1. It is recommended not to fill the pool with catchment water, drilling water, or drainage well water:
these waters generally contain polluted organic substances including nitrates and phosphates.
Filling pools with water from the public network is advised.
2. Always keep your pool clean and apply the correct pool chemicals. Unsanitary water is a serious
health hazard. It is recommended to use disinfectant, flocculant, acid or alkali chemicals to treat
your pool.
3. Clean the PVC liner regularly with non-abrasive brushes or a pool vacuum cleaner.
4. Throughout the season, the water filtration system must run long enough each day to clean the
entire volume of water in the pool.
5. Check the filter cartridge (or sand in a sand filter) regularly and replace dirty cartridges (or sand).
6. Regularly check the screws, bolts and all the metal parts for rust. Replace if necessary.
7. If it rains, check that the water level is not higher than the specified level. If water exceeds the
specified levels, drain the pool to the specified level.
8. Do not use the pump when the pool is in use.
9. Cover the pool when not in use.
10. For pool water treatment, the pH value is very important.
ATTENTION: Do not leave the drained pool outside.
The following parameters ensure good quality water

Total organic carbon (TOC) in mg/l
Redox potential against Ag/AgCI 3,5 m KCl in mV
pH value
Free active chlorine (without cyanuric acid) in mg/l
Free chlorine used in combination with cyanuric acid in mg/l
Cyanuric acid in mg/l
Combined chlorine in mg/l
Repair
Check pool for any leaks from valves or seams, check the 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 underwater adhesive repair patch provided.
Refer to the FAQ's for further information.
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 and Winterization
1. Please remove all the accessories and spare parts of the pool and store them clean and dry.
2. Once pool is completely dry, sprinkle with talcum powder to prevent pool from sticking together,
fold pool carefully.
If pool is not completely dry, mold may result and will damage the pool liner.
3. Store liner and accessories in a dry place with a moderate temperature between 5ºC / 41ºF and
38ºC / 100ºF.
4. During the rainy season, pool and accessories should be stored as per above instructions also.
5. Improper draining of the pool might cause serious personal injury and/or damage to personal
property.
6. We strongly recommend the pool is disassembled during the off season (winter months). Store in
a dry location out of children's reach.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
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 soil 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?
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 your pool beyond the base of the rail. 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?
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.
Values
Cut a circle large enough to cover the hole and apply the patch securely onto the side in the water.
