Assembly
Can I embed the pool liner into the ground?
Close Me
No, the structure is designed to be positioned above ground.
Can I have my pool filled by a water service?
Close Me
We recommend using a garden hose under low pressure to fill in your pool. If it is necessary to use a water delivery service, it is better to fill the pool with 1 cm (0.4 in.) of water by hose and smooth wrinkles first. It is recommended to 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.
Can I set my pool up on uneven ground or on a different surface not mentioned in the Owner's Manual?
Close Me
If you set up your Bestway pool on an area that is uneven or a non-recommended area stated in the Owner’s Manual, you waive the right to submit a warranty claim. By setting up the pool improperly you dramatically increase the chance of your pool being damaged.

Is it possible to partially or totally bury the pool without damaging the pool and/or losing the warranty?
Close Me
Bestway Pools are designed to be above ground. To assemble your purchased pool, you must follow the instructions in the owner's manual. Partially or totally burying the pool results in the penalty of loss of the warranty.
What can I use to protect the bottom of my liner?
Close Me
We suggest to always position a Bestway floor protector between the ground and the bottom of the liner.
What is a suitable surface for setting up my pool?
Close Me
Almost any completely flat, solid and level surface can be used. Do not use sand as leveling material as it is prone to shift 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 stable enough to withstand the weight and pressure of the water. Mud, sand, soft/loose ground and tar are not suitable. We recommend not to drag the pool across the ground when moving it, to avoid abrasions and tears in the liner. If the pool has to be set up on a lawn, we recommend removing the grass underneath and around it, as it may wither and die causing unpleasant odors and/or slime.
IMPORTANT: Certain types of hard grass can grow through the liner, as can aggressive bushes/plants by the sides or through the pool. If this happens, it cannot be considered a manufacturer problem.
Please note that ground cloths, while designed to protect the bottom of the pool, will not stop any underlying vegetation from growing. Therefore, make sure to remove all hardy bushes/plants from the selected location and its surroundings before setting up the pool.
What is the maximum fill height of the pool?
Close Me
Fill the pool with water after all assembly steps are completed and until the water reaches the welding line, which corresponds to 90% of the full capacity. Do not overfill as this could cause the pool to collapse. In case of heavy rainfall, we strongly recommend to reduce the water level to keep it at 90% capacity, to avoid overflowing of the water.
What is the recommended size of sand for Bestway Flowclear Sand Filters?
Close Me
The recommended size of sand for Bestway Flowclear Sand Filter is from 0.45 mm to 0.85 mm. The most common type is Silica #20, which is available from pool suppliers and many mass merchandisers. Using the incorrect size of sand will cause the system to malfunction and void its warranty.
What tools will I need to assemble the sand filter?
Close Me
You will only need a screwdriver to assemble the sand filter.
Which is the correct steps to install the pool cover?
Close Me
Watch the video for detailed information.
Why does the pump have to be under the water level?
Close Me
The filter pump/sand filter is designed to be positioned on the ground. If the filter pump/sand filter is positioned at (or above) the water level, the motor will work without water. This will cause the filter pump/sand filter to be damaged.
Dismantling
Do I need to disassemble my pool for the winter?
Close Me
It is strongly recommended to disassemble the pool for the winter. The above ground pools may collapse under the weight of ice and snow, which would greatly damage the PVC pool walls. We recommend disassembling the pool when temperatures fall below 15ºC / 59ºF.

Seventh step: Fill with the new sand until it reaches the mark between Max. and Min. marked on the hub.
IMPORTANT: cover the hole on the top of the hub to avoid the sand going inside, and add the sand gently to avoid damaging the debris screen at the bottom of the tank.
Eighth step: Install the control valve and fix the top flange to close the tank.
IMPORTANT: when performing this operation, please be sure that the O-ring is in the correct position and completely clean from the sand.
IMPORTANT: Every time you change the sand in the sand filter, before using with the pool, you must perform the backwash and rinse following the instructions provided in the manual.
Why is the water turning white?
Close Me
If the water becomes white, it is the chemical reaction between the chemical used and the quality of the water. Consult your chemical dealer to adjust the water condition.
Why isn't water flowing between the pump and the pool?
Close Me
If there is no flow between the pump and the pool follow these steps:
1. Be sure that the socket has power and the switch on the pump is in the on position. Put your hand on the pump to feel the vibration of the motor.
2. See if there is anything that blocking the hoses.
3. Check if the control valve is positioned on the filter function.
4. Perform the backwash and rinse functions. Open the cap on the Port D and be sure that water flows out with power.
5. If all of the above operations function and the problem still remains, it is the time to replace the sand.
