WARNING
Carefully read, understand, and follow all information in this user manual before installing and using the swimming pool. These warnings, instructions, and safety guidelines address some common risks of water recreation, but they cannot cover all risks and dangers in all cases. Always use caution, common sense, and good judgment when enjoying any water activity. Retain this information for future use. Non Swimmers safety

• Continuous, active, and vigilant supervision of weak swimmers and non-swimmers by a competent adult is required at all times (remembering that children under five are at the highest risk of drowning).
• Designate a competent adult to supervise the pool each time it is being used.
• Weak swimmers or non-swimmers should wear personal protection equipment when using the pool.
• When the pool is not in use, or unsupervised, remove all toys from the swimming pool and its surrounding to avoid attracting children to the pool.

Safety devices

• In order to prevent children from drowning, it is recommended to secure the access to the pool with a protection device. In order to prevent children climbing from the inlet and outlet valve, it is recommended to install a barrier (and secure all doors and windows, where applicable) to prevent unauthorized access to the swimming pool.
•  Barriers, pool covers, pool alarms, or similar safety devices are helpful aids, but they are not substitutes for continuous and competent adult supervision.

Safety equipment

• It is recommended to keep rescue equipment (e.g. a ring buoy) by the pool.
• Keep a working phone and a list of emergency phone numbers near the pool.

Safe use of the pool

• Encourage all users especially children to learn how to swim
• Learn Basic Life Support (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation – CPR) and refresh this knowledge regularly. This can make a life-saving difference in the event of an emergency.
•  Instruct all pool users, including children, what to do in case of an emergency.
• Never dive into any shallow body of water. This can lead to serious injury or death.
• Do not use the swimming pool when using alcohol or medication that may impair your ability to safely use the pool.
•  When pool covers are used, remove them completely from the water surface before entering the pool.
• Protect pool occupants from water related illnesses by keeping the pool water treated and practicing good hygiene. Consult the water treatment guidelines in the user’s manual.
• Store chemicals (e.g. water treatment, cleaning or disinfection products) out of the reach of children.
• Use the signage as outlined below. Signage is to be displayed in a prominent position within 2m of the pool.
• Removable ladders shall be placed on a horizontal surface.
• Irrespective of materials used for swimming pool construction, accessible surfaces have to be checked regularly to avoid injuries.
• Regularly monitor bolts and screws. Remove splinters or any sharp edges to avoid injuries.

ATTENTION: Do not leave the drained pool outside. The empty pool is liable to become deformed and/or displaced due to wind.

• If you have a filter pump, refer to the pump’s manual for instructions. WARNING! The pump cannot be used while people are inside the pool!
•  If you have a ladder, refer to the ladder’s manual for instructions. WARNING! The use of a swimming pool implies compliance with the safety instructions described in the operating and maintenance guide.

CHOOSE THE CORRECT LOCATION

IMPORTANT: The pool must be set up on a completely flat and level surface. Please do not install the pool if the surface is inclined or sloped. Correct conditions to set up the pool

• The selected location has to be capable of uniformly supporting the weight for the entire time the pool is installed, moreover the location must be flat and must be cleared of all objects and debris including stones and twigs.
• We recommend positioning the pool away from any objects kids could use to climb into the pool.

NOTE: Position the pool near an adequate drainage system to deal with overflow or to discharge the pool. Incorrect conditions to set up the pool:

• On uneven ground the pool may collapse causing serious personal injury and/or damage to personal property and will void the warranty and prevent any service claims.
• Sand should not be used to create a level base; the ground must be dug out if necessary.
• Directly under overhead power lines or trees. Be sure the location does not contain underground utility pipes, lines or cables of any kind.
• Do not set up the pool on driveways, decks, platforms, gravel or asphalt surfaces. The selected location should be firm enough to withstand the pressure of the water; mud, sand, soft / loose soil or tar are not suitable.
• Grass or other vegetation under the pool will die and may cause odors and slime to develop, therefore we recommend removing all grass from the selected pool location.
• Avoid areas prone to aggressive plant and weed species that may grow through the liner.
• NOTE: Check with your local city council for by-laws relating to fencing, barriers, lighting and safety requirements and ensure you comply with all laws.
• NOTE: If have a filter pump, refer to the pump’s manual for instructions.
• NOTE: The ladder must match the pool size and should to be used only for entering and exiting the pool. It is forbidden to exceed the permitted payload of the ladder. Check regularly if the ladder is properly assembled.

Pool Maintenance

If you do not adhere to the maintenance guidelines below, your health might be at risk, especially that of your children.

Using chemical tablets (not included)

NOTE: Chemconnect or Chemical Floater must be used when you perform chemical maintenance with tablets. Your purchased item may not include any of those dispensers, in this case you can purchase it by visiting our website www.bestwaycorp.com or at the nearest pool dealer.

IMPORTANT: Don’t use granulate tablets or throw the tablet directly in the water. The chemicals can deposit on the bottom, damage the material and discolor the PVC.

Using chemical liquid (not included)

IMPORTANT: Add chemical liquid in small doses and in the center of the pool to avoid direct contact between the chemicals and the PVC surface. Direct contact can damage the material and discolor the surface.
NOTE: Remove the chemical dispenser from pool when the pool is in use.
