order to keep your pool water clean and hygienic you must add chemicals.
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.
