READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
-
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. In addition, the following information can be supplied depending on the pool type. -
Keep these instructions in a safe place. If instructions are missing, please contact the manufacturer or search it on the website www.bestwaycorp.com.
-
Designate a competent adult to supervise the pool each time it is being used.
-
Barriers, pool covers, pool alarms, or similar safety devices are helpful aids, but they are not substitutes for continuous and competent adult supervision.
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.
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.
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.
- 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.
Keep children under supervision in the aquatic environment. No diving.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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. In order to prevent drowning or other serious injuries, pay particular attention to the possibility of unexpected access to the swimming pool by children under 5 years by securing the access to it, and, during the bathing period, keep them under constant adult supervision.
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).
- 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.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
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
bestwaycorp.com/support.
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.
Suggested set-up surfaces: grass, ground, concrete, and all other surfaces that respect the above set-up conditions.
Surfaces to avoid: mud, sand, gravel, deck, balcony, driveway, platform, soft/loose soil or other surface that does not meet the above set-up conditions. -
Check with your local city council for by-laws relating to fencing, barriers, lighting and safety requirements and ensure you comply with all laws.
-
If a pump and/or ladder is included in the set, refer to the pump’s and/or ladder’s manual for safety instructions and installation. The ladder must match the pool size.
-
If during set up it is necessary to change the position of the pool, lift up the liner and do not drag it on the ground; the friction between the PVC material and the ground can damage the pool liner.
-
Follow the important instructions above to choose the correct surface and location to set up your pool. Damaged parts of the pool, due to the fact that the set-up surface and location does not match the instructions, will not be considered as manufacture defect and will avoid the warranty and any service claims.
INSTALLATION
ASSEMBLING
- For installation instructions, follow the drawings inside the manual. Drawings are for illustration purposes only. May not reflect actual product. Not to scale.
- Assembly of the Frame Pool can be completed without tools.
- Installation usually takes approximately 10-20 minutes with 2-3 people excluding filling.
- To lengthen the life of your pool, it is important to sprinkle the top rails with the Talcum Powder before assembly. Talcum Powder is not included in the package.
- Bestway will not be responsible for damage caused to the pool due to mishandling or failure to follow these instructions.
- We strongly suggest opening the package and assembling the pool when the environment temperature is above 15ºC / 59ºF; the PVC material of the liner will become more flexible and easier to assemble.
FILLING POOL WITH WATER
- Do not leave pool unattended while filling with water.
- Fill the pool with water after all assembly steps are completed and until the water reaches the welding line, which corresponds to 90% of the full capacity.
- Do not overfill as this could cause the pool to collapse. In case of heavy rainfall, we strongly recommend to reduce the water level to keep it at 90% capacity, to avoid overflowing of the water.
- When the pool is completely filled, check that the distance between the water surface and the top of the rails is the same all around; if it is different, it means that the floor is not leveled so we strongly recommend to drain the water and re-level the ground.
- Keeping the pool full of water on unleveled ground can cause bursting of the welding points and/or pool collapse, causing serious personal injury and/or damage to property.
MAINTENANCE
If you do not adhere to the maintenance guidelines below, your health might be
at risk, especially that of your children.
WATER
- Keeping your pool water clean and chemically balanced is necessary. Simply cleaning the filter cartridge is not enough for proper maintenance; we recommend you use pool chemicals to maintain water chemistry and chlorine or bromine tablets (do not use granules) with the chemical dispenser.
- Water quality is directly related to frequency of use, number of users and overall maintenance of the pool. The water should be changed every 3 days if there is no chemical treatment being performed with the water. It is highly recommended to use tap water for filling to minimize the influence of unwanted content, such as minerals.
- We recommend that you take a shower before using your pool, as cosmetic products, lotions, and other residues on the skin can quickly degrade water quality.
- Skim pool regularly to avoid settled dirt.
- Locate a bucket of water next to pool to clean users’ feet before entering pool.
- The chemical maintenance must be performed with ChemConnect or chemical floater; don’t throw chemical products directly in the water, the chemical will deposit on the bottom and damage the material and discolor the PVC.
Chemical Tablets (Not Included):
- Your purchased pool set may not include any dispensers; in this case you can purchase one by visiting our website www.bestwaycorp.com or at the nearest pool dealer.
- Remove the chemical dispenser from pool when the pool is in use.
- After performing chemical maintenance and before using the pool, use a test kit (not included) to test the water chemistry. We recommend maintaining your water chemical balance as shown in the below table.
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 |
- Pool damage resulting from misuse of chemicals and mismanagement of pool water is not covered by the warranty.
- Over usage of chemicals will discolor the printing and all points of the pool material; in worst cases, it will damage the structure of the pool liner.
- Pool chemicals are potentially toxic and should be handled with care. There are serious health risks from chemical vapors and the incorrect labeling and storage of chemical containers.
- Please consult your local pool or chemical supply retailer for more information about chemical maintenance. Pay close attention to the chemical manufacturer’s instructions.
- The pump is used to circulate the water and to filter small particles. In order to keep your pool water clean and hygienic, you must also add chemicals.
LINER
- We suggested that you buy a pool cover, if not included in the set, and cover the pool when not in use, to prevent any damage to the Duraplus material on the top rails. Gently clean any dirt deposit on the top rails with a clean cloth.
DISASSEMBLY AND STORAGE
DRAINING
- For draining, follow the drawings inside the manual. Drawings are for illustration purposes only. May not reflect actual product. Not to scale.
- To drain your pool water, check local regulations for drainage by-laws.
CLEANING
- Rinse the pool liner with tap water, to remove any residual of chemicals or dirt completely.
- Leave the pool under the sunlight until it’s completely dried.
- To remove the remaining water completely, wipe the pool liner with a dry cloth.
STORAGE
- Remove all accessories; be sure that pool liner and accessories are completely clean and dry before the storage. If the pool is not completely dry, mold may result and will damage the pool liner during the storage period.
- Once pool is completely dry, sprinkle with talcum powder to prevent pool from sticking together.
- We strongly recommend disassembling the pool when the environment temperature is below 10ºC / 50ºF.
- Fold the pool liner only if the environment temperature is above 10ºC / 50ºF. Store the pool in a dry place with a moderate temperature between 10ºC / 50ºF and 38ºC / 100ºF and position the pool liner and all accessories inside a carton box, to better protect the PVC material during the winter period.
