• The installation must comply with the codes of the authority having jurisdiction and may require permits for building, plumbing electrical, zoning,
etc.
• The pool shall be located a minimum distance of 183 cm (6 ft) from any electrical receptacle.
• All 125 volt, 15 and 20 ampere receptacles located within 6 m (20 ft) of the pool shall be protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). The
6 m (20 ft) 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 121 cm (4 ft) from the pool.
• If deck is used by the installer, it will need to comply with APSP-8.
• Basic lifesaving equipment, including one of the following, shall be on hand at all times: a. A light, strong, rigid pole (shepherd's crook) not less
than 366 cm (12 ft) long. b. A minimum 6 mm (¼ in) diameter rope as long as 1½ times the maximum width of the pool or 15.2 m (50 ft),
whichever is less, which has been firmly attached to a Coast Guard-approved ring buoy, or a similarly approved flotation devices.
• The swimming pool cover is not designated as a safety barrier. Please use artificial lighting during nighttime pool use, to illuminate all safety signs,
ladders, steps, deck surfaces and walks.
• The pool is subject to wear and deterioration. If not maintained properly, certain types of excessive or accelerated deterioration can lead to failure
of the pool structure that might release large quantities of water that could cause bodily harm and property damage.
• The bottom of the pool shall be visible at all times from the outside perimeter of the pool.
• The installer of the vinyl liner shall affix on the original or replacement liner, or on the pool structure, all safety signs in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
• The ladder shall be located on a solid base and the ladder shall be installed per the ladder's instructions.
• Publications are available that describe the risk of drowning, entrapment, and diving accidents. Available publications related to pool safety
include the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals' (APSP) booklets entitled: The Sensible Way to Enjoy Your Aboveground/Onground
Swimming Pool, Children Aren't Waterproof, Pool and Spa Emergency Procedures for Infants and Children, Layers of Protection, and the latest
published edition of ANSI/APSP-8 Model Barrier Code for Residential Swimming Pools, Spas, and Hot Tubs.

NOTE:
If your purchased pool set do not have any circulation system, you can purchase separately. But please make sure the equipment
can turn over total volume of pool water no less than once every 12 hr. You can check the water capacity on packaging to select suitable circulation
system. Pump provided for the circulation of water shall be tested by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory and certified to conform to
UL1081.
Also make sure the selected suction outlet sold with the pump should be tested by a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory and certified to
conform to ASME/ANSI A112.19.8 or its successor standard ANSI/APSP-16, in order to prevent suction entrapment.

PRE-SETUP
CHECK LIST
Check the parts inside the manual. Verify that the equipment components represent the model that you had intended to purchase. In case of any
damaged or missing parts at the time of purchase, visit our website bestwayusa.com/ourwarranties.
CHOOSE THE CORRECT LOCATION
The surface chosen to install the pool on must respect the following conditions:
• Because of the combined weight of the water inside the pool and the pool users, it is extremely important that the surface chosen to install the
pool on is capable of uniformly supporting the total weight for the entire time the pool is installed. When choosing the surface, take into
consideration that water may come out of the pool when in use or when it rains. If the water softens the surface, it may lose its capability to
support the pool weight.
• Check the position of the vertical legs and/or the U-supports regularly. They must be on the same level as the bottom of the pool at all times. If the
vertical leg or the U-support starts to sink into the ground, drain the pool water immediately to avoid the pool collapsing due to the uneven loading
on the frame structure. Change the location of the pool or modify the surface material.
• The surface must be flat and smooth. If the surface is inclined or uneven, it can create an unbalanced loading on the structure of the pool. This
can damage the welding points of the liner and bend the frame. In the worst cases, the pool can collapse, causing serious personal injury and/or
damage to personal property.
• We recommend positioning the pool away from any objects children could use to climb into the pool.
• Position the pool near an adequate drainage system to deal with overflow or to empty the pool. Ensure the pool side with the water inlet A and
outlet B is located in the same direction of the power source, where the filtration system has to be connected.
• The selected surface must be clear of any type of object. Due to the weight of the water, any object under the pool could damage or perforate the
bottom of the pool.
• The selected surface must be clear of aggressive plants and weed species. Those types of strong vegetation could grow through the liner and
create water leakage. Grass or other vegetation that may cause odor or slime to develop have to be eliminated from the set-up location.
• The selected location must not have overhead power lines or trees. Be sure the location does not contain underground utility pipes, lines or
cables of any kind.
• The selected position must be far from house entrance. Do not position any equipment or other furniture around the pool. The water that comes
out of the pool during use or due to product faults can damage furniture inside the house or surrounding the pool.
• The selected surface must be flat and without holes that can damage the material of the liner.
