IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read and Follow All Safety Information and Instructions. Keep for
future reference. Failure to follow these warnings and instructions
can result in serious injury or death to users, especially children.
WARNING
Prevent Drowning
Closely watch children who are in or near this pool.
Children under 5 are at highest risk for drowning.
• Children, especially children younger than five years, are at high risk of drowning.
• Drowning occurs silently and quickly and can occur in as little as 2 in. (5cm) of water.
• Keep children in your direct sight, stay close, and actively supervise them when they are in or near this pool and when
you are filling and emptying this pool.
• When searching for a missing child, check the pool first, even if child is thought to be in the house.
• Empty pool completely after each use and store the empty pool in such a way that it does not collect water from rain or
any other source.
Drowning Risk:
• Keep unsupervised children from accessing the pool by installing fencing or other approved barrier around all sides of
the pool. State or local laws or codes may require fencing or other approved barriers. Check state or local laws and
codes before setting up the pool. Refer to the list of barrier recommendations and guidelines as described in CPSC
Publication No.362.
• Remove pool ladders before leaving the pool. Children as young as 2 years have climbed up ladders and into pools
and drowned.
• Do not leave toys inside pool when finished using, since toys and similar items might attract a child to the pool.
• Position furniture (for example, tables, chairs) away from pool and so that children cannot climb on it to gain access to
the pool.
• Locate pumps and filters in such a way that children cannot climb on them and gain access to the pool.
• If a drain or suction outlet cover is missing or broken, do not use the pool. Suction can cause body part entrapment,
hair and jewelry entanglement, evisceration, or drowning. Repair or replace the drain or suction outlet cover before
allowing the pool to be used.
• After using the pool, remove water to a level of 1/2 in. (1cm) or less.
• If you have a ladder, refer to the ladder's manual for instructions.
Diving Risk:
• Do not dive into the pool. Diving into shallow water can result in a broken neck, paralysis, or death.
Electrocution Risk:
• Keep all electrical lines, radios, speakers and other electrical appliances away from the pool.
• Do not place pool near or under overhead electrical lines.
• Do not operate pump while pool is in use. If you have a filter pump, refer to the pump's manual for instructions.
First Aid:
• Keep a working phone and a list of emergency numbers near the pool.
Post emergency numbers including:
• Fire
• Police
• Ambulance
• Poison Control Hotline
• Become certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). In the event of an emergency, immediate use of CPR can
make a life-saving difference.

