The Bestway Power Steel oval pool is designed for outdoor recreational use. This manual provides essential instructions for safe installation, operation, and maintenance to ensure the longevity of your pool and the safety of all users.
Safety Guidelines
Safety is paramount when using the pool. Continuous, active, and vigilant supervision by a competent adult is required at all times, especially for non-swimmers and children under five. Never dive into shallow water. Keep rescue equipment, such as a ring buoy, and a working phone with emergency numbers nearby. Ensure the pool area is secured to prevent unauthorized access.
Installation
Before assembly, check all parts against the components list. The pool should be set up on a flat, smooth, and level surface capable of supporting the total weight of the water and users. Avoid soft or loose soil; if necessary, use timber boards (max 2 cm thick) under the vertical supports to distribute the load. Allow the pool liner to sit in direct sunlight for at least one hour before assembly to increase flexibility. Do not use extension cords for the filter pump.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for water hygiene and liner longevity. Use a filter pump to circulate water and remove small particles. Chemical treatment is necessary; use a chemical dispenser for tablets and add liquid chemicals in small doses in the center of the pool to avoid direct contact with the liner. Regularly test water chemistry and maintain parameters such as pH (6.8-7.6) and free chlorine levels. Keep the pool covered when not in use and skim the surface regularly.
Repair and Storage
In case of a leak, use the provided underwater adhesive repair patch. For off-season storage, drain the pool completely, ensure it is dry, and sprinkle with talcum powder to prevent sticking before folding. Store in a dry location with a moderate temperature between 5°C and 38°C.
