When the warmer months arrive, there’s nothing better than having your own Bestway pool all setup and ready for endless fun.
Whether you’re assembling it for the first time or preparing it after winter storage, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to set up a Bestway pool and have it ready to enjoy.
Step 1: Choose the right location
Before setting up your Bestway pool, make sure to pick a level, stable surface large enough for your pool. It must be level or the water inside will be uneven and could cause damage to the liner or frame. Placing a ground cloth or protective mat underneath will help prevent damage to the pool base.
Step 2: Unpack and check
If you’re setting up your pool for the first time, carefully unpack everything and make sure you have all the parts you need. For those reusing their pool, inspect the liner, frame, and pump for wear and tear before assembling.
Step 3: Assemble your pool
Follow the instructions to properly set up your Bestway pool. Ensure all frame pieces are securely connected and the liner is evenly spread out to prevent wrinkles. You can find a range of setup videos on our YouTube channel too.
Step 4: Setup your filter
Your Bestway pool will more than likely have a filter to help keep the water nice and clean. Again, follow the instructions or see our video help here. Check if you need new filter cartridges.
Step 5: Fill with Water
Begin filling your pool with water, smoothing out any wrinkles in the liner as it fills. Keep an eye on the structure to ensure it remains stable during the filling process. Larger Bestway pools will take several hours to fill up.
Step 6: Water Treatment and Filtration
Once your pool is full, use pool chemicals to treat the water and to keep it clean. Use our Bestway Pool Chemical Guide to help you. Running the pool filter regularly will also help maintain water clarity.
Step 7: Safety and accessories
Before diving in, make sure all safety measures are in place. A ladder should be taken away when the pool is not in use to avoid children getting into trouble. Use a Bestway pool cover to keep debris out when not in use, and consider a skimmer, or pool vacuum for easier maintenance.
Step 8: Enjoy Your Pool!
With your Bestway pool set up and ready to go, it’s time to enjoy! Regular maintenance, including skimming, testing water levels, and cleaning the filter, will ensure your pool stays in great condition all season long.
By following these simple steps, you can make the most of your Bestway pool and enjoy a hassle-free swimming experience all summer.