Safety Barrier Guidelines for Residential Swimming Pool

Section I: Outdoor swimming pool

An outdoor swimming pool, including an inground, aboveground, or onground pool, hot tub, or spa, should be provided
with a barrier which complies with the following:
1. The top of the barrier should be at least 48 inches above grade measured on the side of the barrier which faces
away from the swimming pool. The maximum vertical clearance between grade and the bottom of the barrier should
be 4 inches measured on the side of the barrier which faces away from the swimming pool. Where the top of the
pool structure is above grade, such as an aboveground pool, the barrier may be at ground level, such as the pool
structure, or mounted on top of the pool structure. Where the barrier is mounted on top of the pool structure, the
maximum vertical clearance between the top of the pool structure and the bottom of the barrier should be 4 inches.
2. Openings in the barrier should not allow passage of a 4-inch diameter sphere.
3. Solid barriers, which do not have openings, such as a masonry or stone wall, should not contain indentations or
protrusions except for normal construction tolerances and tooled masonry joints.
4. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical members and the distance between the tops of the
horizontal members is less than 45 inches, the horizontal members should be located on the swimming pool side of
the fence. Spacing between vertical members should not exceed 1-3/4 inches in width. Where there are decorative
cutouts, spacing within the cutouts should not exceed 1-3/4 inches in width.
5. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical members and the distance between the tops of the
horizontal members is 45 inches or more, spacing between vertical members should not exceed 4 inches. Where
there are decorative cutouts, spacing within the cutouts should not exceed 1-3/4 inches in width.
6. Maximum mesh size for chain link fences should not exceed 1-3/4 inch square unless the fence is provided with
slats fastened at the top or the bottom which reduce the openings to no more than 1-3/4 inches.
7. Where the barrier is composed of diagonal members, such as a lattice fence, the maximum opening formed by the
diagonal members should be no more than 1-3/4 inches.
8. Access gates to the pool should comply with Section I, Paragraphs 1 through 7,and should be equipped to
accommodate a locking device. Pedestrian access gates should open outward, away from the pool, and should be
self-closing and have a self-latching device. Gates other than pedestrian access gates should have a self-latching
device. Where the release mechanism of the self-latching device is located less than 54 inches from the bottom of
the gate, (a) the release mechanism should be located on the pool side of the gate at least 3 inches below the top of
the gate and (b) the gate and barrier should have no opening greater than 1/2 inch within18 inches of the release
mechanism.
9. Where a wall of a dwelling serves as part of the barrier, one of the following should apply:
(a) All doors with direct access to the pool through that wall should be equipped with an alarm which produces an
audible warning when the door and its screen, if present, are opened. The alarm should sound continuously for a
minimum of 30 seconds within 7 seconds after the door is opened. Alarms should meet there quirements of
UL2017 General-Purpose Signaling Devices and Systems, Section 77. The alarm should have a minimum sound
pressure rating of 85 dBA at 10 feet and the sound of the alarm should be distinctive from other household
sounds, such as smoke alarms, telephones, and door bells. The alarm should automatically reset under all
conditions. The alarm should be equipped with manual means, such as touchpads or switches, to temporarily
deactivate the alarm for a single opening of the door from either direction. Such deactivation should last for no
more than 15 seconds. The deactivation touchpads or switches should be located at least 54 inches above the
threshold of the door.
(b) The pool should be equipped with a power safety cover which complies with ASTM F1346-91 listed below.
(c) Other means of protection, such as self-closing doors with self-latching devices, are acceptable so long as the
degree of protection afforded is not less than the protection afforded by (a) or (b) described above.
10. Where an aboveground pool structure is used as a barrier or where the barrier is mounted on top of the pool
structure, and the means of access is a ladder or steps, then (a) the ladder to the pool or steps should be capable of
being secured, locked or removed to prevent access, or (b) the ladder or steps should be surrounded by a barrier
which meets Section I, Paragraphs 1 through 9. When the ladder or steps are secured, locked, or removed, any
opening created should not allow the passage of a 4-inch diameter sphere.

Section II: Barrier Locations

Barriers should be located so as to prohibit permanent structures, equipment or similar objects from being used to climb
the barriers.

CHOOSE THE CORRECT LOCATION
NOTE:
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 children 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; Nud, 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 ground cloth or 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.
Installation
Bestway Inflatables will not be responsible for damage caused to the pool due to mishandling or failure to follow these
instructions.
1. Lay out all parts and check that you have the correct quantities as listed in the components list. If you are missing any
part do not assemble the pool, contact Bestway Customers Service.
2. 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.
3. Turn the pool so the drain valve is near the area where your plan to drain the water.
ATTENTION:
Do not drag the pool on the ground in order to avoid puncturing from sharp objects.
NOTE:
The base or bottom of the pool should be laid out properly (flat without wrinkles).
4. Insert the stopper plug into the inlet and outlet on the wall of the pool from the inside of the pool.
5. Slide Top Rail A into the pole sleeve at the top of the pool. Connect Top Rail B to Top Rail A: ensure the spring-loaded
pins snap into the pre-drilled holes. Be sure to line up the holes in the sleeves with the holes on the Top Rails.
Continue inserting the Top Rails into the other side of the pool. (See Fig. 1)
6. Install the U-supports; first insert the U-support through the Pole support at the bottom of the pools, then insert the
two ends of the U-Support into the exposed holes on the Top Rails. Complete one side before moving to the other
side of the pool. (See Fig. 2.1/2.2)
7. Inflate the top ring of the pool with an air pump (not included). Ensure the safety valve is closed securely after
inflation. (See Fig. 3)
ATTENTION:
Do not use high pressure air hose or over inflate the top ring, it should be slightly stiff to the
touch.
NOTE:
Hot temperatures cause air to expand the ring and may cause damage. Leave some room for expansion.
Please see FAQ's for additional information.
8. Ensure drain valve is firmly closed.
9. Put 1in to 2in 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.
