This manual provides instructions for the Bestway 2024M-00280 Inflatable Ice Bath. Key requirements include setting up the bath on a flat, smooth surface, inflating the liner to 0.48 Bar (7 PSI), and maintaining water chemistry to ensure safety. Always ensure the filter pump is connected correctly and the air is discharged before operation.
Parts & Tools
Before assembly, verify all parts are present, including the bath liner, cover, pump, filter, and necessary hoses/clamps. Ensure the equipment matches the model purchased.
Setup Instructions
Choosing the Location: Select a flat, smooth surface capable of supporting the weight of the bath, water, and users. Avoid areas with sharp objects, aggressive vegetation, or surfaces that cannot handle water drainage. We recommend unfolding and inflating the liner at an ambient temperature above 15°C (59°F).
Inflation: Use the provided pump to inflate the bath to 0.48 Bar (7 PSI). The pressure gauge is for reference only.
Pump & Hose Connection
Connect the filter pump to the bath using the provided hoses and clamps. Ensure hydraulic connectors are not obstructed. Before switching on the pump, perform the air discharging operation to prevent damage to the pump.
Maintenance Instructions
Water Maintenance: Keeping water clean is essential. Use a chemical dispenser with chlorine or bromine tablets (do not use granules). Maintain water chemistry within the specified parameters: pH 6.8–7.6, free active chlorine 0.3–1.5 mg/l. Change water every 3 days if no chemical treatment is used.
Filter Pump Maintenance: Replace the filter cartridge every two weeks. The pump should only operate when the ambient temperature is above 10°C (50°F) and water temperature is above 5°C (41°F).
Disassembly & Storage
Before draining, remove any remaining ice. Rinse the liner with tap water, allow it to dry completely in the sunlight, and wipe with a dry cloth. Sprinkle with talcum powder to prevent sticking. Store in a dry place between 15°C and 38°C.
Safety Information
Never dive into the bath. Keep children under constant supervision. Do not use the bath if you have consumed alcohol or medication that may cause drowsiness. Water temperature should not exceed 40°C (104°F).
