POOL MAINTENANCE
If you do not adhere to the maintenance guidelines below, your health might be at risk, especially that of your children.
Using chemical tablets (not included):
NOTE:
Chemconnect or Chemical Floater must be used when you perform chemical maintenance with tablets. Your purchased
item may not include any of those dispensers, in this case you can purchase it by visiting our website www.bestwaycorp.com or at the
nearest pool dealer.
IMPORTANT:
Don't use granulate tablets or throw the tablet directly in the water. The chemicals can deposit on the bottom,
damage the material and discolor the PVC.
Using chemical liquid (not included):
NOTE:
Damage resulting from chemical imbalance is not covered by the warranty. 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 supply retailer for more information about chemical maintenance. Pay close attention to the
chemical manufacturer's instructions. Pool damage resulting from misuse of chemicals and mismanagement of pool water is not
covered by the warranty.
IMPORTANT:
Over usage of chemicals can discolor the printing and all points of the pool material. It can also damage
the structure of the pool liner.
To keep your pool clean:
1. Contact your local pool supply shop for advice and purchase of chemicals and pH kits. One of the most important factors to
increase the life of the liner is to keep continuously clean and healthy water. Please strictly follow the instructions from professional
technicians for the water treatment through the use of chemicals.
2. Locate a bucket of water next to pool to clean users’ feet before entering pool.
3. Cover the pool when not in use.
4. Skim pool regularly to avoid settled dirt.
5. Check and wash the filter cartridge regularly.
6. Gently clean any scum from below the top ring with a clean cloth.
7. Please be careful in case of rain water, kindly check that the water level is not higher than the expected. If so, YOU HAVE TO
DISCHARGE THE EXCESS WATER.
8. 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.
Proper maintenance can maximize the life of your pool.
During the season of use of the swimming pool, the filtration system must be necessarily put into service every day, enough time to
assure at least a complete renewal of the volume of water.
NOTE:
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.
REPAIR
In the event of a leak, patch your pool using the underwater adhesive repair patch provided. You can find the instructions in FAQs on
the support section of our website, www.bestwaycorp.com.
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 the control ring of the hose adaptor clockwise onto the drain valve. 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
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.
